Resisting High-Energy Impact Events through Gap Engineering in Superconducting Qubit Arrays.

Quantum error correction (QEC) provides a practical path to fault-tolerant quantum computing through scaling to large qubit numbers, assuming that physical errors are sufficiently uncorrelated in time and space. In superconducting qubit arrays, high-energy impact events can produce correlated errors, violating this key assumption. Following such an event, phonons with energy above the superconducting gap propagate throughout the device substrate, which in turn generate a temporary surge in quasiparticle (QP) density throughout the array.

Production of the adjective and possessive markers in Chinese post-stroke aphasia.

Research has shown that patients with post-stroke aphasia may encounter difficulties in producing inflectional morphemes. Interestingly, they also show distinct challenges with the inflectional morphemes of homophones, such as the plural marker and the possessive marker in English. However, previous studies have predominantly focused on morphemes in European languages.

Study on the load-supporting characteristic of the new type of support disc-type anchor under cyclic loading test.

The new type of support disc-type anchor is an expanded body anchor with broad application prospects, and its load-bearing performance is significantly better than that of traditional anchors. However, there is a problem of premature shear damage in traditional support disc-type anchors. In order to solve this problem, this paper improves the traditional support disk anchor.

Comparison of the prognosis and lymph node metastasis between no tumor budding and low-grade tumor budding in T1 and T2 colorectal cancer.

Tumor budding is a significant prognostic factor in colorectal cancer (CRC) management and is graded as follows: 0-4 buds as low, 5-9 buds as intermediate, and > 10 buds as high. However, the specific prognostic difference between cases with 0 buds (BD0) and those with 1-4 buds (BD1) is not well established owing to a lack of comparative studies. This study aimed to examine and compare the rate of lymph node (LN) metastasis and prognosis by distinguishing between BD0 and BD1 within the low-grade category (0-4 buds) of tumor budding in submucosa (T1) and muscularis propria (T2) CRC.
