Quantum Merlin-Arthur proof systems are a weak form of quantum interactive proof systems, where mighty Merlin as a prover presents a proof in a pure quantum state and Arthur as a verifier performs polynomial-time quantum computation to verify its correctness with high success probability. For a more general treatment, this paper considers quantum “multiple-Merlin”-Arthur proof systems in which ...

Although from the time of Koch onwards there had been desultory experiments with a variety of gold preparations in the management of pulmonary tuberculosis, gold as a recognised and accepted treatment did not emerge until 1925. In that year Holger Mollgaard of Copenhagen introduced sanocrysin, a double thiosulphate of gold and sodium, with which he had conducted an extensive series of animal ex...
