Anisotropic exchange interaction of two hole-spin qubits.

Semiconductor spin qubits offer the potential to employ industrial transistor technology to produce large-scale quantum computers. Silicon hole spin qubits benefit from fast all-electrical qubit control and sweet spots to counteract charge and nuclear spin noise. However, the demonstration of a two-qubit interaction has remained an open challenge.

Synergistic interaction of green-synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles and Averrhoa carambola extract in chitosan films.

Chitosan-based films incorporated with green-synthesized TiO nanoparticles (CT) and Averrhoa carambola extract (CP) at different concentrations were fabricated and optimised based on enhanced tensile, moisture-gas barrier and retention capabilities of antioxidants. Chitosan incorporated with 0.06 % TiO NP and those incorporated with 6 % carambola extract exhibited optimal results, and developed films of the above two concentrations of the additives were blended into chitosan (CTP) for further analysis.

Strong hole-photon coupling in planar Ge for probing charge degree and strongly correlated states.

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in planar germanium (Ge) heterostructures have emerged as front-runners for future hole-based quantum processors. Here, we present strong coupling between a hole charge qubit, defined in a double quantum dot (DQD) in planar Ge, and microwave photons in a high-impedance (Z = 1.3 kΩ) resonator based on an array of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs).

Clients' perceptions of motivational interviewing with couples: A qualitative examination of male couples' statements to counselors in session.

The past two decades have seen expanding interest in the application of Motivational Interviewing (MI) with couples. Thus far, literature detailing the development of MI with couples has focused primarily on elucidating counseling processes and techniques or on evaluating intervention effects. To date no published studies have examined client-perceptions of the counseling process in MI with couples.

Evidence library of meta-analytical literature assessing the sustainability of agriculture - a dataset.

In the last two decades, an exponentially growing number of meta-analyses (MAs) synthesize thousands of peer-reviewed studies on the environmental impacts of farming practices (FPs). This paper describes the iMAP-FP evidence library, a comprehensive dataset on the effects of 34 categories of FPs (such as agronomic practices, cropping and livestock systems, land management options and mitigation techniques) on 34 impacts including climate mitigation, soil health, environmental pollution, water use, nutrients cycling, biodiversity, and agricultural productivity. Through systematic screening, 570 MAs published since 2000 were selected and categorized according to the type of FP.
