Exploring the possible two-proton radioactivity of 38,39Ti by B. Huang, F.P. Bai, J.G. Li, D.Q. Fang, S.M. Wang

“…Our calculations suggest that 39Ti is indeed a viable candidate for 2p emission. Notably, the estimated partial 2p decay width for 39Ti, predicted from the three-body GCC method, suggests that its 2p decay could rival its β decay in likelihood, although this is highly dependent on the specific 2p decay energy. …”

Approximate Solutions of Combinatorial Problems via Quantum Relaxations by Bryce Fuller, Charles Hadfield, Jennifer R. Glick, Takashi Imamichi, Toshinari Itoko, J. Richard Thompson, Yang Jiao, M. Marna Kagele, W. Blom-Schieber Adriana, Rudy Raymond, Antonio Mezzacapo

“…The second rounding protocol is deterministic and is based on the estimation of Pauli observables. The proposed quantum relaxations inherit memory compression from quantum random access codes, which allowed us to test the performances of the methods presented for 3-regular random graphs and a design problem motivated by industry for sizes up to 40 nodes, on superconducting quantum processors.…”
