Multi-qubit gates and Schrödinger cat states in an optical clock.

Many-particle entanglement is a key resource for achieving the fundamental precision limits of a quantum sensor. Optical atomic clocks, the current state of the art in frequency precision, are a rapidly emerging area of focus for entanglement-enhanced metrology. Augmenting tweezer-based clocks featuring microscopic control and detection with the high-fidelity entangling gates developed for atom-array information processing offers a promising route towards making use of highly entangled quantum states for improved optical clocks.

Vancomycin resistance and virulence genes evaluation in isolated from pork and wild boar meat.

are considered valuable sentinel Gram-positive bacteria for monitoring vancomycin antibiotic resistance due to their widespread presence and characteristics. The use of antimicrobials in farming animals has a role in the increasing of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and the anthropogenic transformation of the landscape has forced wildlife into greater contact with humans and their livestock. The transmission of resistant bacteria by their meat products is a significant contributor to AMR development.

Cyclotron production of manganese-52: a promising avenue for multimodal PET/MRI imaging.

Background: The integration of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds promise for advancing diagnostic imaging capabilities. The METRICS project aims to develop cyclotron-driven production of Mn for PET/MRI imaging.

Results: Using the Cr(p,n)Mn reaction, we designed chromium metal targets via Spark Plasma Sintering and developed a separation procedure for isolating Mn.

Nuclear Cross-Section of Proton-Induced Reactions on Enriched Ti Targets for the Production of Theranostic Sc Radionuclide, Sc, Sc, Sc, Sc, and V.

The cross-sections of the Ti(p,x)Sc, Sc, Sc, Sc, Sc, and V nuclear reactions were measured from 18 to 70 MeV, with particular attention to Sc production. Enriched Ti powder was deposited on an aluminum backing and the obtained targets were characterized via elastic backscattering spectroscopy at the INFN-LNL. Targets were exposed to low-intensity proton irradiation using the stacked-foils technique at the ARRONAX facility.
