Ao propôr-se a discutir e experimentar o noticiário sul-coreano OhmyNews International, a presente dissertação recorre a princípios da complexidade, à engenharia de software e aos valores do jornalismo tradicional – bem como ao seu histórico – para elaborar um entendimento inicial de jornalismo open source. As diretrizes propostas são aplicadas ao objeto empírico por meio de observação participante, análise descritiva e entrevistas com grupos de pessoas envolvidas em diferentes aspectos do projeto. O foco central desta dissertação é a interação dos diferentes públicos com a notícia em ambiente digital. / To discuss and experiment the South-Korean news project OhmyNews International, this research uses complexity principles, software engineering and traditional journalism values – as well as it historic – to compose an initial agreement about open source journalism. Routes purposed are applied to empiric object through participatory observation, descriptive analysis and interviews to groups involved in deferent ways with project. The main goal of this research is the interaction between different people with news on digital environment.

In principle a quantum system could be used to simulate another quantum system. The purpose of such a simulation would be to obtain information about problems which are difficult to simulate on a classical computer due to the exponential increase of the Hilbert space with the size of the system, and which cannot be readily measured or controlled in an experiment. A quantum simulator is, however, an open quantum system that will interact with the surrounding environment, which in this case are other particles in the system, and will be implemented using imperfect controls, making it subject to noise. It has been suggested that noise does not need to be controlled to the same extent as it must be for general quantum information processing. However, the effects of noise in quantum simulations are not well understood and how best to treat them in most cases is not known. In the present work we study an existing quantum algorithm for the simulation of the one-dimensional Fano-Anderson model. This algorithm was proposed for a liquid-state NMR device. We examine models of noise in the evolution using different initial states in the original model. We also add interacting spins to simulate realistic situation where an environment of spins is present. We find that states which are entangled with their environment, and sometimes correlated but not necessarily entangled have an evolution which is described by maps which are not completely positive. We discuss the conditions for this to occur and also the implications.
