Quantum Process Algebra, 1e

Yong Wang
Elsevier
424 pages
ISBN: 9780443275135
March 2025

Quantum Process Algebra introduces readers to the algebraic properties and laws for quantum computing. The book provides readers with all aspects of algebraic theory for quantum computing, including the basis of semantics and axiomatization for quantum computing. With the assumption of a quantum system, readers will learn to solve the modelling of the three main components in a quantum system: unitary operator, quantum measurement, and quantum entanglement, with full support of quantum and classical computing in closed systems. Next, the book establishes the relationship between probabilistic quantum bisimilarity and classical probabilistic bisimilarity, including strong probabilistic bisimilarity and weak probabilistic bisimilarity, which makes an axiomatization of quantum processes possible. With this framework, quantum and classical computing mixed processes are unified with the same structured operational semantics. Finally, the book establishes a series of axiomatizations of quantum process algebras. These process algebras support nearly all main computation properties. Quantum and classical computing in closed quantum systems are unified with the same equational logic and the same structured operational semantics under the framework of ACP-like probabilistic process algebra. This unification means that the mathematics in the book can be used widely for verification of quantum and classical computing mixed systems, for example, most quantum communication protocols. ACP-like axiomatization also inherits the advantages of ACP, for example, and modularity means that it can be extended in an elegant way.

Artificial Neural Networks and Type-2 Fuzzy Set: Elements of Soft Computing and Its Applications covers the fundamental concepts and the latest research on variants of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), including scientific machine learning and Type-2 Fuzzy Set (T2FS). In addition, the book also covers different applications for solving real-world problems along with various examples and case studies. It may be noted that quite a bit of research has been done on ANN and Fuzzy Set theory/ Fuzzy logic. However, Artificial Neural Networks and Type-2 Fuzzy Set is the first book to cover the use of ANN and fuzzy set theory with regards to Type-2 Fuzzy Set in static and dynamic problems in one place. Artificial Neural Networks and Type-2 Fuzzy Sets are two of the most widely used computational intelligence techniques for solving complex problems in various domains. Both ANN and T2FS have unique characteristics that make them suitable for different types of problems. This book provides the reader with in-depth understanding of how to apply these computational intelligence techniques in various fields of science and engineering in general and static and dynamic problems in particular. Further, for validation purposes of the ANN and fuzzy models, the obtained solutions of each model in the book is compared with already existing solutions that have been obtained with numerical or analytical methods.

ISBN: 9780128222409
March 2025

Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease: Biological and Technological Advances aims to introduce to a wide audience the high global priority problem of detecting AD prior to dementia onset. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and care costs will cost the nation approximately $290 billion (2019 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures). With the failure of recent AD drug trials, many hypothesize that by the time symptoms appear, it is too late to be treated. Early detection can offer benefits such as more choice of medications, ability to participate in clinical trials, more time for family and for care planning. This book outlines potential solutions to the above problem using opportunities arising from the technology revolution, advances in neuroscience, and molecular biology. Most importantly, it discusses a paradigm shift from a reactive to a proactive diagnostic approach, aiming to detect disease before occurrence of symptoms. Topics covered include the use of sensing technologies (e.g. smartphones, smartwatches, Internet of Things) to detect early disease-related changes, the application of data science (machine learning/AI) to extract otherwise invisible disease features from these datasets and the potential to personalize diagnosis based on tracking changes in individual behaviours. Advances in blood-based biomarkers, brain imaging, and the potential for early diagnosis to aid interventions (lifestyle, dietary, pharmacological) to delay future development of dementia are also discussed.

Approximation Theory and Applications: Piecewise Linear and Generalized Functions presents the main provisions of approximation theory, and considers existing and new methods for approximating piecewise linear and generalized functions, widely used to solve problems related to mathematical modeling of systems, processes, and phenomena in fields ranging from engineering to economics. The widespread use of piecewise linear and generalized functions is explained by the simplicity of their structure. However, challenges often arise when constructing solutions over the entire domain of these functions, requiring the use special mathematical methods to put theory into practice. This book first offers a first full foundation in approximation theory as it relates to piecewise linear and generalized functions, followed by staged methods to resolve common problems in practice, with applications examined across structural mechanics, medicine, quantum theory, signal theory, semiconductor theory, mechanical engineering, heat engineering, and other fields. Later chapters consider numerical verification of approximation methods, and approximation theory as the basis for new macroeconomic theory with impulse and jump characteristics. Each chapter includes questions for review and sample problems, accompanied by a separate Solutions Manual hosted for instructor access.
