Introduction: Mental health at the workplace (WMH) is an important indicator for the optimum functioning of a medical institute. To establish an effective WMH, it is essential to understand the level of awareness, perceptions, and felt needs of students and staff of a medical institute regarding mental health services within the campus.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted in an institution of national importance in Central India using a semistructured questionnaire based on Kobo Toolbox.

Article Synopsis
  • Discrete-time quantum walks can exhibit unique topological states, but losses in their environment can potentially disrupt these phases.
  • Using a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we analyze how topological states behave in lossy environments and find that these states remain stable against moderate losses in one-dimensional quantum walks as long as a certain symmetry condition is met.
  • In two-dimensional quantum walks, while the topological nature is maintained, the same symmetry condition does not apply; however, we do observe that losses can trigger a topological phase transition in this context.
