Study Notes

Hybrid Cloud

Combines public and private cloud services
Allows businesses to transition to public cloud gradually
Useful for security and data protection needs

Community Cloud

Allows groups of organizations to share systems and services
A distributed system integrating different cloud services
Commonly managed by a third party or multiple organizations

Quantum Computing

Based on quantum theory for advanced computing
Uses qubits as the basic unit of information
Qubits can hold superposition of states (0 and 1 simultaneously)
Quantum mechanics drive calculations
Quantum is the smallest unit of physical properties
Quantum computers process based on object state probability
Power increases exponentially with more qubits

Quantum Simulation

Quantum computers excel at modeling other quantum systems
Handles complex quantum systems classical computers struggle with
Examples include photosynthesis, superconductivity, molecular formations

Cybersecurity and Quantum Computing

Quantum computing helps in developing cybersecurity techniques
Also aids in creating quantum cryptography
Cracking encryption is easier with quantum computing, posing a threat

Optimization

Finding the best solution to a problem given constraints
Used in science and industry for decisions based on cost, quality, and time
Quantum-inspired optimization algorithms find solutions for complex systems

Quantum Machine Learning

Classical machine learning is revolutionizing science/business
Quantum software can speed up machine learning model training

Augmented Reality (AR)

Combines digital data with real-time data
Markerless AR utilizes advancements in cameras, sensors, and AI
Four categories of markerless AR:
- Location-based AR: Ties augmentation to a location, uses data from smartphones (GPS, compass, accel)
- Projection-based AR: Projects 3D objects in a stationary context
- Superimposition AR: Partially or fully replaces original view of objects
- Outlining AR: Special cameras outline specified objects for human use (e.g., for car navigation)

Mixed Reality

Binds physical and digital worlds intuitively
Based on advances in computer vision, graphics, display, input, and cloud computing

Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)

Formalized term for rapid prototyping and 3D printing
3D CAD systems create models for direct fabrication
Eliminates process planning needed in traditional manufacturing
