We present a scalable protocol for measuring full counting statistics (FCS) in experiments or tensor-network simulations. In this method, an ancilla in the middle of the system acts as a turnstile, with its phase keeping track of the time-integrated particle flux. Unlike quantum gas microscopy, the turnstile protocol faithfully captures FCS starting from number-indefinite initial states or in the presence of noisy dynamics.

Correct detection of EV is crucial for patient and public health purposes. The performance of diagnostic and public health laboratories on molecular EV-detection was analyzed using data from the external quality assessment program distributed by Quality Control for Molecular Diagnostics (QCMD) between 2005 and 2022.

Direct experimental signatures of the Dirac fluid are elusive, as its charge transport is diffusive as in conventional metals. In this paper, we point out a striking consequence of fluctuating relativistic hydrodynamics: The full counting statistics (FCS) of charge transport is highly non-Gaussian.

- Immunosuppressive medication dosing after organ transplantation typically relies on therapeutic drug monitoring, but this method may not effectively predict rejection or infections.
- The TTVguideIT trial investigates using Torque Teno Virus (TTV) load measurement via qPCR as a potentially better alternative for dosing tacrolimus.
- Results demonstrated that the TTV R-GENE® assay showed excellent accuracy and consistency across participating labs, allowing for standardized TTV load measurement in clinical trials.
Background: Diagnostic capabilities and correspondent External Quality Assessments (EQA) are key for outbreak preparedness. To support diagnostic facilities with a quality assessment of newly established monkeypox virus (MPXV) molecular diagnostic workflows, Quality Control for Molecular Diagnostics (QCMD) and the Bundeswehr Institute of Microbiology (IMB) piloted an international EQA study conducting four challenges from autumn 2022 to summer 2023 during the global mpox outbreak.
Objectives: To assess the performance (sensitivity/specificity) of molecular assays used by diagnostic laboratories.
