Arrays of neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezers have emerged as a leading platform for quantum information processing and quantum simulation due to their scalability, reconfigurable connectivity, and high-fidelity operations. Individual atoms are promising candidates for quantum networking due to their capability to emit indistinguishable photons that are entangled with their internal atomic states. Integrating atom arrays with photonic interfaces would enable distributed architectures in which nodes hosting many processing qubits could be efficiently linked together via the distribution of remote entanglement.

Background: A new subcutaneous (SC) formulation exists for infliximab (CT-P13 SC). The aim of this study was to assess the durability of clinical and endoscopic responses after a switch from intravenous (IV) to SC infliximab.

Methods: Patients were transitioned on maintenance infliximab, including those with dose-optimized therapy.

Background: Management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves biological agents, often in combination with thiopurines or methotrexate. The aim of our study was to compare clinical and endoscopic outcomes in IBD patients treated with vedolizumab or ustekinumab, as monotherapy or in combination with thiopurines or methotrexate.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all patients aged ≥18 years with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, commenced on vedolizumab or ustekinumab between October 2015 and March 2022.

Objective: To examine whether non-medical switching of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from originator infliximab to a biosimilar (CT-P13, Inflectra) is safe and clinically non-inferior to continued treatment with originator infliximab.

Design: Prospective, open label, multicentre, parallel cohort, non-inferiority study in seven Australian hospitals over 48 weeks, May 2017 - October 2019.

Participants: Adults (18 years or older) with IBD receiving maintenance originator infliximab (Remicade) who had been in steroid-free clinical remission for at least 12 weeks.
