Automatic Quantum Computer Programming: A Genetic Programming Approach

Automatic Quantum Computer Programming: A Genetic Programming Approach, 9780387364964 (038736496X), Springer, 2006

This is a book about the frontiers of computer science that have recently
been opened by work in quantum mechanics, but it is also a book
about the use of recently developed automatic programming technologies
to explore those frontiers. The automatic programming technologies
themselves issue from another interdisciplinary frontier of computer science
— one born of the intersection of computer science with evolutionary
biology. So this is a book about two frontiers of computer science,
one being used primarily for the sake of exploring the other.

The selection of topics in this book was made with the intention of
showing how genetic programming can be usefully applied to certain
problems in quantum computing. To this end, it provides a basic introduction
to quantum computing for non-physicists and it also provides a
basic introduction to genetic programming for non-computer-scientists.
These treatments should be comprehensible to scientifically literate readers
who have, at minimum, a passing familiarity with undergraduatelevel
computer science (e.g. programming concepts) and mathematics
(e.g. simple linear algebra). No background in physics is assumed.

Neither the introduction to quantum computing nor the introduction
to genetic programming is intended to be comprehensive or even "balanced."
Coverage of each field is limited to relatively narrow slices that
support the demonstrations found later in the book — those demonstrations
show how certain genetic programming techniques can be applied
to certain problems in quantum computing. Citations are provided
where appropriate to sources that provide more comprehensive and detailed
coverage.

The Microeconomics of Income Distribution Dynamics in East Asia and Latin America

Oxford University Press, 2004

Economists have had much to say about what causes aggregate economic growth, but they have been more reticent about the distributional dimension of that growth. Understanding development and the process of poverty reduction requires understanding not only how total income grows but also how its distribution behaves over time. This book is a major...
