FLASH radiation therapy, which utilizes FLASH effect with ultra-high-dose-rate (UHDR) radiation, has shown promising performance in achieving treatment goals with decreased risks on healthy organs of patients. However, a number of factors, including patient-s...

For proton spots to be deliverable, the intensity of each spot must either be zero or exceed a specific minimum monitor unit (MMU) threshold, which is a nonconvex problem. This study develops a quantum computing (QC)-based optimization framework to address th...
