Quantum coherence is the basis for multi-particle interference and quantum entanglement. It is also the essential ingredient for various physical phenomena in quantum optics, quantum information, etc. In recent years, with the proposal of a quantum coherence measurement scheme based on a resource theory framework, quantum coherence as a quantum resource has been extensively investigated. This article reviews the resource theories of quantum coherence and introduces the important applications of quantum coherence in quantum computing,quantum information, and interdisciplinary fields, particularly in quantum thermodynamics and quantum biology. Quantum coherence and its applications are still being explored and developed. We hope this review can provide inspiration for relevant research.展开更多

However, there are still no complete orthogonal genuine multipartite entanglement(GME) bases available as Bell states to bipartite systems. To achieve this goal, we find a method to construct complete orthogonal GME states, and we exclude many equivalent states by leveraging the group theory. We also provide the case of a 3-order 3-dimensional Hilbert space as an example and study the application of general results in the dense coding scheme as an application. Moreover, we discuss some open questions and believe that this work will enlighten extensive studies in this field.展开更多

Applying differential element analysis methods, decision tree, integer linear programming the-ory and stochastic processes ideas, we propose models for the objects matching, the distribu-tion network, the exchange system and the in-dividual decision-making strategy, and thor-oughly analyze the relationship between the matching rate and the waiting time, and their impacts on the efficiency of the donor-matching process. And as the experiments, we evaluate the algorithms and system by kidney matching, decision making and distribution problems on real world data.展开更多

Taking HIV/AIDS as the application and validation background, we propose a novel al-gorithm model system, EEA model system, a new way to estimate the spread situation, evaluate different countermeasures and analyze the development of ARV-resistant disease strains. The model is a series of solvable ordi-nary differential equation (ODE) models to es-timate the spread of HIV/AIDS infections, which not only require only one year’s data to deduce the situation in any year, but also apply the piecewise constant method to employ multi- year information at the same time. We simulate the effects of therapy and vaccine, then evaluate the difference between them, and offer the smallest proportion of the vaccination in the population to defeat HIV/AIDS, especially the advantage of using the vaccination while the deficiency of using therapy separately. Then we analyze the development of ARV-resistant dis-ease strains by the piecewise constant method. Last but not least, high performance computing (HPC) platform is applied to simulate the situa-tion with variable large scale areas divided by grids, and especially the acceleration rate will come to around 4 to 5.5.展开更多

The effects of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) intercalation conditions on the properties of EP/MoS2 nanocomposites were investigated. As the intercalation time was prolonged, the surface of MoS2 exhibited a totally crumpled structure and more functional groups formed. Because of the higher functional group concentration, the interfacial adhesion force between EP and MoS2 was enhanced. With the addition of 1.0 wt% exfoliated MoS2 fillers, the tensile strength and tensile modulus of EP were even improved ~500% and ~6800%, respectively. Therefore, this work provides a facile way to produce high-performance EP nanocomposites.展开更多
