The study of amplitude and phase relaxation impact on the quality of quantum information technologies
The influence of amplitude and phase relaxation on evolution of quantum
states within the formalism of quantum operations is considered. The model of
polarizing qubits where noises are determined by the existence of spectral
degree of freedom that shows up during the light propagation inside anisotropic
mediums with dispersion is studied. Approximate analytic model for calculation
of phase plate impact on polarizing state with dispersion influence taken into
consideration is suggested.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, report for the International Symposium "Quantum

Numerical and analytical research of the impact of decoherence on quantum circuits
Three different levels of noisy quantum schemes modeling are considered:
vectors, density matrices and Choi-Jamiolkowski related states. The
implementations for personal computers and supercomputers are described, and
the corresponding results are shown. For the level of density matrices, we
present the technique of the fixed rank approximation and show some analytical
estimates of the fidelity level.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, report for the International Symposium "Quantum

Diabetes mellitus and long-time outcomes of autovenous femoro-popliteal bypass
BACKGROUND: the effect of diabetes mellitus on the long-term patency of autovenous femoro-popliteal bypass has not been definitively determined AIM: to determine the effect of diabetes mellitus on the long-term outcomes of autovenous femoral-popliteal bypass.MATERIALS AND METHODS: the results of treatment of 648 patients who underwent autovenous femoral-popliteal bypass were analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 clinical groups: the first group included 367 patients with diabetes mellitus, the second — 281 patients without the named disease. The groups did not differ significantly in the incidence of concomitant pathology.RESULTS: occlusion of the autovenous conduit within a 5-year period after surgical treatment was observed in 218 patients of the first group (59.4%) and 72 patients of the second group (25.6%) (p <0.01, χ2 = 39.05, RR = 1.78; CI = 1.53–2.12). The average service life of the autovenous femoral-popliteal bypass was 63.49 months in patients of the first group, and 107.46 months in the second. The decompensated course of diabetes mellitus was observed in 203 patients (55.2%). Among patients with decompensated diabetes mellitus, occlusion of the autovenous femoral-popliteal bypass was observed in 95 patients (46.8%), in 104 patients the autovenous conduit was passable (51.2%; p = 0.449, χ2 = 0.57). Decompensated course of diabetes mellitus may contribute to a decrease in the service life of autovenous femoro-popliteal bypass.CONCLUSION: the presence of diabetes mellitus, and especially its decompensated course, can negatively affect the patency of autovenous femoro-popliteal bypass in the long term
Fast reconstruction of programmable integrated interferometers
Programmable linear optical interferometers are important for classical and
quantum information technologies, as well as for building hardware-accelerated
artificial neural networks. Recent results showed the possibility of
constructing optical interferometers that could implement arbitrary
transformations of input fields even in the case of high manufacturing errors.
The building of detailed models of such devices drastically increases the
efficiency of their practical use. The integral design of interferometers
complicates its reconstruction since the internal elements are hard to address.
This problem can be approached by using optimization algorithms [Opt. Express
29, 38429 (2021)]. In this paper, we present a novel efficient algorithm based
on linear algebra only, which does not use computationally expensive
optimization procedures. We show that this approach makes it possible to
perform fast and accurate characterization of high-dimensional programmable
integrated interferometers. Moreover, the method provides access to the
physical characteristics of individual interferometer layers
WRAPPING AROUND THE RECONSTRUCTION PLATE WITH A PECTORALIS MUSCLE FLAP IN MANDIBULAR REPAIR AFTER SEGMENTAL RESECTION
The paper gives information on the proposed procedure for wrapping around the reconstruction plate with a pectoralis muscle flap in case of segmental resection of the lower jaw and recovery of its continuity with a titanium plate if there is a sufficient area of integuments (skin and mucosa) and soft tissue shortage
