Quantum deep learning (QDL) explores the use of both quantum and quantum-inspired resources to determine when deep learning's core capabilities, such as expressivity, generalization, and scalability, can be enhanced based on specific resource constraints. Distinct from broader quantum machine learning, QDL emphasizes compositional depth at the pipeline level and the integration of quantum or quantum-inspired components within end-to-end workflows.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset, fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting upper and lower motor neurons in the central nervous system. Drugs like riluzole, edaravone, and tofersen treat disease symptoms or are designed for a specific pathological mutation (e.g., SOD1), but they cannot prevent or halt the disease. [...]

Promoting brain health is vital for well-being and reducing healthcare burdens. Brain health as measured with the Brain Age Gap (BAG) - the difference between chronological and predicted brain age- relates to many factors [...]

In this study, a comprehensive investigation of the structure-property relationship in the solid solution series ZnFe2-xAlxO4 with x = 0.0 to 2.0 is provided. Measurements of the electrical conductivity, optical band gap, magnetic susceptibility, and other relevant parameters are discussed in dependence on the aluminum concentration. [...]
