The rapid proliferation of generative AI has fundamentally altered the landscape of introductory computer science education. Traditional methods that prioritize syntax memorization and writing code from scratch are challenged by tools that…

This volume contains the joint proceedings of IMPEX 2017, the first workshop on Handling IMPlicit and EXplicit knowledge in formal system development and FM&MDD, the second workshop on Formal and Model-Driven Techniques for Developing…

This paper investigates the mechanisms underlying scientific stratification in the era of transition from elite to mass science. Existing scholarship has largely examined scientific stratification through the Matthew effect framework at the…

We report on seven years of attitudinal data using the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey from University Modeling Instruction (UMI) sections of introductory physics at Florida International University. This work expands upon…

In this thesis I present a short review of ideas in quantum information theory. The first chapter contains introductory material, sketching the central ideas of probability and information theory. Quantum mechanics is presented at the level…

This is the first Internet course on elementary quantum mechanics written in Spanish ("castellano") for the benefit of Spanish speaking students. I thank my eight Mexican students at the Institute of Physics, University of Guanajuato, Leon,…

Paywalls, licenses and copyright rules often restrict the broad dissemination and reuse of scientific knowledge. We take the position that it is both legally and technically feasible to extract the scientific knowledge in scholarly texts.…

Quantum computing was once regarded as a mere theoretical possibility, but recent advances in engineering and materials science have brought practical quantum computers closer to reality. Currently, representatives from industry, academia,…

This is an expanded and revised text for a fifteen minute talk given at the University of Queensland Physics Camp, September 2000. The focus is on the goals and motivations for studying quantum information theory, rather than on technical…

Quantum computing is an emerging field with growing implications across science and industry, making early educational exposure increasingly important. This paper examines how quantum computing concepts can be introduced into high-school…

The vision of 2030STEM is to address systemic barriers in institutional structures and funding mechanisms required to achieve full inclusion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and accelerate leadership pathways for…

This guide is proposed as an operational instrument for CONFRASIE member universities (Regional Rectors' Conference of AUF member institutions in Pacific-Asia) in their projects to set up a blended learning system for bachelor's, Master's…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have the tendency to hallucinate, i.e., to sporadically generate false or fabricated information. This presents a major challenge, as hallucinations often appear highly convincing and users generally lack the…

This is the written version of a set of lectures on perturbative QCD that were delivered to a mixed audience of young theorists and experimentalists in the course of the XXII International Meeting on Fundamental Physics. These notes are…

The deployment of large language models (LLMs) faces considerable challenges concerning resource constraints and inference efficiency. Recent research has increasingly focused on smaller, task-specific models enhanced by distilling…

Quantum computing (QC) promises to be a transformative technology with impact on various application domains, such as optimization, cryptography, and material science. However, the technology has a sharp learning curve, and practical…

This paper is based on a course given by the author at the University of Rome ``La Sapienza'' in the Academic year 2000/2001. The intended aim of the course was to rapidly introduce, although not in an exhaustive way, the non-expert PhD…

We argue here for a more conceptual or qualitative approach in the introductory teaching of Quantum Physics which is built on the basis of epistemological and ontological discussions and as such is a valuable tool mainly in the initial and…

This paper gives an overview from the perspective of Lie group theory of some of the recent advances in the rapidly expanding research area of quantum entanglement. This paper is a written version of the last of eight one hour lectures…

Medical technologies, including quantum machine learning (QML) and quantum sensing, represent transformative tools for addressing some of the most pressing challenges in healthcare and drug discovery today. We discuss the ways that these…
