Variational Estimation of Optimal Signal States for Quantum Channels by Leonardo Oleynik, Junaid Ur Rehman, Hayder Al-Hraishawi, Symeon Chatzinotas

“…Our simulations demonstrate the convergence and accuracy of the method with a few iterations, confirming that optimal conditions for binary quantum communication systems can be variationally determined with minimal computation. Furthermore, since the channel knowledge is not required at the transmitter or at the receiver, these results can be employed in arbitrary quantum communication systems, including satellite-based communication systems, a particularly relevant platform for the quantum Internet.…”

The Relationship between Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Report of 2 Cases with Suspected Osteonecrosis by Akira Horikawa, Naohisa Miyakoshi, Yoichi Shimada, Hiroyuki Kodama

“…Preoperative findings of magnetic resonance images in both patients were consistent with the diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the medial femoral condyles, although plain X-rays showed minimal degenerative changes. In both patients, preoperative bone mineral densities of the femoral condyle and proximal tibia of the affected side were lower than those of the unaffected side. …”
