Ambassador Amza received at the embassy copies of the two books namely “ Humanity’s Last Hope “ and “Ethics of Quantum of Computing” from the 17 years old author Sevin Aryan Fernando who was born in Colombo, and was moved to Saudi Arabia at the age of ten months.
He spent much of his education in Multinational School, Riyadh, where he enjoyed both an academic life and one involved in music, sports and writing, which grew with the publication of his first book – a space-travel science-fiction titled “Humanity’s Last Hope”. After achieving five Cambridge IGCSE awards, namely Top of the World in Mathematics and four Top in Saudi Arabia’s, he went on to Queen’s College, Taunton in the UK, where he now studies Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Computer Science for A Levels. There, he published his second book – a non-fiction research piece titled “Ethics of Quantum Computing”. Sevin currently has ambitions in the technology sector and hopes to pursue this ambition with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science in the UK.
“Ethics of Quantum Computing” is a non-fiction research piece that attempts to evaluate the threats that quantum computers pose to the fields of cybersecurity and finance in an actionable manner. Though this technology is as yet underdeveloped, its potential impacts include the collapse of encryption schemes (provided modern standards remain), the destabilisation of E-commerce, and the widening of the wealth-technology gap worldwide, leading to issues both local and geopolitical. Due to the topic’s breadth, the book hinges on identifying “Points of Residual Risk”, which are issues that have no obvious practical solutions or that involve parties with potentially conflicting interests. From here, each one is tacked individually, such that the complexities of their solutions can be gauged and ideas for action explored.
