In this paper, we present a skipping method of transformation and quantization process using skip blocks estimation in fast H.264 video encoder. In order to reduce the complexity, we estimate skip mode blocks using integer discrete cosine transform and quantization and a skipping condition is derived by the analysis of those processes. The experimental result show that the proposed algorithm has effective estimations.

This paper has derived the conversion loss according to the synchronized condition between the transmitted and locally generated spreading signals for the civil global positioning system (GPS) receiver in the heavy wideband Gaussian noise environments. From this, the outputs of the 2-bit nonuniform quantizer, which has the minimum conversion loss, is set to ${\pm}1$ and ${\pm}2$, while the quantization step size is approximated to the jamming-to-signal power ratio.

일반적으로 운송 컨테이너의 식별자들은 크기나 위치가 정형화되어 있지 않고 외부 환경으로 인한 식별자의 형태가 훼손되어 있기 때문에 일정한 규칙으로는 찾기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 컨테이너 영상에 대해 ART2 알고리즘을 적용하여 컨테이너 영상을 양자화한다. 제안된 ART2 알고리즘 기반 양자화 기법은 컬러정보를 클러스터링 한 후, 각 클러스터의 중심 패턴을 이용하여 원 영상의 컬러정보를 분류한다. 양자화된 컨테이너 영상에서 8 방향 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 적용하여 개별 식별자를 추출한다. 추출된 개별 식별자는 ART2 기반 RBF 네트워크를 개선하여 인식에 적용한다. 실제 컨테이너 영상 300장에 대해 실험한 결과, 제안한 컨테이너 식별자 인식 방법의 추출 및 인식 성능이 기존의 컨테이너 식별자 인식 방법 보다 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

In this research, policies, and technology trends associated with quantum computers were examined, and through this, implications for domestic methods were derived. It is not a guarantee that developing quantum computing technology suited for domestic use would be successful to emulate the success stories of technology-leading nations. Technology leaders like the United States, China, and Europe are putting together strategic technology blocks to compete for technological hegemony. Adapting to and exploiting this trend will help us develop future technologies and secure market competitiveness. The dominant technology in the area of quantum computing has not yet been established. In the future, there will be fair competition in every specific technology area. At this point, it may be claimed that making audacious decisions will still lead to technological superiority.

In this paper, we would like to introduce the basic concepts of quantum key distribution techniques so far and the problems that need to be technically advanced. Quantum key distribution technology is a technology that generates non-tapable encryption keys and distributes them to both sender and receiver using the characteristics of Quantum, which is the minimum unit of physical quantity that can no longer be split. We would like to introduce BB84 protocol, a representative protocol of this technology, to explore realistic difficulties and future challenges.

InP 기판위에 자발성장법으로 성장된 InAs 양자점은 $1.55{\mu}m$ 영역에서 발진하는 양자점 반도체 레이저 다이오드 및 광 증폭기를 제작할 수 있기 때문에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 광통신 대역의 $1.55{\mu}m$ 반도체 레이저 다이오드 및 광 증폭기 분야에서 InAs/InP 양자점이 많은 관심을 받고 있으나, InAs/GaAs 양자점에 비해 제작이 어려운 단점을 가지고 있다. InAs/InP 양자점은 InAs/GaAs 양자점에 비해 격자 불일치가 작아 양자점의 크기가 크고 특히 As 계 박막과 P 계박막의 계면에서 V 족 원소 교환 반응으로 계면 특성 저하가 발생하여 성장이 까다롭다. As 과 P 간의 교환반응은 성장온도와 V/III 에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되었다. 그러나, P계 InGaAsP 박막 위에 InAs 성장 시 발생하는 As/P 교환반응에 대한 연구는 매우 적다. 본 연구에서는 InGaAsP 박막 위에 InAs 양자점 성장 시 GI (growth interruption)에 의한 As/P 교환반응이 InAs 양자점의 형상 및 광학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 시료는 수직형 저압 Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD)를 이용하여 $520^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 성장하였다. 그림1(a) 구조의 양자점은 InP (100) 기판위에 InP buffer layer를 성장한 후 InP와 격자상수가 일치하는 $1.1{\mu}m$ 파장의 InGaAsP barrier를 50 nm 성장하였다. 그 후 As 분위기 하에서 다양한 GI 시간을 주었고 그 위에 InAs 양자점을 성장하였다. 양자점 성장 후 InGaAsP barrier를 50 nm, InP capping layer를 50 nm 성장하였다. AFM측정을 위해 InP capping layer 위에 동일한 GI 조건의 InAs/InGaAsP 양자점을 성장하였고 양자점 성장 후 As분위기 하에 온도를 내려주었다. 그림1(b) 구조의 양자점은 그림1(a) 와 모든 조건은 동일하나 InAs 양자점과 InGaAsP barrier 사이에 GaAs 2ML를 삽입한 구조이다. 양자점 형상 특성 평가는 Atomic force microscopy를 이용하였으며, 광특성 분석은 Photoluminescence를 이용하였다.

Single photon detector technologies have emerged as powerful tools in optical quantum information applications such as quantum communication, quantum information, and integrated quantum photonics. Owing to significant attempts in the previous decade at improving photon-counting detectors, several single photon detectors with high efficiency and low noise have been realized within the optical wavelength regime. In this paper, we provide an overview of current studies on single photon detectors operating at wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the infrared. In addition, we discuss applications of single photon detector technologies in quantum communication and integrated quantum photonics.

As the IoT (Internet of Things) era is activated, a lot of information including personal information is being transmitted through IoT devices. For information protection, it is important to perform cryptography communication, and it is required to use a lightweight security protocol due to performance limitations. Currently, most of the encryption methods used in the security protocol use RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). However, if a high performance quantum computer is developed and the Shor algorithm is used, it can no longer be used because it can easily solve the stability problems based on the previous RSA and ECC. Therefore, in this paper, we designed a security protocol that is resistant to the computational power of quantum computers. The code-based crypto ROLLO, which is undergoing the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) post quantum cryptography standardization, was used, and a hash and XOR computation with low computational consumption were used for mutual communication between IoT devices. Finally, a comparative analysis and safety analysis of the proposed protocol and the existing protocol were performed.

Recently most of functional synthesis methods for quantum circuit realization have a tendency to adopt the declarative functional expression more suitable for computer algorithms, so it's difficult to analysis synthesized quantum functions. This paper presents a new functional representation of quantum circuits compatible with simple architecture and intuitive thinking. The proposal of this paper is a new functional synthesis development by using the control functions as the power of corresponding to affine-controlled quantum gates based on the mathematical substitution of serial-product matrix operation over the target line for the arithmetic and modulo-2 ones between power functions of unitary operators. The functional synthesis algorithm proposed in this paper is useful for the functional expressions and synthesis using both of reversible and irreversible affine-controlled NCV-quantum gates.

Vector quantizer (VQ) is an efficient data compression technique for low bit rate applications. However, the major disadvantage of VQ is its encoding complexity which increases dramatically as the vector dimension and bit rate increase. Even though one can use a modified VQ to reduce the encoding complexity, it is nearly impossible to implement such a VQ at a high bit rate or for a large vector dimension because of the enormously large memory requirement for the codebook and the very large training sequence (TS) size. To overcome this difficulty, in this paper we propose a novel structurally constrained VQ for the high bit rate and the large vector dimension cases in order to obtain VQ-level performance. Furthermore, this VQ can be extended to the low bit rate applications. The proposed quantization scheme has a form of feed-forward adaptive quantizer with a short adaptation period. Hence, we call this quantization scheme sample-adaptive product quantizer (SAPQ). SAPQ can provide a 2 ~3dB improvement over the Lloyd-Max scalar quantizers.
