Quantum state tomography (QST) is a crucial ingredient for almost all aspects of experimental quantum information processing. As an analog the “imaging” technique in settings, QST born to be data science problem, where machine learning techniques, noticeably neural networks, have been applied extensively. We build and demonstrate optical network (ONN) photonic polarization qubit QST. The ONN eq...

While it is well understood that the pace of evolution depends on the interplay between natural selection, random genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow, it is not always easy to disentangle the relative roles of these factors with data from natural populations. One popular approach to infer whether the observed degree of population differentiation has been influenced by local adaptation is the...

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) measures have recently been shown to predict outcomes in various musculoskeletal and pain conditions. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the emerging body of evidence investigating the prognostic value of QST measures in people with low back pain (LBP). The protocol for this review was prospectively registered on the International Prospective R...

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) has been used to assess neurological function in various chronic pain patient populations. In the present study, we investigated the ability of QST to reliably characterize somatosensory dysfunction in subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI) and neuropathic pain by measuring mechanical, vibration, and thermal detection and pain thresholds. Test-retest reliabili...

The large inter-individual variability in the magnitude of analgesia in response to opioids and the high prevalence of adverse events associated with their use underline the clinical importance of being able to predict who will or will not respond to opioid treatment. The present study used both static and dynamic quantitative sensory testing (QST) on 40 healthy volunteers in order to test whet...

We study electron transport through a single-molecule magnet (SMM) and the interplay of its anisotropic spin with quantized vibrational distortions of the molecule. Based on numerical renormalization group calculations we show that, despite the longitudinal anisotropy barrier and small transverse anisotropy, vibrational fluctuations can induce quantum spin-tunneling (QST) and a QST-Kondo effect...

Objective To estimate the extent to which psychophysical quantitative sensory test (QST) and patient factors (gender, age and comorbidity) predict pain, function and health status in people with shoulder disorders. To determine if there are gender differences for QST measures in current perception threshold (CPT), vibration threshold (VT) and pressure pain (PP) threshold and tolerance. Design...

This study evaluated the effects of potassium and sodium carbonate bicarbonate, Bacillus subtilis (Cohn, 1872) QST-713, pumilus (Meyer & Gottheil, 1901) QST-2808, crude roasted coffee oils on inhibition mycelial growth conidial germination in Botrytis cinerea Pers.: Fr colonization begonia (Begonia elatior Hort. ex Steud) leaf discs by B. inoculated before, simultaneously after with these alter...

QST is committed to the development of high power RF power sources (or gyrotrons) for plasma heating in fusion devices. Our main activity is the development of 170GHz gyrotron for electron cyclotron resonance heating and current drive (EC H&CD) system of ITER project which requires 20 MW of power injection into fusion plasma. In ITER, 24 sets of 1 MW gyrotrons are planned to be installed of whi...

Reproducible neurophysiologic testing paradigms are critical for multicenter studies of neuropathy associated with impaired glucose regulation (IGR), yet the best methodologies and endpoints remain to be established. This study evaluates the reproducibility of neurophysiologic tests within a multicenter research setting. Twenty-three participants with neuropathy and IGR were recruited from two ...
