Novel Glucose Metric "Latest Spike Time" Correlated with Weight Loss at Six Months in People with Obesity Using the Signos System.

The rise of digital health applications utilizing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) allows for novel assessments of glucose management and weight changes in people without diabetes. The Signos System incorporates a digital health app paired with a CGM to provide information and prompts aimed to help people without diabetes to manage weight. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the average timing of the latest chronological glucose excursion ("spike") was correlated with amount of weight loss.

Entanglement of nanophotonic quantum memory nodes in a telecom network.

A key challenge in realizing practical quantum networks for long-distance quantum communication involves robust entanglement between quantum memory nodes connected by fibre optical infrastructure. Here we demonstrate a two-node quantum network composed of multi-qubit registers based on silicon-vacancy (SiV) centres in nanophotonic diamond cavities integrated with a telecommunication fibre network. Remote entanglement is generated by the cavity-enhanced interactions between the electron spin qubits of the SiVs and optical photons.

Robust multi-qubit quantum network node with integrated error detection.

Long-distance quantum communication and networking require quantum memory nodes with efficient optical interfaces and long memory times. We report the realization of an integrated two-qubit network node based on silicon-vacancy centers (SiVs) in diamond nanophotonic cavities. Our qubit register consists of the SiV electron spin acting as a communication qubit and the strongly coupled silicon-29 nuclear spin acting as a memory qubit with a quantum memory time exceeding 2 seconds.

Efficient Source of Shaped Single Photons Based on an Integrated Diamond Nanophotonic System.

An efficient, scalable source of shaped single photons that can be directly integrated with optical fiber networks and quantum memories is at the heart of many protocols in quantum information science. We demonstrate a deterministic source of arbitrarily temporally shaped single-photon pulses with high efficiency [detection efficiency=14.9%] and purity [g^{(2)}(0)=0.

Optical Entanglement of Distinguishable Quantum Emitters.

Solid-state quantum emitters are promising candidates for the realization of quantum networks, owing to their long-lived spin memories, high-fidelity local operations, and optical connectivity for long-range entanglement. However, due to differences in local environment, solid-state emitters typically feature a range of distinct transition frequencies, which makes it challenging to create optically mediated entanglement between arbitrary emitter pairs. We propose and demonstrate an efficient method for entangling emitters with optical transitions separated by many linewidths.
