Towards Efficient Function Optimisation with Quantum–Classical Hybrid Search

Finding the global minimum of a function with many local extrema is well known to be a challenging computational task. We propose a hybrid quantum–classical algorithm for this optimisation problem, based on a combination of Grover quantum s...

Relative multiplexing for minimising switching in linear-optical quantum computing

Many existing schemes for linear-optical quantum computing (LOQC) depend on multiplexing (MUX), which uses dynamic routing to enable near-deterministic gates and sources to be constructed using heralded, probabilistic primitives. MUXing acc...

The rank of contextuality

Quantum contextuality is one of the most recognized resources in quantum communication and computing scenarios. We provide a new quantifier of this resource, the rank of contextuality (RC). We define RC as the minimum number of non-contextu...

QG-WRN: A Quantum-Enhanced Graph Convolutional Wide Residual Network for ASD Diagnosis via Neuroimaging Sensing Technology

The pathological mechanism of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits dual heterogeneity: abnormal local energy metabolism and brain-wide high-order topological failure. To synergistically characterize these complex signals captured by adva...

Enhancing Communication Security in Drones Using QRNG in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

This paper presents a novel approach to enhancing the security and reliability of drone communications through the integration of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) systems. We propose a mult...

Outdoor access practices in the Canadian dairy industry

ABSTRACT: Dairy cows are highly motivated to access pasture and have a partial preference for alternative forms of outdoor access (e.g., deep-bedded outdoor sand or wood-chip packs). In addition, Canadians value the provision of outdoor acc...

A Secure, Intelligent, and Smart-Sensing Approach for Industrial System Automation and Transmission over Unsecured Wireless Networks

In Industrial systems, Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, the pseudo-transport layer of the distributed network protocol (DNP3) performs the functions of the transport layer and network layer of the open systems interc...

PRICHAIN: A Partially Decentralized Implementation of UbiPri Middleware Using Blockchain

With the popularization of the Internet-of-Things, various applications have emerged to make life easier. These applications generate a large amount of user data. Analyzing the data obtained from these applications, one can infer personal i...

A Fully Adapted Headstage With Custom Electrode Arrays Designed for Electrophysiological Experiments

Electrophysiological recordings lead amongst the techniques that aim to investigate the dynamics of neural activity sampled from large neural ensembles. However, the financial costs associated with the state-of-the-art technology used to ma...

A multi-image steganography: ISS

Abstract Unlike single-image steganography, the scheme of payload distribution on different images plays a pivotal role in the security performance of multi-image steganography. In this paper, a novel multi-image steganography scheme: image...

Understanding patient perspectives on digital therapeutics and its platform for insomnia: insights from focused group interviews

Abstract Background Digital therapeutics (DTx) is a treatment option that uses computer software to provide evidence-based interventions for medical disorders. DTx platforms are digital services that facilitate interactions among stakeholde...
