Published: December 2017

Quantum phase slips (QPS) are the primary excitations in one-dimensional superfluids and superconductors at low temperatures. They have been well characterized in most condensed-matter systems, and signatures of their existence have been recently observed in superfluids based on quantum gases too. In this review, we briefly summarize the main results obtained on the investigation of phase slips from superconductors to quantum gases. In particular, we focus our attention on recent experimental results of the dissipation in one-dimensional Bose superfluids flowing along a shallow periodic potential, which show signatures of QPS.This article is part of the themed issue 'Breakdown of ergodicity in quantum systems: from solids to synthetic matter'.

We present direct differential phase recovery-an open-loop phasemeter topology for differential optical interferometric measurements. The technique aims to remove common mode signal dynamics prior to phase-tracking, which reduces the dynamic range requirements of the phasemeter tracking optical phase differences. A phase difference measurement is experimentally demonstrated with this technique, achieving a phase sensitivity of 1 × 10rad/Hz with a common-mode noise rejection of 141 dB.

Department of Endocrinology, Seth G.S. Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India. Electronic address:

Adolescent primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a rare endocrine disorder bearing distinctions from the adult form. This review examines its unique aspects, focusing on clinical presentation, genetic etiologies, genotype-phenotype correlations, and therapeutic management. Adolescent PHPT often has a genetic basis, whether familial, syndromic, or apparently sporadic, and identifying the underlying genetic cause is important for patient care.

The existing landslide monitoring methods are unable to accurately reflect the true deformation of the landslide body, and the use of a single SAR satellite, affected by its revisit cycle, still suffers from the limitation of insufficient temporal resolution for landslide monitoring. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for the dynamic reconstruction and evolutionary characteristic analysis of the Gaojiawan landslide's along-slope deformation based on ascending and descending orbit time-series InSAR observations using Kalman filtering. Initially, the method employs a gridded selection approach during the InSAR time-series processing, filtering coherent points based on the standard deviation of residual phases, thereby ensuring the density and quality of the extracted coherent points.
