Investigate the interaction between dark matter and dark energy
In this paper we investigate the interaction between dark matter and dark
energy by considering two different interacting scenarios, i.e. the cases of
constant interaction function and variable interaction function. By fitting the
current observational data to constrain the interacting models, it is found
that the interacting strength is non-vanishing, but weak for the case of
constant interaction function, and the interaction is not obvious for the case
of variable interaction function. In addition, for seeing the influence from
interaction we also investigate the evolutions of interaction function,
effective state parameter for dark energy and energy density of dark matter. At
last some geometrical quantities in the interacting scenarios are discussed.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
EHA: Entanglement-variational Hardware-efficient Ansatz for Eigensolvers
Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs) are one of the most important and
effective applications of quantum computing, especially in the current noisy
intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. There are mainly two ways for VQEs:
problem-agnostic and problem-specific. For problem-agnostic methods, they often
suffer from trainability issues. For problem-specific methods, their
performance usually relies upon choices of initial reference states which are
often hard to determine. In this paper, we propose an Entanglement-variational
Hardware-efficient Ansatz (EHA), and numerically compare it with some widely
used ansatzes by solving benchmark problems in quantum many-body systems and
quantum chemistry. Our EHA is problem-agnostic and hardware-efficient,
especially suitable for NISQ devices and having potential for wide
applications. EHA can achieve a higher level of accuracy in finding ground
states and their energies in most cases even compared with problem-specific
methods. The performance of EHA is robust to choices of initial states and
parameters initialization and it has the ability to quickly adjust the
entanglement to the required amount, which is also the fundamental reason for
its superiority.Comment: 16 pages, 21 figure
Resection of ruptured aneurysm associated with bilateral anomalous posterior inferior cerebellar anastomotic arteries: case report and review of literature
IntroductionAneurysms on the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) may not be the major part of intracranial aneurysm. Especially, an aneurysm located on the bilateral posterior inferior cerebellar anastomotic artery has abnormal anatomical characteristics in the vessel wall and then causes stroke including subarachnoid hemorrhage. This case report explores the direct resection of a ruptured aneurysm associated with the bilateral anomalous anastomotic artery of PICA.MethodsThe case report discusses a 53-year-old woman who suffered from sudden severe headache and vomiting for more than 3 h admitted to our hospital. Emergency computed tomography (CT) revealed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the third and fourth ventricles. Preoperative 3 Dimensions-digital subtraction angiography (3-D DSA) indicated a ruptured aneurysm located on the bilateral posterior inferior cerebellar anastomotic artery. Postoperative pathological findings indicated the characteristics of parent artery PICA and control aneurysm. The authors performed an overview of PICA aneurysms with anomalous variation in the Pubmed, Web of Science, and Medline databases. The search was until 1 August 2023. Related terms “posterior inferior cerebellar artery” And “aneurysm” AND “anatomical variants” were used to search the review. The reasons for anomalous variation anastomosis between bilateral PICAs were analyzed.ResultsThe aneurysm was resected successfully. Post-operative 3-D DSA revealed the disappearance of the aneurysm. The vessel wall of anastomotic PICA showed neovascularized hyperplasia, abnormal arrangement of smooth muscle, CD31+ endothelial cells, and SMA+ smooth muscle cells. In contrast, when it came to aneurysm, the wall at the location of the fracture thinned, which could be used to explain that the local nodular protrusion was formed and CD31+ endothelial cells existed. No neurological deficits were found at her 1-year follow-up visit (mRS score of 0).ConclusionDirect resection of ruptured aneurysm associated with bilateral anomalous posterior inferior cerebellar anastomotic arteries was an effective treatment and careful consideration of the anatomical characteristics concerning the interesting aneurysm and the variant PICA was critical for sate treatment. Also, the literature on the lesion was reviewed
