Full Classification of Transport on an Equilibrated 5/2 Edge via Shot Noise.

The nature of the bulk topological order of the 5/2 non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall state and the steady state of its edge are long-studied questions. The most promising non-Abelian model bulk states are the Pfaffian (Pf), anti-Pffafian (APf), and particle-hole symmetric Pfaffian (PHPf). Here, we propose to employ a set of dc current-current correlations (electrical shot noise) in order to distinguish among the Pf, APf, and PHPf candidate states, as well as to determine their edge thermal equilibration regimes: full vs partial.

Manipulating Non-Abelian Anyons in a Chiral Multichannel Kondo Model.

Non-Abelian anyons are fractional excitations of gapped topological models believed to describe certain topological superconductors or quantum Hall states. Here, we provide the first numerical evidence that they emerge as independent entities also in gapless electronic models. Starting from a multi-impurity multichannel chiral Kondo model, we introduce a novel mapping to a single-impurity model, amenable to Wilson's numerical renormalization group.

Cumulative polarization in conductive interfacial ferroelectrics.

Ferroelectricity in atomically thin bilayer structures has been recently predicted and measured in two-dimensional materials with hexagonal non-centrosymmetric unit-cells. The crystal symmetry translates lateral shifts between parallel two-dimensional layers to sign changes in their out-of-plane electric polarization, a mechanism termed 'slide-tronics'. These observations have been restricted to switching between only two polarization states under low charge carrier densities, limiting the practical application of the revealed phenomena.

Emergence of Neutral Modes in Laughlin-like Fractional Quantum Hall Phases.

Chiral gapless boundary modes are characteristic of quantum Hall (QH) states. For hole-conjugate fractional QH phases counterpropagating edge modes (upstream and downstream) are expected. In the presence of electrostatic interactions and disorder these modes may renormalize into charge and upstream neutral modes.

Photon-Instanton Collider Implemented by a Superconducting Circuit.

Instantons, spacetime-localized quantum field tunneling events, are ubiquitous in correlated condensed matter and high-energy systems. However, their direct observation through collisions with conventional particles has not been considered possible. We show how recent advances in circuit quantum electrodynamics, specifically, the realization of galvanic coupling of a transmon qubit to a high-impedance transmission line, allows the observation of inelastic collisions of single microwave photons with instantons (phase slips).

The efficacy of pocket elimination/reduction compared to access flap surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To assess the efficacy and adverse effects of resective surgery compared to access flap in patients with periodontitis.

Methods: Randomized controlled trials with a follow-up ≥6 months were identified in ten databases. Screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were conducted by two reviewers.

Unrestricted Electron Bunching at the Helical Edge.

A quantum magnetic impurity of spin S at the edge of a two-dimensional time reversal invariant topological insulator may give rise to backscattering. We study here the shot noise associated with the backscattering current for arbitrary S. Our full analytical solution reveals that for S>1/2 the Fano factor may be arbitrarily large, reflecting bunching of large batches of electrons.

Dissipative and Hall Viscosity of a Disordered 2D Electron Gas.

Hydrodynamic charge transport is at the center of recent research efforts. Of particular interest is the nondissipative Hall viscosity, which conveys topological information in clean gapped systems. The prevalence of disorder in the real world calls for a study of its effect on viscosity.

Symmetry and Correlation Effects on Band Structure Explain the Anomalous Transport Properties of (111) LaAlO_{3}/SrTiO_{3}.

The interface between the two insulating oxides SrTiO_{3} and LaAlO_{3} gives rise to a two-dimensional electron system with intriguing transport phenomena, including superconductivity, which are controllable by a gate. Previous measurements on the (001) interface have shown that the superconducting critical temperature, the Hall density, and the frequency of quantum oscillations, vary nonmonotonically and in a correlated fashion with the gate voltage. In this Letter we experimentally demonstrate that the (111) interface features a qualitatively distinct behavior, in which the frequency of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations changes monotonically, while the variation of other properties is nonmonotonic albeit uncorrelated.

Superconducting Correlations Out of Repulsive Interactions on a Fractional Quantum Hall Edge.

We consider a fractional quantum Hall bilayer system with an interface between quantum Hall states of filling fractions (ν_{top},ν_{bottom})=(1,1) and (1/3,2), motivated by a recent approach to engineering artificial edges [Y. Ronen et al., Nat.

Conformers of Ubiquitin 6+ for Different Charge Distributions: Atomistic Structures and Ion Mobility Cross Sections.

Despite the fact that protein chemistry occurs in solution, studying the structure of desolvated proteins in mass spectrometry vacuum conditions allows one to study biological molecules in complete isolation. The electrospray ionization process results in charged protein conformers for which the charge locations distribution and the corresponding structure are not known. In this paper, we explore the influence of different charge distributions on the structure of conformers of ubiquitin 6+ in the vacuum conditions of mass spectrometry.

Management of the extraction socket and timing of implant placement: Consensus report and clinical recommendations of group 3 of the XV European Workshop in Periodontology.

Background: The transition from a tooth requiring extraction to its replacement (with a dental implant) requires a series of clinical decisions related to timing, approach, materials, cost-effectiveness and the assessment of potential harm and patient preference. This workshop focused on the formulation of evidence-based consensus statements and clinical recommendations.

Methods: Four systematic reviews covering the areas of alveolar ridge preservation/bone grafting, immediate early and delayed implant placement and alveolar bone augmentation at the time of implant placement in a healed ridge formed the basis of the deliberations.

Knowledge and Opinion of Internists and Gynecologists Physicians on Periodontal Medicine.

Purpose: To evaluate the knowledge, opinions, and behaviours of physicians in the field of internal medicine and gynecology regarding periodontal disease and its systemic implications.

Methods: A questionnaire was distributed by hand and via e-mail to internists and gynecologists working in hospitals and community clinics. The questionnaires included items regarding personal and professional status, subject-related characteristics, dental history and knowledge in periodontal medicine.

Symmetry-Resolved Entanglement in Many-Body Systems.

Similarly to the system Hamiltonian, a subsystem's reduced density matrix is composed of blocks characterized by symmetry quantum numbers (charge sectors). We present a geometric approach for extracting the contribution of individual charge sectors to the subsystem's entanglement measures within the replica trick method, via threading appropriate conjugate Aharonov-Bohm fluxes through a multisheet Riemann surface. Specializing to the case of 1+1D conformal field theory, we obtain general exact results for the entanglement entropies and spectrum, and apply them to a variety of systems, ranging from free and interacting fermions to spin and parafermion chains, and verify them numerically.

Suppression of Interference in Quantum Hall Mach-Zehnder Geometry by Upstream Neutral Modes.

Mach-Zehnder interferometry has been proposed as a probe for detecting the statistics of anyonic quasiparticles in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states. Here, we focus on interferometers made of multimode edge states with upstream modes. We find that the interference visibility is suppressed due to downstream-upstream mode entanglement; the latter serves as a "which path" detector to the downstream interfering trajectories.

Radiographic outcomes following treatment of intrabony defects by freeze-dried bone allograft combined with enamel matrix derivative: A retrospective study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiographic outcomes following regenerative surgery using enamel matrix derivative (EMD) + freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA).

Method And Materials: In total, 74 two- or three-wall intrabony defects were treated by a combination of EMD+FDBA followed by supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) for a minimum of 2 years. Radiographs were taken at baseline and after the follow-up period.

Primary prevention of peri-implantitis: managing peri-implant mucositis.

Aims: Over the past decades, the placement of dental implants has become a routine procedure in the oral rehabilitation of fully and partially edentulous patients. However, the number of patients/implants affected by peri-implant diseases is increasing. As there are--in contrast to periodontitis--at present no established and predictable concepts for the treatment of peri-implantitis, primary prevention is of key importance.

The effects of sinus membrane pathology on bone augmentation and procedural outcome using minimal invasive antral membrane balloon elevation.

Membrane pathology tends to complicate the postprocedural course of open sinus lift by ostio-meatal complex (OMC) obstruction and consequent acute sinusitis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of subjects with considerable sinus membrane pathology undergoing maxillary sinus floor augmentation and simultaneous implant placement using the minimal invasive antral membrane balloon elevation (MIAMBE) method. This study was a retrospective chart review of MIAMBE procedures performed in the presence of significant sinus membrane pathology.

Helical edge resistance introduced by charge puddles.

We study the influence of electron puddles created by doping of a 2D topological insulator on its helical edge conductance. A single puddle is modeled by a quantum dot tunnel coupled to the helical edge. It may lead to significant inelastic backscattering within the edge because of the long electron dwelling time in the dot.

Inelastic microwave photon scattering off a quantum impurity in a Josephson-junction array.

Quantum fluctuations in an anharmonic superconducting circuit enable frequency conversion of individual incoming photons. This effect, linear in the photon beam intensity, leads to ramifications for the standard input-output circuit theory. We consider an extreme case of anharmonicity in which photons scatter off a small set of weak links within a Josephson junction array.

Comparison of variable-thread tapered implant designs to a standard tapered implant design after immediate loading. A 3-year multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Objectives: This randomised, controlled multicentre trial aimed at comparing two versions of a variable-thread dental implant design to a standard tapered dental implant design in cases of immediate functional loading for 36 months after loading.

Materials And Methods: 177 patients (325 implants) were included at 12 study centres and randomly allocated into one of three treatment groups: NAI (variable-thread design, NobelActive internal connection), NAE (variable-thread design, NobelActive external connection) and, as control, NR (standard tapered design, NobelReplace tapered groovy). Inclusion criteria concerned healed bony implant sites and feasibility for immediate loading.
