We study a purely functional quantum extension of lambda calculus, that is, an extension of lambda calculus to express some quantum features, where the quantum memory is abstracted out. This calculus is a typed extension of the first-order linear-algebraic lambda-calculus. The type is linear on superpositions, so to forbid from cloning them, while allows to clone basis vectors. We provide examples of the Deutsch algorithm and the Teleportation, and prove the subject reduction of the calculus. In addition, we provide a denotational semantics where superposed types are interpreted as vector spaces and non-superposed types as their basis.
Cryptanalysis with a Quantum Computer - An Exposition on Shor's Factoring Alg...Daniel Hutama
Integer factorization is a problem that has been studied by mathematicians for centuries, but has yet to see an efficient classical solution. The apparent intractability of the factorization problem has become the cornerstone of several cryptosystems, such as the widely used RSA encryption scheme for securing financial transactions and communications.
In this presentation, we show an in-depth study of quantum circuit designs for a quantum computer running Shor's algorithm. In particular, we present a classical-based reversible quantum circuit design of Vedral et. al., and a Fourier space circuit designed by Draper and Beauregard. Included in the appendix are detailed descriptions of Shor's full algorithm and a fully worked (classically simulated) example for factoring a 5-bit semiprime number.
Readers should have a basic knowledge of quantum computing concepts, such as qubits, quantum logic gates, entanglement, and their mathematical descriptions.

Resource theory of asymmetric distinguishabilityMark Wilde
We systematically develop the resource-theoretic perspective on distinguishability. The theory is a resource theory of asymmetric distinguishability, given that approximation is allowed for the first quantum state in general transformation tasks. We introduce bits of asymmetric distinguishability as the basic currency in this resource theory, and we prove that it is a reversible resource theory in the asymptotic limit, with the quantum relative entropy being the fundamental rate of resource interconversion. We formally define the distillation and dilution tasks, and we find that the exact one-shot distillable distinguishability is equal to the min-relative entropy, the exact one-shot distinguishability cost is equal to the max-relative entropy, the approximate one-shot distillable distinguishability is equal to the smooth min-relative entropy, and the approximate one-shot distinguishability cost is equal to the smooth max-relative entropy. We also develop the resource theory of asymmetric distinguishability for quantum channels. For this setting, we prove that the exact distinguishability cost is equal to channel max-relative entropy and the distillable distinguishability is equal to the amortized channel relative entropy.
This Presentation covers most of VHDL designing basic from scratch.

Designing of 8 BIT Arithmetic and Logical Unit and implementing on Xilinx Ver...Rahul Borthakur
The main objective of this project was to design and verify different operations of Arithmetic and Logical Unit (ALU). To implement ALU, the coding was written in VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) and verified in ModelSim. The device was configured and using FPGA (Field-programmable gate array) verification, debugging was done.
A lot of data is best represented as time series: Operational data, financial data, and even in data warehouses the dominant dimension is often time. We present Chronix, a time series database based on Apache Solr and Spark which is able to handle trillions of time series data points and perform interactive queries. Chronix Spark is open source software and battle-proven at a German car manufacturer and an international telco.
We demonstrate several use cases of Chronix from real-life. Afterwards we lift the curtain and deep-dive into the Chronix architecture esp. how we're using Solr to store time series data and how we've hooked up Solr with Spark. We provide some benchmarks showing how Chronix has outperformed other time series databases in both performance and storage-efficiency.

Chronix Time Series Database - The New Time Series Kid on the BlockQAware GmbH
Apache Big Data Conference 2016, Vancouver BC: Talk by Florian Lautenschlager (@flolaut, Senior Software Engineer).
Abstract: There is a new open source time series database on the block that allows one to store billions of time series points and access them within a few milliseconds.
Chronix is a young but mature open source time series database that catches a compression rate of 98% compared to data in CSV files while an average query took 21 milliseconds. Chronix is built on top of Apache Solr, a bulletproof NoSQL database with impressive search capabilities. Chronix relies on Solr plugins and everyone who has a Solr running can create a new Chronix core within a few minutes.
In this presentation Florian shows how Chronix achieves its efficiency in both by means of an ideal chunking, by selecting the best compression technique, by enhancing the stored data with pre-computed attributes, and by specialized time series query functions.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
