Shadow tomography aims to build a classical description of a quantum state from a sequence of simple random measurements. Physical observables are then reconstructed from the resulting classical shadow. Shadow protocols which use single-body random measurements are simple to implement and capture few-body observables efficiently, but do not apply to systems with fundamental number conservation laws, such as ultracold atoms.

Objective: To describe the context of low back pain (LBP) presentations to emergency departments (EDs) by remoteness areas, hospital delineation level and staffing portfolios.

Design: A retrospective observational study using routinely captured ED and admission data over a 5-year period (July 2014-June 2019).

Settings: Thirty seven EDs across a large health district in NSW, Australia, covering major cities, inner regional areas and outer regional areas.

Objective: To identify and explore ED clinician perspectives on: (i) why patients with low back pain (LBP) present to the ED and are admitted into hospital from ED; (ii) barriers and enablers they face when providing care to patients with LBP; and (iii) strategies to improve the care of patients with LBP, and associated care processes, in the ED.

Methods: We undertook a qualitative exploratory study with ED clinicians (medical officers, nurses and physiotherapists) at a tertiary-level public hospital in New South Wales, Australia, using focus groups and individual interviews. We used thematic analysis to synthesise participant responses to answer the predefined research questions.
