Traditional wisdom on how late industrialized countries follow the technology trajectories of preceding economies is in need of reformation as these countries have attained industrial leadership in a growing number of fields. However, current understandings about these countries' development of their emerging technologies have yet to investigate the divergence of idiosyncratic technology trajectories. The aim of this paper was to explore how their knowledge production strategies in emerging technology sectors are diverging. Specifically, this research examines the changing patterns of knowledge production in quantum technology in South Korea and China by developing a knowledge portfolio and knowledge strategic diagram. According to the knowledge portfolio, the relative literature position differs. In the knowledge strategic diagram, there are diverging patterns in the emerging keywords sector. This paper contributes to the literature by demonstrating the diverging strategies of late industrialized countries in their transition from catch-up to post-catch-up paradigms and provides policy implications for countries developing an idiosyncratic trajectory in emerging technology sectors.

Recently, much research is being conducted based on point cloud data for the growth of innovations such as construction automation in the transportation field and virtual national space. This data is often measured through remote control in terrain that is difficult for humans to access using devices such as UAVs and UGVs. Drones, one of the UAVs, are mainly used to acquire point cloud data, but photogrammetry using a vision camera, which takes a lot of time to create a point cloud map, is difficult to apply in construction sites where the terrain changes periodically and surveying is difficult. In this paper, we developed a point cloud mapping system by adopting non-repetitive scanning LiDAR and attempted to confirm improvements through field application. For accuracy analysis, a point cloud map was created through a 2 minute 40 second flight and about 30 seconds of software post-processing on a terrain measuring 144.5 × 138.8 m. As a result of comparing the actual measured distance for structures with an average of 4 m, an average error of 4.3 cm was recorded, confirming that the performance was within the error range applicable to the field.

The digital domain has witnessed unprecedented growth, reshaping the way we interact, work, and even perceive reality. The internet has evolved into a vast ecosystem of interconnected virtual worlds, giving birth to the concept of the Metaverse. The Metaverse, often envisioned as a collective virtual shared space, is created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and interactive digital spaces. Within this Metaverse space, the concept of ownership, identity, and authenticity takes on new dimensions, necessitating innovative solutions to safeguard individual rights. The digital transformation through Metaverse has also brought forth challenges, especially in copyright protection. As the lines between the virtual and physical blur, the traditional notions of ownership and rights are being tested. The Metaverse, with its multitude of user-generated content, poses unique challenges. The primary objective of this research is multifaceted. Firstly, there's a pressing need to understand the strategies employed by non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces within the Metaverse to strengthen security and prevent copyright violations. As these platforms become centers for digital transactions, ensuring the authenticity and security of each trade becomes paramount. Secondly, the study aims to delve deep into the foundational technologies underpinning NFTs, from the workings of blockchain to the mechanics of smart contracts, to understand how they collectively ensure copyright protection. Thus, in this paper, we propose a quantum based NFT solution that can secure Metaverse and copyright contents in an advanced manner.

We experimented on the sub 50nm patterning using E-beam lithography system. SAL601 negative E-beam resist was used for this experiment. In order to utilize the maximum ability of E-beam system, firstly, we reduced the PR thickness to 100nm, and the field size to 200 ${um}m$. Then PEB (Post Expose Bake) time/temperature, which is one of the very important factors when SAL601 is used, were reduced for minimum line width. In addition, digitizing is optimized for better results. Quantum wire and quantum dot which can be used for nanoscale memory device, such as single electron memory device, are fabricated using these developed lithography techniques.

UOV is one of the most important signature schemes in Multivariate Public Key Cryptography (MPKC). It has a strong security guarantee and is considered to be quantum-resistant. However, it suffers from large key size and its signing procedure is relatively slow. In this paper, we propose a new secure UOV variant (Circulant UOV) with shorter private key and higher signing efficiency. We estimate that the private key size of Circulant UOV is smaller by about 45% than that of the regular UOV and its signing speed is more than 14 times faster than that of the regular UOV. We also give a practical implementation on modern x64 CPU, which shows that Circulant UOV is comparable to many other signature schemes.

최근 양자컴퓨터의 개발로 공개키 암호 방식이 풀릴 수 있어 양자암호에 대한 연구가 활발해 지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지금까지 설명 된 양자암호의 개념과 양자키 분배 프로토콜에 대해 살펴보고, 더 나아가 양자암호 방식 이후의 포스트 양자암호 방식과 응용에 대해 살펴본다. 또한 화폐 위조 기술이 늘어나는 만큼 위조를 할 수 없는 양자 화폐에 대해 살펴본다. 이러한 양자암호에 대한 다방면의 연구는 기존의 공개키 암호 방식을 보완하거나 대체할 만한 강화되고 새로운 암호체계에 대한 연구의 좋은 시작이 될 것이다.

현재 양자컴퓨터 개발에 대한 전폭적인 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 지금의 양자컴퓨터의 개발수준은 기존 암호 시스템에 위협이 될 정도는 아니지만, 가까운 미래에 다가올 양자컴퓨터 시대에 대한 양자내성암호가 필요한 상황이다. 이에 양자내성암호 표준화를 위해 미국 NIST는 공모전을 열었고, 본 논문에서는 양자컴퓨터 개발현황과 NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) 양자내성암호 공모전의 암호알고리즘 설명과 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

Here we report an optimized hot-injection method and a phase transfer strategy for the synthesis of water-soluble $CuInS_2$ QDs with desired properties. The structure and morphology studies demonstrate that the resulting QDs are $CuInS_2$ tetragonal phase with well-defined facets. It is also found that the crystal size gradually increases with the increase of reaction temperature, while the surface of QDs with pre- and post-phase transfer is functionalized with hydrophobic and hydrophilic ligands, respectively. Spectroscopy measurements reveal the size-dependent optical properties of $CuInS_2$ QDs, demonstrating the quantum confinement effect in this system.

The expansion of smart cities drives the growth of data generated from sensor devices, benefitting citizens with enhanced governance, intelligent decision-making, optimized and sustainable management of available resources. The exposure of user data during its collection from sensors, storage in databases, and processing by artificial intelligence-based solutions presents significant security and privacy challenges. In this paper, we investigate the various threats and attacks affecting the growth of future smart cities and discuss the available countermeasures using artificial intelligence and blockchain-based solutions. Open challenges in existing literature due to the lack of countermeasures against quantum-inspired attacks are discussed, focusing on postquantum security solutions for resource-constrained sensor devices. Additionally, we discuss future research and challenges for the growing smart city environment and suggest possible solutions.
