Quantum Computing: Theoretical versus Practical Possibility

Paramagnetic Materials and Practical Algorithmic Cooling for Nmr Quantum Computing *

Algorithmic Cooling is a method that uses novel data compression techniques and simple quantum computing devices to improve NMR spectroscopy, and to offer scalable NMR quantum computers. The algorithm recursively employs two steps. A reversible entropy compression of the computation quantum-bits (qubits) of the system and an irreversible heat transfer from the system to the environment through ...

Effects of the use of theoretical versus theoretical-practical training on CPR.

BACKGROUND Theoretical knowledge and skill to perform good quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are essential for the survival of patients with sudden death. OBJECTIVE To determine whether a theoretical course alone is sufficient to promote good quality CPR training and knowledge for health professionals in comparison to a theoretical-practical basic life support training. METHODS Tw...

Practical Reason and the Possibility of Error

On the Theoretical Possibility of Quantum Visual Information Transfer to the Human Brain

The feasibility of wave function collapse in the human brain has been the subject of vigorous scientific debates since the advent of quantum theory. Scientists like Von Neumann, London, Bauer and Wigner (initially) believed that wave function collapse occurs in the brain or is caused by the mind of the observer. Experimentally, first Hall et al. performed an experiment to investigate wave funct...

Quantum Bio and Quantum Computing Practical Advances for Oncology, Radiology, and Nanomedical Imaging

ly, the goals may be described in the following manner: • Improved localization and tracking • treatment plans spanning multiple types of time intervals (months, weeks, seconds) • targeting of specific objects (e.g., thoracic, abdominal tumors) • challenges for imaging, to be compared and registered, to be tracked • employment of robotic or semi-robotic therapeutic devices • human-guided admini...
