Quantum Technology and the Medical Librarian

Technology mediator: a new role for the reference librarian?

The Arizona Health Sciences Library has collaborated with clinical faculty to develop a federated search engine that is useful for meeting real-time clinical information needs. This article proposes a technology mediation role for the reference librarian that was inspired by the project, and describes the collaborative model used for developing technology-mediated services for targeted users.

Parallel Quantum Computation, the Library of Babel and Quantum Measurement as the Efficient Librarian

Why there is a quantum speed-up is considered to be an interesting open problem. This letter is an excerpt from the paper titled “Performing Quantum Measurement in Suitably Entangled States Originates the Quantum Computation Speed Up” [1]. That paper is rather lengthy, due to the need of checking that all types of quantum algorithms found so far obey the speed-up mechanism propounded. We shall ...

Application of quantum technology in radars

In this paper, the use of quantum technology in the radar system and the advantages of these radars as compared to classical radars have been analyzed. In the beginning, briefly, we present the basic structure of the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and then the role of photon in this theory and photon interactions is presented.  In the next step, the most general form of the quantum radar cr...

2. The Data Librarian: introducing the Data Librarian

This paper provides some initial considerations into the design and function of the Data Librarian. The first part (Liscouski, J., 1997, Journal of Automatic Chemistry, 19, 193-197) described the need for the Librarian.
