Quantum Computing in the Arts and Humanities: An Introduction to Core Concepts, Theory and Applications
暫譯: 藝術與人文中的量子計算：核心概念、理論與應用導論
Miranda, Eduardo Reck
商品描述
Computers are essential for the functioning of our society. Despite the incredible power of existing computers, computing technology is progressing beyond today's conventional models. Quantum Computing (QC) is surfacing as a promising disruptive technology. QC is built on the principles of quantum mechanics. QC can run algorithms that are not trivial to run on digital computers. QC systems are being developed for the discovery of new materials and drugs and improved methods for encoding information for secure communication over the Internet. Unprecedented new uses for this technology are bound to emerge from ongoing research.
The development of conventional digital computing technology for the arts and humanities has been progressing in tandem with the evolution of computers since the 1950s. Today, computers are absolutely essential for the arts and humanities. Therefore, future developments in QC are most likely to impact on the way in which artists will create and perform, and how research in the humanities will be conducted.
This book presents a comprehensive collection of chapters by pioneers of emerging interdisciplinary research at the crossroads of quantum computing, and the arts and humanities, from philosophy and social sciences to visual arts and music.
Prof. Eduardo Reck Miranda is a composer and a professor in Computer Music at Plymouth University, UK, where he is a director of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR). His previous publications include the Springer titles Handbook of Artificial Intelligence for Music, Guide to Unconventional Computing for Music, Guide to Brain-Computer Music Interfacing and Guide to Computing for Expressive Music Performance.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
電腦對於我們社會的運作至關重要。儘管現有電腦的能力驚人，計算技術仍在超越當前的傳統模型。量子計算（Quantum Computing, QC）作為一種有前景的顛覆性技術正在浮現。QC建立在量子力學的原則之上。QC能夠執行在數位電腦上運行起來並不簡單的演算法。QC系統正在被開發用於新材料和藥物的發現，以及改進信息編碼的方法，以便在互聯網上進行安全通信。這項技術的前所未有的新用途必將從持續的研究中湧現。
自1950年代以來，傳統數位計算技術在藝術和人文領域的發展與電腦的演變同步進行。如今，電腦對於藝術和人文學科絕對是不可或缺的。因此，未來量子計算的發展最有可能影響藝術家創作和表演的方式，以及人文研究的進行方式。
本書呈現了一系列由量子計算與藝術和人文學科交叉領域的前沿研究先驅所撰寫的章節，涵蓋從哲學和社會科學到視覺藝術和音樂的各個領域。
