Abstract: Systems and methods are described for operating a hybrid computing system using cluster contraction for converting large, dense input to reduced input that can be easily mapped into a quantum processor. The reduced input represents the global structure of the problem. Techniques involve partitioning the input variables into clusters and contracting each cluster. The input variables can be partitioned using an Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean algorithm. The quantum processor returns samples based on the reduced input and the samples are expanded to correspond to the original input.

Abstract: Gamma ray and e-beam irradiation provided efficient sterilization of certain self-assembling peptides (including RADA16 in solution) without substantial degradation of the major peptide, while, e.g., another self-assembly peptide, QLEL12 was significantly degraded following irradiation. Irradiation sterilization enhances the rheological property of, for example, RADA16 hydrogel once applied to tissue at a physiological pH. The rheological property increase can result in higher efficacy in a variety of biomedical applications.
