Towards Quantum Control with Advanced Quantum Computing: A Perspective
(MDPI, 2022-11-29)
We propose the combination of digital quantum simulation and variational quantum algorithms as an alternative approach to numerical methods for solving quantum control problems. As a hybrid quantum–classical framework, ...
Combined DFT and MD Simulation Protocol to Characterize Self-Healing Properties in Disulfide-Containing Materials: Polyurethanes and Polymethacrylates as Case Studies
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] The introduction of dynamic bonds in polymeric materials facilitates the emergence of new functionalities, such as self-healing capacity. Understanding the role of the molecular structure in the efficiency of the ...
Analysis of the influence of microencapsulated phase change materials on the behavior of a new generation of thermo-regulating shape memory polyurethane fibers
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
The present work is a first approach in order to achieve thermo-sensitive and waterproof polyurethane fibers useful in the textile industry. For this, two polyurethane formulations with glass transition temperatures (Tg) ...
Implementable hybrid quantum ant colony optimization algorithm
(Springer, 2022-12)
We propose a new hybrid quantum algorithm based on the classical Ant Colony Optimization algorithm to produce approximate solutions for NP-hard problems, in particular optimization problems. First, we discuss some previously ...
Detection of molecular transitions with nitrogen-vacancy centers and electron-spin labels
(Nature, 2022-11)
We present a protocol that detects molecular conformational changes with two nitroxide electron-spin labels and a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. More specifically, we demonstrate that the NV can detect energy ...
Digitized counterdiabatic quantum optimization
(American Physical Society, 2022-11)
We propose digitized-counterdiabatic quantum optimization (DCQO) to achieve polynomial enhancement over adiabatic quantum optimization for the general Ising spin-glass model, which includes the whole class of combinatorial ...
Quantum neural networks with multi-qubit potentials
(Nature, 2023-06)
We propose quantum neural networks that include multi-qubit interactions in the neural potential leading to a reduction of the network depth without losing approximative power. We show that the presence of multi-qubit ...
Photosensitizer-Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Combination for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy
(Wiley, 2023-05)
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are widely known for their versatile applications. One of the most extended is as drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. This review compiles the most ...
Bio-based hybrid nanocomposites as multifunctional sustainable materials for stone conservation
(Elsevier, 2023-08-23)
This study was aimed at developing a sustainable versatile bio-based epoxy-silica material to be potentially employed as hydrophobic and biocidal consolidating product in the field of stone conservation. For this purpose, ...
Protective Strategies of Haberlea rhodopensis for Acquisition of Freezing Tolerance: Interaction between Dehydration and Low Temperature
(MDPI, 2022-11-30)
Resurrection plants are able to deal with complete dehydration of their leaves and then recover normal metabolic activity after rehydration. Only a few resurrection species are exposed to freezing temperatures in their ...
