A mid-circuit erasure check on a dual-rail cavity qubit using the joint-photon number-splitting regime of circuit QED by Stijn J. de Graaf, Sophia H. Xue, Benjamin J. Chapman, James D. Teoh, Takahiro Tsunoda, Patrick Winkel, John W. O. Garmon, Kathleen M. Chang, Luigi Frunzio, Shruti Puri, Robert J. Schoelkopf

“…We use this scheme to detect leakage errors with a missed erasure fraction of (9.0 ± 0.5) × 10−4 while incurring an erasure rate of 2.92 ± 0.01% and a Pauli error rate of 0.31 ± 0.01%, both of which are dominated by cavity errors.…”

Reduced Numbers of Returning Atlantic Salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>) and Thiamine Deficiency Are Both Associated with the Consumption of High-Lipid Prey Fish by Marja Keinänen, Jari Raitaniemi, Jukka Pönni, Tiina Ritvanen, Timo Myllylä, Pekka J. Vuorinen

“…In 2021, the ratios were lowest due to the record-low number of 0-year-old herring. The poor thiamine status of spawning salmon was also associated with the high lipid content of available prey fish and with the abundance of youngish sprat, which have twice the lipid content of age-0 herring. …”

Prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of inmates diagnosed with infectious diseases living in a region with a high number of prisons in São Paulo state, Brazil by Charlene Troiani do Nascimento, Danilo Zangirolami Pena, Rogério Giuffrida, Fernanda Nobre Bandeira Monteiro, Francisco Assis da Silva, Edilson Ferreira Flores, Luiz Euribel Prestes-Carneiro

“…Three of those diagnosed with the infection were female and the ratio of female to men was 0.004:1.Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that the number of cases of infectious disease among inmates in the northwestern and western region of São Paulo is probably underestimated, with lower rates of HCV, HBV and syphilis. …”
