Analyzing Initialization Strategies for the Local Unitary Cluster Jastrow Ansatz within the Quantum-Centric Supercomputing Framework

Abstract In this study, we analyze the choice of local unitary cluster Jastrow (LUCJ) ansatz initialization and the sensitivity of the sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) algorithm within the quantum-centric supercomputing (QCSC) framework. We examine six initialization st...

Diagnostic yield of repeat CT pulmonary angiography after a negative examination in the emergency department

PURPOSE: Although repeat CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) after a negative index examination in the emergency department (ED) is common, its diagnostic utility remains uncertain. This study aimed to determine the incidence and diagnostic yield of repeat CTPA after a negative index...

Implementation and evaluation of a technical support center for the Research to Enhance the Adaptation and Implementation of Health Systems Guidelines in LMICs [RAISE] initiative

Abstract Background Capacity-strengthening initiatives for health policy and systems research (HPSR) in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) are often designed with little consideration of LMIC stakeholder needs. We formed a Technical Support Centre to support research teams...
