Demonstration of Deutsch's Algorithm on a Stable Linear-Optical Quantum Computer
We report an experimental demonstration of quantum Deutsch's algorithm by
using linear-optical system. By employing photon's polarization and spatial
modes, we implement all balanced and constant functions for quantum computer.
The experimental system is very stable and the experimental data are excellent
in accordance with the theoretical results.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
Non-classical non-Gaussian state of a mechanical resonator via selectively incoherent damping in three-mode optomechanical systems
We theoretically propose a scheme for the generation of a non-classical
single-mode motional state of a mechanical resonator (MR) in the three-mode
optomechanical systems, in which two optical modes of the cavities are linearly
coupled to each other and one mechanical mode of the MR is optomechanically
coupled to the two optical modes with the same coupling strength
simultaneously. One cavity is driven by a coherent laser light. By properly
tuning the frequency of the weak driving field, we obtain engineered
Liouvillian superoperator via engineering the selective interaction Hamiltonian
confined to the Fock subspaces. In this case, the motional state of the MR can
be prepared into a non-Gaussian state, which possesses the sub-Poisson
statistics although its Wigner function is positive.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Nanocrystals in silicon photonic crystal standing-wave cavities as spin-photon phase gates for quantum information processing
By virtue of a silicon high-Q photonic crystal nanocavity, we propose and
examine theoretically interactions between a stationary electron spin qubit of
a semiconductor nanocrystal and a flying photon qubit. Firstly, we introduce,
derive and demonstrate for the first time the explicit conditions towards
realization of a spin-photon two-qubit phase gate, and propose these
interactions as a generalized quantum interface for quantum information
processing. Secondly, we examine novel single-spin-induced reflections as
direct evidence of intrinsic bare and dressed modes in our coupled
nanocrystal-cavity system. The excellent physical integration of this silicon
system provides tremendous potential for large-scale quantum information
processing
Effect of temozolomide combined with radiotherapy on survival and MGMT protein expression in recurrent malignant glioma patients
Purpose: To investigate the effect of temozolomide (TMZ) combined with radiotherapy (RT) on O-6- methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) protein and survival of recurrent malignant glioma patients.
Methods: Ninety-two patients with malignant glioma in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2015 were assigned to study and control groups using the random table method. Subjects in the control group received radiotherapy (total dose in the range of 60 – 75 Gy), while those in the study group were given TMZ orally (75 mg/m2) daily in addition to radiotherapy, as well as TMZ at 150 – 200 mg/m2. After treatment, clinical effectiveness was compared for the two groups. Changes in methylation of MGMT gene were determined in the two groups. The patients were followed up for 3 years, and the degrees of survival and recurrence were recorded.
Results: Total effectiveness of clinical treatment was markedly higher in the study group (76.09 %) than in the control group (45.65 %; p < 0.05). One month after radiotherapy, significant decrease in MGMT gene methylation was seen in patients in the study group, relative to control patients (p < 0.05). Patients in the study group had lower median recurrence but higher degree of survival in the 2nd and 3rd years, relative to control patients (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The combination of temozolomide and radiotherapy is more effective than radiotherapy in the treatment of recurrent malignant glioma. The combined treatment significantly inhibits tumor recurrence in patients, and improves their prognosis and standard of life
2,4-Dichloro-7-fluoroquinazoline
The molecule of the title compound, C8H3Cl2FN2, is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.018 (2) Å. In the crystal, π–π stacking is observed between parallel quinazoline moieties of adjacent molecules, the centroid–centroid distance being 3.8476 (14) Å
