Vaccinations in pregnancy are an essential part of prenatal care and play a critical role in protecting both pregnant persons and their infants from certain infectious diseases. In the United States, recommendations for vaccines are made through a comprehensive review of currently available scientific literature, including clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance data, by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The ACIP is an advisory committee to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), comprised of medical and public health experts who develop evidence-based recommendations and guidelines for vaccinations, including for pregnant persons.

However, for many fellows, their foundational physiology knowledge was acquired years earlier during their preclinical medical curricula and variably reinforced during the remainder of their undergraduate and graduate medical training. We sought to assess the retention of clinically relevant pulmonary physiology knowledge among pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) and critical care medicine (CCM) fellows.

Donors in silicon provide atomic size, excellent quantum coherence and compatibility with standard semiconductor processing, but no entanglement between donor-bound electron spins has been demonstrated to date. Here we present the experimental demonstration and tomography of universal one- and two-qubit gates in a system of two weakly exchange-coupled electrons, bound to single phosphorus donors introduced in silicon by ion implantation.

This applies also to ion-implanted donor spins, which further afford exceptional coherence times and large Hilbert space dimension in their nuclear spin. Here multiple strategies are demonstrated and integrated to manufacture scale-up donor-based quantum computers.
