This paper addresses the problem of generation of true random numbers by using superposition of qubits in a quantum computer and its application in cryptography. We used QISKIT to create quantum circuits and executed those circuits on a publicly available IBM quantum computer to create an equal probability of getting all possible outcomes i.e. unbiased random output using a few limited random bits (qubits). Furthermore, we explain the physical and mathematical aspects of superposition and random number generation. The results of this study show that in theory, true random number generation is possible on quantum computers and has a lot of application in cryptography. In addition, we show how a truly random seed generated from one of the IBM quantum computers can be used to generate public and private encryption keys using RSA encryption.

The knowledge management as a key aspects of academic institutions and especially academic research; the study focuses on the issues related to academic research community. This is a Qualitative Descriptive Research; The research study includes 372 research scholars response through survey method to recognize their challenges problems and their requirements. The research outputs of academic institutes/universities are the major factor for measuring their quality standards. Institutions are now trying to enhance their research impact by various methods. The Research Scholars are facing challenges to provide quality output, so they need a common platform for discussing their queries, current status of the research, expert guidance, and for research collaboration. This study proposed a conceptual HOTS based Knowledge Management model for Research Community to implement in universities as a authorized KM System.

Universities are playing main role in research and socio-economic development of the country. The University research generates lot of research information and it is physically added in to libraries. The Research information should be easily available to new Researchers. Every research is generating new knowledge, and it's just kept in the form of thesis, dissertations, research papers, articles, etc. The enormous amount of research data exists in different geographical locations, which could not be investigated by researchers because research data is not available in a central location. The research community is facing lot of problems in sharing, searching and collecting required information and knowledge for their research. Due to these issues, researchers may do work of ‘reinventing a wheel'. This chapter puts a conceptual study for open source community to develop a Knowledge Management System for researchers. This study specifically focuses on Knowledge management approach and proposes the OS_KMS model for research community as an open source software.
