Improving the speed of variational quantum algorithms for quantum error correction by Zoratti, Fabio, De Palma, Giacomo, Kiani, Bobak, Nguyen, Quynh T., Marvian, Milad, Lloyd, Seth, Giovannetti, Vittorio

“…At variance with other quantum distances typically adopted in quantum information processing, QW1 lacks the unitary invariance property which makes it a suitable tool to avoid getting trapped in local minima. Focusing on a simple noise model for which an exact QEC solution is known and can be used as a theoretical benchmark, we run a series of numerical tests that show how, guiding the VQA search through the QW1, can indeed significantly increase both the probability of a successful training and the fidelity of the recovered state, with respect to the results one obtains when using conventional approaches.…”

An iGlu receptor antagonist and its simultaneous use with an anticancer drug for cancer therapy by Luo, Zhong, Li, Peizhou, Tan, Si Yu, Ang, Chung Yen, Nguyen, Kim Truc, Zhao, Yanli

“…Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) were employed as the delivery vehicle for both L1 and Dox by conjugating the iGlu receptor antagonist on the surface and encapsulating Dox within the mesopores. Dox was then trapped within the mesopores by functionalizing a redox-cleavable capping group on the MSNP surface, and it could be released upon exposure to the reductive glutathione. …”

Effect of post-deposition annealing on the interface electronic structures of Al2O3-Capped GaN and GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure by Duan, Tian Li, Pan, Ji Sheng, Ang, Diing Shenp

“…XPS study shows a decrease in the Ga 3d and N 1s core level binding energy after a high-temperature PDA, implying a decrease of the interface defect density and the associated positive trapped-charge. From Hall-effect measurement, the density and mobility of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) are found to decrease and increase, respectively, after PDA, supporting the XPS results. …”

Robotics project for TechX challenge : multimodal robot localization in GPS challenged environment by Goh, Nigel Min Jing.

“…This project will focus mainly on the implementation of the localisation techniques and create a layout view of the environment using a visualised map. The project is done using the Robot Operating System (ROS) to solve the problem of insufficient Global Positioning System (GPS) signal in an indoor environment which makes it difficult to establish a satellite signal for location based technology used frequency in the current society.…”

Process planning for high speed milling prototyping technology by Tan, Kim Wei.

“…This research is directed to the process planning including the workpiece orientation, the rest-milling tool path generation and the orthogonal milling tool path generation for the Orthogonal Milling Process. Visibility maps are used to represent the feasible orientation of a surface feature so that the problem of workpiece orientation can be transformed into a geometric problem in the spherical domain and be analyzed in order to determine a feasible workpiece orientation.…”

Semantic-guided distribution calibrating for few-shot classification by Qiu, Guochen

“…Semantic Conditional Batch Normalization (SCBN) , is to alleviate the deviations of the same class distribution in different episodic caused by sampling from the level of feature maps. In addition, a semantic Transformer (ST) is introduced to map the support and query set into a new feature space, where their domain gap is smaller. …”
