Law and Policy for the Quantum Age (out now as Open Access) is for readers interested in the political and business strategies underlying quantum sensing, computing, and communication. This work explains how these quantum technologies work, future national defense and legal landscapes for nations interested in strategic advantage, and paths to profit for companies. See […]
Read MoreThe past few years have witnessed some astounding advances in artificial intelligence, with high profile breakthroughs such as diagnostic software now in use and autonomously diagnosing disease, algorithms that can design new microchips better than teams of people, and machines that can write interesting articles. As AI continues to improve, it is going to take […]
Read MoreThe true power of classical computing was never fully realised until the emergence of the internet. The internet enables information to be a commodity whose market value drives technological advancement. Quantum computers operate according to entirely different principles in the way they process information, which in the future will enable forms of computation, which cannot be realised on conventional computers. This raises the immediate question “what if we start networking them together?”
Read MoreTalking to machines is becoming commonplace. We routinely tell our smart speakers what to play next, we tell our satnavs where we want to go, we ask our phones general knowledge questions, we dictate messages to friends directly from our smartwatches, and much more. Slowly but surely the conversational agents that recognise and respond to […]

Read MoreThere is no question that COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering around the globe. We have lost over one million humans to the pandemic. Some who have been infected have long-lasting and devastating symptoms. People have lost their jobs and some go hungry or don’t have a place to live. There has also been significant mental […]
Read MoreThe editors of Information Theoretic Perspectives on 5G Systems and Beyond discuss their new book which provides a detailed overview of the state-of-art approaches that led to realization of 5G.
Read MoreWhat inspired Bioinspired Structures and Design? This book was inspired by a course entitled “Bioinspired Structures” (16,982) that was taught by Prof. Leo Daniel at MIT. This highly successful course, which was posted on MIT’s open courseware, attracted the attention of Cambridge University Press, and led eventually to a contract with Cambridge University Press to […]
