Quantum-capacity bounds in spin-network communication channels

, 2019
Using the Lieb-Robinson inequality and the continuity property of the quantum capacities in terms of the diamond norm, we derive an upper bound on the values that these capacities can attain in spin-network communication i.i.d.

Decentralization of Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) External Quality Assurance Using Blind Rechecking for Sputum Smear Microscopy in Ethiopia.

PLoS ONE, 2016
IntroductionEthiopia achieved a rapid expansion of TB microscopic centers for acid fast bacilli (AFB). However, external quality assurance (EQA) services were, until recently, limited to few regional and sub-regional laboratories.
