Simulating and Mitigating Crosstalk.

We describe an efficient and scalable framework for modeling crosstalk effects on quantum information processors. By applying optimal control techniques, we show how to tune-up arbitrary high-fidelity parallel operations on systems with substantial local and nonlocal crosstalk. As an example, we simulate a 2D square array of 100 superconducting transmon qubits.

Survey of current status and physician opinion regarding ancillary staffing for the IR suite.

Purpose: To survey the status quo of ancillary staffing in predominantly hospital-based interventional radiology (IR) suites and to assess interventional radiologist attitudes toward current IR procedure room staffing availability and appropriateness.

Materials And Methods: Invitations to an online survey composed of 26 questions focused on levels of IR suite ancillary staffing as well as operators' opinions of current IR procedure room staffing were sent via email to 2,284 active Society of Interventional Radiology members.

Results: There were 777 survey responses.
