Abstract In this paper, focus has been given to design and implement signed binary subtraction in quantum logic. Since the type of operand may be positive or negative, therefore a novel algorithm has been developed to detect the type of operand and as per the selection of the type of operands, separate design techniques have been developed to make the circuit compact and work very efficiently. Two separate methods have been shown in the paper to perform the signed subtraction. The results show promising for the second method in respect of ancillary input count and garbage output count but at the… More >

Abstract The well-known Riccati differential equations play a key role in many fields, including problems in protein folding, control and stabilization, stochastic control, and cybersecurity (risk analysis and malware propagation). Quantum computer algorithms have the potential to implement faster approximate solutions to the Riccati equations compared with strictly classical algorithms. While systems with many qubits are still under development, there is significant interest in developing algorithms for near-term quantum computers to determine their accuracy and limitations. In this paper, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, the Matrix Riccati Solver (MRS). This approach uses a transformation of variables to turn a set… More >

Abstract Prior versions of reversible data hiding with contrast enhancement (RDHCE) algorithms strongly focused on enhancing the contrast of grayscale images. However, RDHCE has recently witnessed a rise in contrast enhancement algorithms concentrating on color images. This paper implies a method for color images that uses the RGB (red, green, and blue) color model and is based on bi-histogram shifting and image adjustment. Bi-histogram shifting is used to embed data and image adjustment to achieve contrast enhancement by adjusting the images resulting from each channel of the color images before combining them to generate the final enhanced image. Images are first… More >

Abstract As one of the major methods for the simulation of option pricing, Monte Carlo method assumes random fluctuations in the distribution of asset prices. Under certain uncertainties process, different evolution paths could be simulated so as to finally yield the expectation value of the asset price, which requires a lot of simulations to ensure the accuracy based on huge and expensive calculations. In order to solve the above computational problem, quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) has been established and applied in the relevant systems such as European call options. In this work, both MC and QM methods are adopted to simulate… More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose a new protocol designed for quantum private comparison (QPC). This new protocol utilizes the hyperentanglement as the quantum resource and introduces a semi-honest third party (TP) to achieve the objective. This protocol’s quantum carrier is a hyperentangled three-photon GHZ state in 2 degrees of freedom (DOF), which could have 64 combinations. The TP can decide which combination to use based on the shared key information provided from a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol. By doing so, the security of the protocol can be improved further. Decoy photon technology is also used as another means of… More >

Abstract This paper provides an introduction to a quantum search algorithm, known as Grover’s Algorithm, for unsorted search purposes. The algorithm is implemented in a search space of 4 qubits using the Python-based Qiskit SDK by IBM. While providing detailed proof, the computational complexity of the algorithm is generalized to n qubits. The implementation results obtained from the IBM QASM Simulator and IBMQ Santiago quantum backend are analyzed and compared. Finally, the paper discusses the challenges faced in implementation and real-life applications of the algorithm hitherto. Overall, the implementation and analysis depict the advantages of this quantum search algorithm over its… More >

Abstract Language detection models based on system calls suffer from certain false negatives and detection blind spots. Hence, the normal behavior sequences of some malware applications for a short period can become malicious behavior within a certain time window. To detect such behaviors, we extract a multidimensional time distribution feature matrix on the basis of statistical analysis. This matrix mainly includes multidimensional time distribution features, multidimensional word pair correlation features, and multidimensional word frequency distribution features. A multidimensional time distribution model based on neural networks is built to detect the overall abnormal behavior within a given time window. Experimental evaluation is… More >

Abstract As an ideal material, bulk metallic glass (MG) has a wide range of applications because of its unique properties such as structural, functional and biomedical materials. However, it is difficult to predict the glass-forming ability (GFA) even given the criteria in theory and this problem greatly limits the application of bulk MG in industrial field. In this work, the proposed model uses the random forest classification method which is one of machine learning methods to solve the GFA prediction for binary metallic alloys. Compared with the previous SVM algorithm models of all features combinations, this new model is successfully constructed… More >

Abstract In the detection process of classic radars such as radar/lidar, the detection performance will be weakened due to the presence of background noise and loss. The quantum illumination protocol can use the spatial correlation between photon pairs to improve image quality and enhance radar detection performance, even in the presence of loss and noise. Based on this quantum illumination LIDAR, a theoretic scheme is developed for the detection and tracking of moving targets, and the trajectory of the object is analyzed. Illuminated by the quantum light source as Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC), an opaque target can be identified from the… More >

Abstract Recent contrast enhancement (CE) methods, with a few exceptions, predominantly focus on enhancing gray-scale images. This paper proposes a bihistogram shifting contrast enhancement for color images based on the RGB (red, green, and blue) color model. The proposed method selects the two highest bins and two lowest bins from the image histogram, performs an equalized number of bidirectional histogram shifting repetitions on each RGB channel while embedding secret data into marked images. The proposed method simultaneously performs both right histogram shifting (RHS) and left histogram shifting (LHS) in each histogram shifting repetition to embed and split the highest bins while… More >

Abstract The ability of pre-trained BERT model to achieve outstanding performances on many Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks has attracted the attention of researchers in recent times. However, the huge computational and memory requirements have hampered its widespread deployment on devices with limited resources. The concept of knowledge distillation has shown to produce smaller and faster distilled models with less trainable parameters and intended for resource-constrained environments. The distilled models can be fine-tuned with great performance on a wider range of tasks, such as sentiment classification. This paper evaluates the performance of DistilBERT model and other pre-canned text classifiers on a… More >

Based on the butterfly network model and the characteristics of easy preparation of Bell states, a novel anti-noise quantum network coding protocol is proposed in this paper. The new protocol encodes and transmits classical information by virtue of Bell states. It can guarantee the transparency of the intermediate nodes during information, so that the eavesdropper Eve disables to get any information even if he intercepts the transmitted quantum states. In view of the inevitability of quantum noise in quantum… More >

Abstract The urbanization rate of Nanjing has increased in the past 55 years. Its development process can be roughly divided into the reverse urbanization phase, the stagnant development phase, the recovery development phase, the steady development phase, and the accelerated development phase. The area of cultivated land has a decreasing trend at each stage. In 1971 and beyond, urbanization development had a significant negative effect on the area of cultivated land, and the coordination between the two was not high and there was a downward trend.
