Quantum Information Science - The Domain of Future Informatics Practice: Emphasizing Possibilities, Challenges and Academic Scenario

Abstract

‘Quantum’ - is one of the important and valuable names in the field of Physical Science. However, due to its importance and applications in several sectors or domains; it is treated as valuable Applied Science Field. Quantum in generally has important linkages with Physics and then Mathematics. The importance of Quantum in Computing developed a domain called Quantum Computing which is responsible for healthy and speedy Computing and Technological Science. Computing has an important relationship with Information Science. Information collection, selection, organization, processing and management and dissemination are the main roles of Information Science and for building and developing such information activities; computing tools play an important role. Thus, Quantum Computing is also helpful in better Information Science Practice and ultimately responsible for sophisticated Informatics practice. In this paper, Quantum Science and Information Science, and their integration role as Quantum Information Science; including its need, value and role are discussed and analyzed.
