Secrets of the Quantum Universe - A Journey Through the Quantum Realm

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the vast expanse of human knowledge, there lies a realm of mystery and wonder, a realm where the laws of physics as we know them cease to apply. This realm is the quantum world, a realm where particles behave in ways that defy our intuition and where the very nature of reality is called into question.

"Secrets of the Quantum Universe: A Journey Through the Quantum Realm" takes you on a captivating journey to explore this enigmatic realm, where the boundaries of science are pushed and the frontiers of human understanding are expanded. This comprehensive book delves into the depths of quantum mechanics, unraveling the mysteries that have puzzled scientists for generations.

With clear explanations and vivid illustrations, this book guides you through the fundamental principles that govern the quantum realm. You will encounter the uncertainty principle, the principle that states that the more precisely you know one property of a particle, the less precisely you can know its other properties. You will also explore the concept of quantum entanglement, the phenomenon where two particles can become so interconnected that they share the same fate, no matter how far apart they are.

Delve into the quantum world of particles and discover the elementary building blocks of the universe: quarks, leptons, and bosons. Explore the Standard Model of particle physics, the framework that describes the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe. Investigate the Higgs boson, the particle that gives mass to other particles, and unravel the mysteries of quantum fields, the fabric of the universe.

Venture into the quantum realm of waves and encounter the wave-particle duality of matter, the phenomenon where particles can also behave like waves. Investigate the double-slit experiment, the experiment that demonstrated the wave-like nature of light, and explore the concepts of quantum interference and quantum tunneling. Delve into the quantum vacuum, the energy that exists even in the absence of matter.

Explore the fascinating realm of quantum information and computation, where quantum bits, the building blocks of quantum information, and quantum entanglement, the key to quantum computing, reside. Discover the potential of quantum algorithms, which promise to revolutionize computation, and explore the possibilities of quantum cryptography, which offers unbreakable codes. Investigate quantum teleportation, the process of transporting information instantaneously over vast distances.

Finally, confront the enigma of quantum gravity, the elusive theory that seeks to unify the laws of quantum mechanics with the laws of gravity. Explore string theory, a candidate for quantum gravity that posits the existence of extra dimensions, and loop quantum gravity, an alternative approach that seeks to explain gravity as a network of interconnected loops. Investigate black holes, the cosmic entities that test the limits of quantum gravity, and delve into the mysteries of quantum cosmology, the study of the origin and fate of the universe.

We will learn cloud-specific strategies for securing platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and others. The book will help you implement data asset management, identity and access management, network security, vulnerability management, incident response, and compliance in your cloud environment. 
This book helps cybersecurity teams strengthen their security posture by mitigating cyber risk when "targets" shift to the cloud. The book will assist you in identifying security issues and show you how to achieve best-in-class cloud security. It also includes new cybersecurity best practices for daily, weekly, and monthly processes that you can combine with your other daily IT and security operations to meet NIST criteria. 
This book teaches how to leverage cloud computing by addressing the shared responsibility paradigm required to meet PCI-DSS, ISO 27001/2, and other standards. It will help you choose the right cloud security stack for your ecosystem. Moving forward, we will discuss the architecture and framework, building blocks of native cloud security controls, adoption of required security compliance, and the right culture to adopt this new paradigm shift in the ecosystem. 
Towards the end, we will talk about the maturity path of cloud security, along with recommendations and best practices relating to some real-life experiences.

Dream States - Smart Cities...

John Lorinc

WINNER OF THE 2022 WRITERS’ TRUST BALSILLIE PRIZE FOR PUBLIC POLICY
		 
Is the ‘smart city’ the utopia we’ve been waiting for?
		 
The promise of the so-called smart city has been at the forefront of urban planning and development since the early 2010s, and the tech industry that supplies smart city software and hardware is now worth hundreds of billions a year.
		 
But the ideas and approaches underpinning smart city tech raise tough and important questions about the future of urban communities, surveillance, automation, and public participation. The smart city era, moreover, belongs firmly in a longer historical narrative about cities — one defined by utopian ideologies, architectural visions, and technological fantasies.
		 
Smart streetlights, water and air quality tracking, autonomous vehicles: with examples from all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Portland, and Chicago, Dream States unpacks the world of smart city tech, but also situates this important shift in city-building into a broader story about why we still dream about perfect places.
		 
“John Lorinc’s incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations – from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools – only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life.” – Shauna Brail, University of Toronto
		 
“Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building.” – Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of Cities
		 
“Utopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams – clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes – into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.” – Anthony Townsend, Urbanist in Residence, Cornell Tech, author of Smart Cities

The Alien Perspective - A New...

David Whitehouse

Astronomer and science writer David Whitehouse takes us on a journey through the evolving cosmos as he considers humankind's place in the universe - and how our survival depends on otherworldly perspectives.

From the Earth to the depths of outer space, this inspiring book shows how human evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both for the universe and for ourselves.

Given enough time, Whitehouse contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say, Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in 2051.

Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story charts our future journey to the end of space and time and considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of it all.
