This book serves as a comprehensive introduction to quantum computing platforms, inspired by recent advancements in quantum technologies aimed at detecting and manipulating single quantum objects. Encompassing solid-state, atomic, and optical platforms, it delves into various aspects of quantum computing, including topological quantum computing. The content covers the fabrication, modeling, and numerical implementation of quantum circuits, such as Josephson junctions and qubits, along with hybrid nanostructures. Additionally, the book introduces quantum entanglement, a crucial concept for quantum communication and information processes. The well-compiled topics and concise presentation position the book as a primer for courses on quantum technologies.

Based on the Judicial Transparency Index Assessment (2019 and 2020) conducted in China by the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, this book summarizes and analyzes the current situation of judicial openness in China, using a sample of 218 courts across the country for the study. The book analyzes the ideological and institutional origins of judicial openness and examines the operation of judicial openness through the practical experience of role replacement. By analyzing evaluation data in the fields of audit information disclosure, trial information disclosure, judicial enforcement data disclosure, and judicial reform data disclosure, the book points out that the current judicial disclosure has made significant progress, but there are still problems such as unclear disclosure standards, insufficient rigidity in disclosure requirements, and the scope of disclosure still needs to be expanded.The book recommends accelerating the disclosure of judicial legislation,
