Book Description
Today's supply chains are becoming more complex and interconnected. As a result, traditional optimization engines struggle to cope with the increasing demands for real-time order fulfillment and inventory management. With the expansion and diversification of supply chain networks, these engines require additional support to handle the growing complexity effectively. This poses a significant challenge for supply chain professionals who must find efficient and cost-effective solutions to streamline their operations and promptly meet customer demands. Quantum Computing and Supply Chain Management: A New Era of Optimization offers a transformative solution to these challenges. By harnessing the power of quantum computing, this book explores how supply chain planners can overcome the limitations of traditional optimization engines. Quantum computing's ability to process vast amounts of data from IoT sensors in real time can revolutionize inventory management, resource allocation, and logistics within the supply chain. It provides a theoretical framework and practical examples to illustrate how quantum algorithms can enhance transparency, optimize dynamic inventory allocation, and improve supply chain resilience.

Book Description
The digital age has witnessed the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence (AI), a paradigm-shifting technology that has redefined the boundaries of computation and decision-making. Initially, AI's journey began with basic rule-based systems, evolving into the current digital age is dominated by complex machine learning and deep learning models. The digital AI presence and progression has brought with it a myriad of ethical challenges, necessitating a rigorous examination of AI's role in complex and interconnected systems. Ethical Dimensions of AI Development notes that the core of these challenges are issues of privacy, transparency, and validity. AI's ability to process vast datasets can intrude on individual privacy, while opaque algorithmic decision-making processes can obscure transparency. Addressing these ethical concerns is crucial to fostering trust and ensuring the responsible use of AI technologies in society. Covering topics such as accountability, discrimination, and privacy and security, this book is an essential resource for AI researchers and developers, data scientists, ethicists, policy makers, legal professionals, technology industry leaders, and more.

Book Description
The first industrial revolution was accompanied by the emergence of the School of Engineering, the second brought about the School of Electrical Engineering, and the third digital revolution led to the School of Information. It is now obvious that the change in this quantum revolution must lead to the emergence of the School of Quantum Science and Technology. Quantum technology can develop comprehensively through the integration of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM). In 1925, Heisenberg developed the Matrix Mechanics, cracking the mysteries of the Quantum world. Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Matrix Mechanics, in 2024, the General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed 2025 the 'International Year of Quantum Science and Technology,' along with a year-long initiative celebrating the profound impacts of quantum science on technology, culture, and our understanding of the natural world.This book outlines the importance of the 'Second Quantum Revolution,' introduces quantum computers, quantum communications, and quantum sensors, and then provides a framework for the emergence of the quantum Internet of Things. What basic quantum literacy should modern citizens have in this era? The 'Second Quantum Revolution,' where quantum knowledge and engineering technology are once again combined, will provide faster, more effective, and more sensitive quantum facilities to accelerate cross-field exploration, and will also make human life more comfortable and convenient than ever before.In the 'First Quantum Revolution' in the 20th century, humans learned quantum science from nature and used existing materials to make quantum components. In the 'Second Quantum Revolution' in the 21st century, humans further used quantum science to construct quantum engineering. We now make materials and components that are not found in nature and assemble new quantum machines to benefit mankind! This is the stage of a glorious quantum era, which is a hundred times more brilliant than the past classical physics era.
