Quantum Computing: Pioneering the Future of Technology

Dr Rashmi Shekhar
(Assistant Director and
Associate Professor,AIIT)

Introduction
Quantum computing is making remarkable strides in 2024, with groundbreaking developments
that promise to revolutionize technology and various industries. This article delves into some of
the most significant recent advancements in the field, highlighting key achievements and
ongoing challenges.

Hardware Breakthroughs
A major milestone in quantum computing hardware is the creation of a modular, scalable
architecture. This new system allows for the efficient control of large arrays of qubits, essential
for developing practical quantum computers capable of handling complex computations.
Researchers are optimistic that this advancement will pave the way for more accessible and
powerful quantum systems soon (MIT News, 2024).
Another significant achievement is the record-setting development of atom-based quantum
computers, which have now reached 1,000 atomic qubits. This threshold is crucial because it
marks the point where quantum computers can begin to demonstrate their promised efficiency
over classical systems. Further research aims to increase this number to 10,000 qubits and
beyond, indicating a promising trajectory for the technology (Pause et al., 2024).

Software Innovations
IBM continues to lead in quantum computing software development with several noteworthy
advancements. The company has introduced new performance metrics, such as Error per Layer
Gate (EPLG), to provide a more accurate measure of quantum processor performance.
Additionally, IBM is preparing to release Qiskit 1.0, the first stable version of their quantum
software platform, which will include tools for integrating quantum and classical resources. This
integration is essential for practical applications of quantum computing (Quantum Computing
Report, 2024).

Addressing Challenges
Despite these advancements, the quantum computing field still faces significant challenges,
particularly concerning noise and error rates in quantum systems. Researchers are actively
working on methods to reduce errors and improve the coherence times of qubits. These
improvements are critical to making quantum computers reliable and scalable for real-world
applications (MIT News, 2024).

"Knowledge in IT is like a virus; the good kind spreads." 08

Here are some of the key challenges and possible approaches to address them
1. Qubit Stability and Coherence:
Challenge: Qubits, the basic units of quantum information, are highly susceptible to
environmental noise and decoherence, which can quickly destroy the information they hold.
Approach: Implementing error correction codes and developing more stable qubit systems,
such as topological qubits or improving superconducting qubit technology, can help increase
coherence times.
2. Scalability :
Challenge: Building a quantum computer with a large number of qubits that can perform
complex computations is extremely challenging.
Approach: Research into scalable architectures, such as modular quantum computers and
distributed quantum computing, where smaller quantum processors are networked together,
can address this issue.
3.Error Correction:
Challenge: Quantum error correction requires a significant overhead of physical qubits to
protect the logical qubits, making it resource-intensive.
Approach: Developing more efficient error correction codes and fault-tolerant quantum
computing techniques can help mitigate this challenge.
4. Quantum Algorithms:
Challenge: Designing quantum algorithms that can outperform classical algorithms for
practical problems is non-trivial.
Approach: Continuous research into quantum algorithm development, focusing on areas such
as optimization, cryptography, and material science, can expand the range of applications for
quantum computing.
5. Hardware Development:
Challenge: Quantum computers require highly specialized hardware, including dilution
refrigerators for superconducting qubits and vacuum systems for ion traps.
Approach: Innovations in quantum hardware design and engineering, alongside advances in
materials science, can improve the practicality and cost-effectiveness of quantum computers.

Prospects
The future of quantum computing looks promising, with ongoing research and development
poised to overcome current limitations. As quantum technology advances, it is expected to
have profound impacts on various fields, including cryptography, material science, and
artificial intelligence. The potential for quantum computing to solve problems that are currently
intractable for classical computers makes it one of the most exciting areas of technological
innovation today.

"The Dark Side of AI: Understanding the Impact of Deepfakes"

Prof. Prasanna Kumar,

(Program Leader &
Assistant Professor, AIIT)

A deepfake is an artificial intelligence-generated or -manipulated media piece that presents a

person in the media as someone else. It may include working with an image, a video, an audio
track, or any combination of them. The term "deepfake" combines the terms "deep learning" and
"fake."

Currently available state-of-the-art deepfake AI is driven by two competing machine learning

models. In order to produce new media or alter an already-existing one, the "generator" algorithm is
trained using sample audio, video, and/or graphics. The goal is to produce a final product that as
nearly resembles the samples as possible.

In the meantime, the "discriminator" algorithm is trained to identify unique characteristics in the
samples and identify instances when the "generator" fails to include them, allowing it to go back
and fix those discrepancies.
This is known as a generative adversarial network, or GAN. Basically, it works like this:

The algorithms for the generator and discriminator examine information from media samples.
The generator produces (or modifies) media in order to approximate the samples as closely as
possible. This is how the deepfake started.
The discriminator looks for discrepancies in the deepfake and the samples.
The generator sends the deepfake back to the discriminator after correcting any discrepancies
the discriminator discovered.
Continue with steps 3 and 4 until the discriminator is unable to identify any more discrepancies.

Through this process, the generator is eventually able to produce or alter media with such
accuracy that it is difficult for either artificial intelligence or human intelligence to distinguish
between a deepfake and the real media it is based on.

"Data is the new currency, and algorithms are its bankers."

 Deepfake Abuses: How Criminals Use Deepfake Tech

Deepfake Fraud

A criminal can utilize deepfakes to construct false ID credentials that are very difficult to identify
as counterfeit if they manage to obtain sufficient samples of a person's appearance and voice
along with their sensitive personal information.

Celebrity Deepfakes

When the person who created the deepfake modifies graphic pictures, audio, and/or video to
give the impression that a famous person is having sex. This is illegal in many locations and can
lead to shame and reputational harm.

How to counteract misinformation created by AI

Take note of the face. Facial alterations are almost always the focus of high-end DeepFake
manipulations.
Take note of the forehead and cheekbones. Is the skin too wrinkled or too smooth? Is the age of
the skin the same as the age of the eyes and hair? It's possible that DeepFakes are inconsistent
in some ways.
Take note of the eyebrows and eyes. Do you see shadows where you would expect them to? It's
possible that DeepFakes don't accurately capture the physics of a scene.
Take note of the eyewear. Is there a glare? Is the glare excessive? Does the person's movement
affect the glare's angle? Once more, it's possible that DeepFakes fall short of accurately
capturing the physics of light.
Take note of the presence—or absence—of facial hair. Does this seem like actual face hair? A
mustache, sideburns, or beard may be added or removed by DeepFakes. On the other hand,
facial hair alterations may not look entirely realistic using DeepFakes.
Be mindful of any facial moles. Does the mole appear genuine?
Observe how your eyes flicker. Is the blink rate adequate or excessive?
Observe the way the lips move. There are deepfakes that rely on lip syncing. Are the lip motions
realistic-looking?

Beyond Code: The Vital Role of Innovation and Critical Thinking

in the Age of Imagination

Prof. Dheeraj Kumar

(Assistant Professor, AIIT)

In an era dominated by technology and digital transformation, coding has often been heralded
as the quintessential skill of the future. While coding undoubtedly plays a crucial role in the
development of software and digital solutions, it is important to recognize that the true essence of
progress lies beyond the lines of code. Innovation and critical thinking are increasingly becoming
the cornerstones of impactful change, and imagination remains a more powerful tool than mere
knowledge accumulation. This article explores why fostering these qualities is essential in our
rapidly evolving world.

The Limits of Coding Alone

Coding, at its core, is a technical skill that enables the translation of ideas into executable
programs. It is a valuable tool for building software, automating processes, and solving specific
problems. However, coding alone does not encompass the broader spectrum of skills needed to
navigate complex, real-world challenges. The ability to write code is only part of the equation;
understanding *why* and *how* to apply this code effectively in various contexts is equally, if not
more, important.
As technology advances, the focus is shifting from simply knowing how to code to understanding
the larger implications of technology in society. This shift necessitates a broader set of
competencies, including the capacity to think critically about the ethical, social, and economic
impacts of technological solutions.

The Power of Innovation

Innovation is the driving force behind meaningful advancements in any field. It involves the
creation of new ideas, products, or processes that bring about significant change. While coding
can facilitate the implementation of these ideas, it is innovation that sparks their inception.
Innovators are not limited by existing knowledge or conventional thinking; they envision new
possibilities and take bold steps to make them a reality.
In the realm of entrepreneurship and business, innovation is often the differentiating factor
between success and stagnation. Companies that prioritize innovative thinking are more likely to
develop unique value propositions, disrupt traditional markets, and stay ahead of competitors.
This requires a mindset that goes beyond technical skills, emphasizing creativity, adaptability,
and a willingness to challenge the status quo.

"The digital age rewrites its own rules every day." 12

 The Importance of Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is the ability to analyze and evaluate information, arguments, and evidence in a
logical and systematic manner. It is an essential skill for problem-solving and decision-making,
particularly in complex and uncertain situations. In the context of technology and coding, critical
thinking enables individuals to assess the validity of different approaches, identify potential risks,
and make informed choices.
Moreover, critical thinking is crucial for navigating the ethical and societal implications of
technology. As we develop increasingly sophisticated systems, from artificial intelligence to
blockchain, it is essential to critically examine their potential impact on privacy, security, and
equity. By fostering a culture of critical thinking, we can ensure that technological advancements
are aligned with broader societal goals and values.

Imagination: The Ultimate Catalyst

At the heart of both innovation and critical thinking lies imagination. Imagination allows us to see
beyond the present and envision a future that does not yet exist. It empowers us to question
existing paradigms and explore new possibilities. Albert Einstein's assertion that "imagination is
more important than knowledge" highlights the transformative power of creative thinking.
Knowledge provides a foundation, but it is imagination that pushes boundaries and leads to
groundbreaking discoveries.
In education and professional development, there should be a strong emphasis on cultivating
imagination alongside technical skills. Encouraging individuals to think creatively and explore
"what if" scenarios can lead to more innovative solutions and a deeper understanding of
complex problems.

Conclusion
While coding remains an essential skill in the digital age, it is innovation and critical thinking that
truly drive progress and address the multifaceted challenges of our time. Imagination, as a
catalyst for these qualities, holds the key to unlocking new possibilities and shaping a better
future. By prioritizing these attributes, we can go beyond the technical and embrace a holistic
approach to problem-solving and advancement. In the end, it is not just about the code we
write, but the visionary ideas we conceive and the thoughtful decisions we make that will define
our impact on the world.

Literature face à ChatGPT: Un phénomène déjà-vu

Dr. Sushant Kr Dubey

(Assistant Professor, AIIT)

The concepts and methods of ChatGPT are nourished by an imagination that comes from
literature, science fiction in particular. One discovers this facet while turning the pages of literary
works through the passage of time. In Stanislaw Lem's novels, the texts are full of androids,
thinking machines that are increasingly anthropomorphic: science itself invents, and for that, it
needs a reservoir of imagination that comes from the arts, from literature. There are also many
novels that talk about AI, such as Philippe Vasset's Exemplaire de Demonstration (Fayard, 2003),
whose main character is a text generator. The question that arises here is how literature will
survive in the age of electronically production of creative works? What would be the role of
literary writers face à ChatGPT? How to determine the authenticity of works? The hard work put
in by the writers in writing literary works will have the same weightage in the era of ChatGPT?

It is interesting to observe how writers can use AI for the production of literary works, which is
already found in Gulliver's Travels where one comes across a wooden machine that tells stories.
In the 60s, the first machines to automatically generate texts were developed, like that of Theo
Lutz, operating on models on the principle of combinatorics. With Kafka's words and syntactic
patterns, the machine creates sentences that are a bit like those of Kafka. There is also a group
derived from Oulipo, the Alamo, in the 80s, which developed litteraciels, that is to say software to
produce literature. What AI does today does not fall from the sky, there is a whole history of the
electronic and then computer generation of text.

I will discuss the possible or already effective impact of AI on the different professions
connected with book, particularly on authors. AI is widely used by booksellers; they are offered
algorithms for prescribing books according to the preferences and demands of customers,
which is a real threat to their profession. The machine offers them what they already like, which
is good for sales, but it is toxic for discovery. The principle of AI is a principle of probability, it
does not invent anything. The system is the same as on commercial sites where you are
suggested what people have bought while consulting a particular article. AI browses this data
and transforms it into probabilistic scenarios.

There will certainly be authors who have done nothing of what the machine has provided, which
reinforces my idea that literary creation is an essentially human affair, and that at best, the
machine only brings out banalities, stereotypes. We may also have writers who will find
interesting what has been proposed, even if it means affirming that they are ready to take
responsibility for and sign this text. I believe that the most frequent case will concern authors
who have eliminated a lot of data provided by ChatGPT, some of which may have given them
ideas, and the machine is a factor of serendipity that makes the writer bounce back.

"Patience is a programmer’s best friend." 14

The idea of this experiment is to touch what we all have a little in mind, which fascinates and
terrifies us, that is to say that the machine has a creative potential that could eventually
dispossess humans of their own creativity, considered to be the property of humans. However, it
is necessary to make the general public understand that everything is a business, between
humans and machines, of interference. We imagine that it is humans who requisition the
machine to make it work for them, but it is the opposite; it is indeed humans who are put in a
position of responsibility. It is up to humans to specify what they expect from the machine, by
refining their question. If you ask them to write a two-page short story, the feedback from
ChatGPT will be very poor, and almost the same for users. On the other hand, the result will
depend on the quality of the query submitted, namely the prompt. We can see the emergence
of the notion of prompt poetry very recently: there is a purely human inventiveness in the writing
of the order addressed. In this case, the machine stimulates human invention.

Furthermore, when faced with the results proposed by the machine, it is up to the human to
decide what to keep or not, so he is fully responsible for what he does. Consumer AIs only
reproduce their learning corpus, they were not designed to make literature.

We can consider an initial opportunistic use, driven by a possible requirement for productivity
gains from publishers who will turn to the machine to produce texts that would cost less than if
they had to solicit an author who has their own moods, their own requirements. This logic is
already at work in the online press where robots produce stock market and weather reports. The
machine takes over from man in editorial activities, for much formatted, limited texts, and
without any pretension of inventiveness. Perhaps soon what Antoine Belle describes in his novel
Ada will become possible and we will have automatic generators of romantic novels, like
Harlequins, based on specifications. This type of text is very prescriptive, responding to a
formatted specification and in the long term, its authors could be threatened.

A second use of AI by the writer could take him where he did not plan to go. We are in an
experimental approach that has no economic profitability. I will mention in my article the book
Internes by Grégory Chatonsky, presented by its author as the first novel co-written with an AI. It
is interesting because we no longer know who is speaking, the human or the machine; the
enunciation is very strange, and quite exhausting to read. We must keep in mind that even
before all these artificial intelligence tools are made available, the writer is never the sole
master on board, he works with his literary models, with the anticipation he has of what can be
readable or not, and AI is never anything more than an agency that is added to the other flows
that cross the writer.

The law is evolving on these issues, and publishers are increasingly thinking with lawyers about
including AI in the contracts they sign with authors, to declare or not its use. There will soon be
an obligation for AI designers to declare which corporate they have requested, because there is
an intellectual property problem that arises. These are very urgent questions and we cannot
remain in the current grey area. Perhaps some publishers will ban AI, perhaps its use will reduce
sales if it is explicit, or perhaps it will arouse curiosity... Need to observe!

audience, including those who may not be familiar with its traditional interpretations or who
seek a modern approach to understanding its teachings.
Support for Diverse Learners: The tool supports various learning styles and levels of
knowledge, from beginners seeking basic explanations to advanced practitioners exploring
intricate philosophical concepts.
Promotion of Spiritual Exploration: By providing easy-to-understand insights into the
Bhagavad Gita, Gita GPT encourages personal and spiritual exploration, helping individuals
connect with the text's profound teachings in a meaningful way.
Challenges and Considerations:
Accuracy and Interpretation: While Gita GPT aims to provide accurate and insightful
interpretations, the complexity and depth of the Bhagavad Gita may pose challenges for AI
in fully capturing the nuances of the text. Users should be aware of the potential limitations
and cross-reference with traditional sources or expert interpretations.
Ethical Use: The deployment of AI in religious and spiritual contexts requires careful
consideration of ethical implications. Ensuring that Gita GPT is used respectfully and in
alignment with the values of the Bhagavad Gita is essential to maintain the integrity of its
teachings.
Future Directions:
Continuous Improvement: Ongoing advancements in AI and NLP technology will contribute
to refining Gita GPT’s capabilities, enhancing its accuracy and relevance in interpreting the
Bhagavad Gita.
Integration with Other Tools: Future developments may include integrating Gita GPT with
other educational resources and platforms to provide a more comprehensive and
interactive learning experience.

In summary, Gita GPT represents a significant leap in applying modern AI technology to the
study of ancient texts. By providing accessible, personalized, and interactive interpretations of
the Bhagavad Gita, it serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking to explore and
understand this revered scripture.

Online Predation: Exploring the Threats and Vulnerabilities Faced by

Women in Social Engineering

Author: Vikas Kumar

In an technology characterised with the aid of using unparalleled virtual connectivity and
technological advancement, the limits among the bodily and digital worlds maintain to blur.
The internet, as soon as hailed as a beacon of empowerment and democratization, has now
emerged as a battleground fraught with dangers and vulnerabilities, especially for girls. In this
problematic virtual panorama, wherein anonymity reigns best and limitations are ephemeral,
the phenomenon of on-line predation looms large, casting a shadow over the promise of
virtual empowerment.
The genesis of on-line predation lies within side the realm of social engineering, a complicated
shape of manipulation that exploits human psychology and agree with to misinform people
into divulging touchy facts or acting movements that advantage the perpetrator. From
phishing emails and pretexting to extra complicated schemes of emotional manipulation and
gaslighting, social engineers wield an arsenal of methods designed to take advantage of
vulnerabilities and undermine the very cloth of agree with that binds groups together.
Yet, the effect of on-line predation isn't felt uniformly throughout society. Rather, it's far
fashioned and exacerbated with the aid of using current electricity dynamics, societal norms,
and gendered expectancies that permeate each aspect of our virtual interactions.
Women, in particular, locate themselves on the intersection of more than one axes of
oppression, navigating a virtual panorama fraught with peril and uncertainty. Central to our
inquiry is the popularity of on-line predation as a manifestation of broader styles of gender-
primarily based totally violence and discrimination. From the phenomenon of cat fishing and
grooming to the insidious methods of gas lighting and emotional manipulation, girls are
disproportionately focused and exploited in virtual areas, their voices silenced and
organization undermined.
Yet, amidst the darkness, there exists a glimmer of hope—a collective name to motion to
reclaim the virtual realm and make certain that it stays a safe, inclusive, and empowering area
for all. By dropping mild at the gendered dimensions of on-line predation and offering
techniques for empowerment, this paper seeks to catalyze a paradigm shift in our technique
to virtual protection and security. Through awareness, education, and collaboration, we will
forge a course toward a destiny wherein girls can navigate virtual areas with confidence,
resilience, and organization.

My experience at Amity University Patna while pursuing my MCA has been truly enriching. The university provided a conducive environment
for learning with its well-equipped classrooms and state-of-the-art facilities. The faculty members were highly knowledgeable and
supportive, always willing to guide and mentor us. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering both theoretical knowledge and practical
skills, which prepared me well for the challenges in the IT industry. Amity University Patna also emphasized holistic development, encouraging
participation in extracurricular activities and events that helped in building my confidence and leadership skills. I am grateful for the wonderful
academic journey and the valuable experiences I gained during my time at Amity University Patna."
