Simulating non-completely positive actions via exponentiation of Hermitian-preserving maps by Fuchuan Wei, Zhenhuan Liu, Guoding Liu, Zizhao Han, Dong-Ling Deng, Zhengwei Liu

“…In addition, it facilitates the encoding-free recovery of noiseless quantum states from multiple noisy ones by simulating the inverse map of the corresponding noise channel, providing a new approach to handling quantum noises. This algorithm acts as a building block of large-scale quantum algorithms and presents a pathway for exploring potential quantum speedups across a wide range of information-processing tasks.…”

Study of an arginine- and tryptophan-rich antimicrobial peptide in peri-implantitis by Qian Zhang, Yalei Jiang, Xiaotong He, Liwei Liu, Xi Zhang

“…Moreover, VR-12 induced HGFs migration by promoting expression of migration-related factors, thereby promoting soft tissue healing. VR-12 also acted on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells, exerting excellent anti-inflammatory properties by affecting the secretion/expression of inflammation-related factors/genes. …”
