  • Publication number: 20200287714
    Abstract: This specification discloses a quantum public-key cryptosystem. The quantum public-key cryptosystem may use two rotation operators R{circumflex over (n)}(?) and R{circumflex over (m)}(?) satisfying a cyclic evolution. The two rotation operators R{circumflex over (n)}(?) and R{circumflex over (m)}(?) do not have a commutation relation or an anti-commutation relation with each other. The commutation relation or the anti-commutation relation is established when either of the following conditions is satisfied: ?=2i?, ?=2j?, or {circumflex over (n)}·{circumflex over (m)}=1 (i, j=integer), and ?=(2k+1)?, ?=(2l+1)?, or {circumflex over (n)}·{circumflex over (m)}=0 (k, l=integer).

  • Patent number: 10464019
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nickel-based catalyst for oxidizing carbon monoxide, which is prepared by forming nickel oxide on the surface of a mesoporous support by one or more cycles of atomic layer deposition, and a use thereof. The nickel-based catalyst for oxidizing carbon monoxide according to the present invention is stable at high temperatures because the size of the nickel oxide particles can be restricted to nanometer scales even at high-temperature conditions. In addition, the nickel-based catalyst exhibits catalytic reactivity for oxidation of carbon monoxide even at room temperatures. Additionally, the catalytic activity, which has been deactivated after conducting the catalytic reaction, can be regenerated through annealing and increased gradually through repeated annealing.
