Abstract: A quantum device capable of effectively cooling a quantum chip and an area (e.g., a space) therearound is provided. A quantum device includes a quantum chip and an interposer on which the quantum chip is located. The interposer includes an interposer substrate and an interposer wiring layer. The interposer wiring layer is disposed on a surface of the interposer substrate on a side on which the quantum chip is located. The interposer wiring layer includes, in at least a part thereof, a superconducting material layer formed of a superconducting material and a non-superconducting material layer formed of a non-superconducting material.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an object of the present invention is to provide a double-stranded nucleic acid complex having a novel structure. In an embodiment, the present invention relates to a nucleic acid complex comprising a first nucleic acid strand and a second nucleic acid strand, wherein said first nucleic acid strand: (1) is capable of hybridizing to at least a part of a target transcriptional product; (2) has an antisense effect on the target transcriptional product; and (3) is a gapmer comprising a central region, and a 5? wing region and a 3? wing region, said second nucleic acid strand comprises at least one sugar-unmodified central region (first exposed region) consisting of one sugar-unmodified ribonucleoside or two or three contiguous sugar-unmodified ribonucleosides linked by an internucleoside bond, which is or are complementary to a part of said first nucleic acid strand, and said first nucleic acid strand is annealed to said second nucleic acid strand.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for supplying process liquid s for a machine tool, which are able to reduce the consumption power and power factor of the pump 21 to a large extent in comparison with prior arts while maintaining the effects of process liquid s according to prior arts. The invention is embodied so that process liquid s such as coolant or cleaning fluid is supplied to necessary points by causing the process liquid s to flow down, which is stored in a sub tank 20 installed at a suitable height in a machine tool, by a gravity action when intermittently supplying the process liquid s such as coolant or cleaning fluid to the necessary points such as a workrest 2 and a workpiece w fixed thereon; the supplied process liquid s is collected into a main tank 19 on the other hand; and the process liquid s stored in the main tank 19 is transferred into the sub tank 20 by the pump 21.
