Abstract In this work, we describe a method of calculation of the 1-D circular quantum convolution of signals represented by 3-qubit superpositions in the computational basis states. The examples of the ideal low pass and high pass filters are described and quantum schemes for the 3-qubit circular convolution are presented. In the proposed method, the 3-qubit Fourier transform is used and one addition qubit, to prepare the quantum superposition for the inverse quantum Fourier transform. It is considered that the discrete Fourier transform of one of the signals is known and calculated in advance and only the quantum Fourier transform of… 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 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 >

Abstract The extraction of entity relationship triples is very important to build a knowledge graph (KG), meanwhile, various entity relationship extraction algorithms are mostly based on data-driven, especially for the current popular deep learning algorithms. Therefore, obtaining a large number of accurate triples is the key to build a good KG as well as train a good entity relationship extraction algorithm. Because of business requirements, this KG’s application field is determined and the experts’ opinions also must be satisfied. Considering these factors we adopt the top-down method which refers to determining the data schema firstly, then filling the specific data according… More >

Abstract Software defined network (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) have become a new paradigm of a new generation of network architecture. SDN and NFV can effectively improve the flexibility of deploying and managing service function chains (SFCs). By combining SDN and NFV and applying them to the resource orchestration problem of SFC deployment, the three-tier architecture consisting of SDN controller, network function virtualization and physical underlying computing resource layer in the process of heterogeneous network resource mapping is considered. And an optimization algorithm for active control resources based on SDN and NFV is proposed. Firstly, the user’s utility is modeled… More >

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 Quantum computing is a promising new approach to tackle the complex real-world computational problems by harnessing the power of quantum mechanics principles. The inherent parallelism and exponential computational power of quantum systems hold the potential to outpace classical counterparts in solving complex optimization problems, which are pervasive in machine learning. Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) is a quantum machine learning algorithm inspired by classical Support Vector Machine (SVM) that exploits quantum parallelism to efficiently classify data points in high-dimensional feature spaces. We provide a comprehensive overview of the underlying principles of QSVM, elucidating how different quantum feature maps and quantum… 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 A GRASP-based algorithm called T_GRASP for avoiding typhoon route optimization is suggested to increase the security and effectiveness of ship navigation. One of the worst natural calamities that can disrupt a ship’s navigation and result in numerous safety mishaps is a typhoon. Currently, the captains manually review the collected weather data and steer clear of typhoons using their navigational expertise. The distribution of heavy winds and waves produced by the typhoon also changes dynamically as a result of the surrounding large-scale air pressure distribution, which significantly enhances the challenge of the captain’s preparation for avoiding typhoon navigation. It is now… More >

Abstract How to establish a secure and efficient quantum network coding algorithm is one of important research topics of quantum secure communications. 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. 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 >
