A Guiding Principle for Quantum State Discrimination in the Real-Spectrum Phase of -Pseudo-Hermitian Systems.

Quantum state discrimination (QSD) is a fundamental task in quantum information processing, improving the computation efficiency and communication security. Non-Hermitian (NH) PT-symmetric systems were found to be able to discriminate two quantum states better than the Hermitian strategy. In this work, we propose a QSD approach based on -pseudo-Hermitian systems with real spectra.

Qu-shi-hua-tan decoction's efficacy and safety for patients with angina following coronary revascularization: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial study protocol.

Introduction: The Qu-shi-hua-tan decoction (QSHTD), formulated by academician Chen Keji, is an empirical decoction for coronary heart disease (CHD). We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness and safety of QSHTD in managing angina after coronary revascularization (AACR) in CHD patients.

Methods And Design: This double-blind randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Elevated body roundness index increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in Chinese patients with circadian syndrome.

Objective: The body roundness index (BRI) and circadian syndrome (CircS) are considered new risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet it remains uncertain whether elevated BRI is associated with CVD incidence in CircS patients. In this study, we investigated the association between BRI and CVD occurrence among CircS participants.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 8,888 participants aged ≥45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS 2011-2020 wave).

Quantum Multi-Round Resonant Transition Algorithm.

Solving the eigenproblems of Hermitian matrices is a significant problem in many fields. The quantum resonant transition (QRT) algorithm has been proposed and demonstrated to solve this problem using quantum devices. To better realize the capabilities of the QRT with recent quantum devices, we improve this algorithm and develop a new procedure to reduce the time complexity.

Efficient Quantum Simulation of an Anti--Pseudo-Hermitian Two-Level System.

Besides Hermitian systems, quantum simulation has become a strong tool to investigate non-Hermitian systems, such as PT-symmetric, anti-PT-symmetric, and pseudo-Hermitian systems. In this work, we theoretically investigate quantum simulation of an anti--pseudo-Hermitian two-level system in different dimensional Hilbert spaces. In an arbitrary phase, we find that six dimensions are the minimum to construct the anti--pseudo-Hermitian two-level subsystem, and it has a higher success probability than using eight dimensions.

Manipulation of optomechanically induced transparency and absorption by indirectly coupling to an auxiliary cavity mode.

We theoretically study the optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) and absorption (OMIA) phenomena in a single microcavity optomechanical system, assisted by an indirectly coupled auxiliary cavity mode. We show that the interference effect between the two optical modes plays an important role and can be used to control the multiple-pathway induced destructive or constructive interference effect. The three-pathway interference could induce an absorption dip within the transparent window in the red sideband driving regime, while we can switch back and forth between OMIT and OMIA with the four-pathway interference.

The positive feedback loop FOXO3/CASC11/miR-498 promotes the tumorigenesis of non-small cell lung cancer.

An increasing number of studies have indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, there are still numerous undiscovered mechanisms underlying this molecular regulation. Here, the results illustrated that CASC11 is overexpressed in NSCLC tumor tissues and cell lines, which is closely related to the clinical features of NSCLC and poor survival.
