Quantum annealing: next-generation computation and how to implement it when information is missing

Platelet Refractoriness and how it is formed

Abstract Background and Objectives Transfusion of platelet has become one of the main treatments for thrombocytopenic patients to reduce the severity and frequency of bleeding consequences. Failure to attain the desired level of platelets in a patient following platelet transfusion is defined as platelet refractoriness. The purpose of present paper is to review and study the mechanisms involve...

Quantum-Statistical Annealing Computation

We develop a quantum computer architecture using quantum statistics and thermal annealing that is highly parallel and robust with respect to decoherence. The most general bounded computation can be expressed as solving a Boolean network. Quantum-statistical annealing (qusa) computation satisfies all Boolean relations more complicated than equality with quantum statistics, which takes no time, a...

Quantum Annealing and Analog Quantum Computation

We review here the recent success in quantum annealing, i.e., optimization of the cost or energy functions of complex systems utilizing quantum fluctuations. The concept is introduced in successive steps through the studies of mapping of such computationally hard problems to the classical spin glass problems. The quantum spin glass problems arise with the introduction of quantum fluctuations, a...

Communicating Query: Where XQuery Fits and How to Implement It

XML Query (also known as XQuery) is now a W3C Recommendation, as of January 2007; in other words, it is recognised by governments and others as an international standard. There are many implementations, and already XQuery is being used in industry. Among the implementations certain patterns have emerged: sets of features, positioning, maturity and more. This paper is intended as an introduction...
