problem without defined etiology. Herein, we sought to determine the relationship between …

The non-Gaussian operation can be used not only to enhance and distill the entanglement
between Gaussian entangled states, but also to improve the performance of quantum …

A suitable photon-subtraction operation can be exploited to improve the maximal transmission
of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) in point-to-point quantum …

Point-to-point quantum privacy communication over a standard telecommunication fiber link
can be implemented by continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV QKD). However, …

Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS) has been one of the greatest threats to network
security for years. In recent years, DDoS attackers turn to application layer, which makes …

Quantum photon-catalysis operations can be utilized for improving the performance of
continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) systems. Motivated by characteristics of …

The discretely modulated continuous-variable quantum key distribution (DM CVQKD) has
been proven to be secure, and a basic assumption for the current theoretical security proof of …

Progesterone has been used in the hormonal treatment of endometrial cancer (EC) for many
years, but the response rates are unsatisfying. The down-regulated progesterone receptor (…

Background: Although a number of studies have investigated the association of the OPRM1
A118G polymorphism with pain response, a consensus has not yet been reached. Methods: …

Background Chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is highly prevalent in
patients with cancer and is associated with poor outcomes and quality of life. To date, the …
