The book discusses the foundations of intelligent quantum information processing applied to several real-life engineering problems, including intelligent quantum systems, intelligent quantum communication, intelligent process optimization, and intelligent quantum distributed networks. Quantum computer, as the name suggests, principally works on several quantum physical features. These could be used as an immense alternative to today’s apposite computers since they possess faster processing capability (even exponentially) than classical computers. The term “quantum computing” is fundamentally a synergistic combination of thoughts from quantum physics, classical information theory, and Computer Science. This volume aims to bring together recent advances and trends in the methodological approaches, theoretical studies, and mathematical and applied techniques related to intelligent quantum information processing and their applications to engineering problems. The scope of the book, in essence, is confined to but not bounded to introducing different novel hybrid quantum computational algorithms for addressing the limitations of the conventional information processing algorithms, including quantum machine learning, quantum key distribution, quantum information processing, quantum encryption algorithms, quantum networks, and quantum knowledge discovery in databases, to name a few.

The breadth of problems that can be solved with Data Science is astonishing, and this book provides the required tools and skills fot a broad audience. The reader takes a journey into the forms, uses, and abuses of data and models, and learns how to critically examine each step. Python coding and data analysis skills are built from the ground up, with no prior coding experience assumed. The necessary background in Computer Science, mathematics, and statistics is provided in an approachable manner. This text uses Python because it is one of the most popular languages for Data Science, it supports the tasks we need to accomplish, and it is relatively easy to learn. It will teach Python by diving into problems with data and solving challenges. It will not methodically catalog what each operator does, what each control structure looks like, and so forth. There are excellent references for learning in this way, with suggestions given later. Finally, the book includes many exercises across different topics, with the hope that they are interesting and motivating. Each step of the Machine Learning lifecycle is discussed, from business objective planning to monitoring a model in production. This end-to-end approach supplies the broad view necessary to sidestep many of the pitfalls that can sink a Data Science project.

Accessibility is a core quality of digital products to be deliberately addressed throughout the development lifecycle. What Every Engineer Should Know About Digital Accessibility will prepare readers to integrate digital accessibility into their engineering practices. Readers will learn how to accurately frame accessibility as an engineering challenge so they are able to address the correct problems in the correct way. Illustrated with diverse perspectives from accessibility practitioners and advocates, this book describes how people with disabilities use technology, the nature of accessibility barriers in the digital world, and the role of engineers in breaking down those barriers. Accessibility competence for current, emerging, and future technologies is addressed through a combination of guiding principles, core attributes and requirements, and accessibility‑informed engineering practices. This book spans a range of topics related to computer science, including software engineering, human–computer interaction, web and mobile application development, and product and project management. This is intentional. Accessibility considerations apply regardless of the role you might perform in a digital product development. Everyone has an opportunity to make informed decisions that help ensure that accessibility is a priority.
