Quantum Computing for the Brain argues that the brain is the killer application for quantum computing. No other system is as complex, as multidimensional in time and space, as dynamic, as less well-understood, as of peak interest, and as in need of three-dimensional modeling as it functions in real-life, as the brain.Quantum computing has emerged as a platform suited to contemporary data processing needs, surpassing classical computing and supercomputing. This book shows how quantum computing's increased capacity to model classical data with quantum states and the ability to run more complex permutations of problems can be employed in neuroscience applications such as neural signaling and synaptic integration. State-of-the-art methods are discussed such as quantum machine learning, tensor networks, Born machines, quantum kernel learning, wavelet transforms, Rydberg atom arrays, ion traps, boson sampling, graph-theoretic models, quantum optical machine learning, neuromorphic architectures, spiking neural networks, quantum teleportation, and quantum walks.Quantum Computing for the Brain is a comprehensive one-stop resource for an improved understanding of the converging research frontiers of foundational physics, information theory, and neuroscience in the context of quantum computing.

Quantum information and contemporary smart network domains are so large and complex as to be beyond the reach of current research approaches. Hence, new theories are needed for their understanding and control. Physics is implicated as smart networks are physical systems comprised of particle-many items interacting and reaching criticality and emergence across volumes of macroscopic and microscopic states. Methods are integrated from statistical physics, information theory, and computer science. Statistical neural field theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence are employed to derive a smart network field theory (SNFT) and a smart network quantum field theory (SNQFT) for the orchestration of smart network systems. Specifically, a smart network field theory (conventional or quantum) is a field theory for the organization of particle-many systems from a characterization, control, criticality, and novelty emergence perspective.This book provides insight as to how quantum information science as a paradigm shift in computing may influence other high-impact digital transformation technologies, such as blockchain and machine learning. Smart networks refer to the idea that the internet is no longer simply a communications network, but rather a computing platform. The trajectory is that of communications networks becoming computing networks (with self-executing code), and perhaps ultimately quantum computing networks. Smart network technologies are conceived as autonomous self-operating computing networks. This includes blockchain economies, deep learning neural networks, autonomous supply chains, self-piloting driving fleets, unmanned aerial vehicles, industrial robotics cloudminds, real-time bidding for advertising, high-frequency trading networks, smart city IoT sensors, and the quantum internet.

This practical introduction explains the field of Blockchain Economics, the economic models emerging with the implementation of distributed ledger technology. These models are characterized by three factors: open platform business models, cryptotoken money supplies, and Initial Coin Offerings as a new and official form of financing. The book covers a variety of approaches from a business and academic perspective, ranging from financial theory, complexity, and open innovation networks to behavioral economics, self-determination theory, public policy, and financial inclusion.Unlike existing titles, this book draws on worldwide blockchain industry experts to define the new discipline of Blockchain Economics and provide novel theoretical and conceptual resources for the future of this fast-developing economy. The primer also highlights the wider theme of blockchain as an institutional technology, in that many value transfer interactions might be shifted to automated networks, decreasing the number of human-operated institutions.As well as stimulating further research, and implementation by business innovators and public policy strategists, the book can also be used as a foundational textbook in courses on Blockchain Economics.

The book provides concrete tips for the successful organization of software tests. Because: Planning and conception in advance are essential for successful test projects. Setting the right course prevents problems from the outset and highlights the need for action in software testing. In addition to theoretical basics, this work shows the implementation in practice and deals with typical problems. Frank Witte explains the decisive aspects to be considered in the test concept in order to optimally support and accompany the test process. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Strategie, Planung und Organisation von Testprozessen by Frank Witte, Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Mit den Standardwerken der "Betriebswirtschaftstheorie" von Walther Busse von Colbe und Gert Lassmann wurden bis Anfang der 1990er-Jahre Massstabe gesetzt, eine Vielzahl von Studierenden hat mit den Buchern, die besonderen Wert auf die praktische Relevanz legen, gelernt und wichtige Theorien verstanden. Der dritte Band der Betriebswirtschaftstheorie zur "Investitionsrechnung und Investitionstheorie" liegt nun in der Autorenschaft Walther Busse von Colbe und Frank Witte in der funften Auflage komplett aktualisiert und uberarbeitet vor. Parallel zum Buch liefert die Web-Seite Investitionstheorie.de eine Lernumgebung, die ein Blended-Learning-Ansatz unterstutzt und das Standardwerk so in die "neue Zeit" uberfuhrt. Das Buch erlautert verstandlich alle wichtigen Zusammenhange der Investitionsrechnung und Investitionstheorie: z.B. Berechnung des Kapitalwerts, Berechnung des internen Zinses, Investitionsentscheidungen unter Unsicherheit, risikoadjustierte Kapitalkosten, Vergleich von Leasing mit dem Kreditkauf, optimale Nutzungsdauer bzw. optimaler Ersatzzeitpunkt, Nutzwertanalyse. UEbungsaufgaben und Kontrollfragen leiten zum selbstandigen Arbeiten an und ermoeglichen die Kontrolle des erworbenen Wissens. Dem Blended-Learning-Ansatz folgend, liegen alle Berechnungen als Excel-Dateien auf der Seite Investitionstheorie.de vor und koennen zum besseren Verstandnis nachgerechnet werden. Daruber hinaus liegen zu den einzelnen Kapiteln PowerPoint-Prasentationen (als Massnahme der Dozentenunterstutzung) bereit; Webinare fuhren die Studierenden in die Themen ein. Zudem werden Tutorials und Videoanleitungen bereitgestellt, die helfen sollen das Tabellenkalkulationsprogramm MS-EXCEL in der Investitionsrechnung einzusetzen. Digitale Zusatzmaterialien zum Buch gibt es auf: www.Investitionstheorie.de Eine Rezension zum Buch: https://www.rezensionen.ch/investitionstheorie-und-investitionsrechnung/3662579065/
