Disorder is known to have a profound influence on classical phase transitions, and it is anticipated to be even more important for quantum phase transitions. However, experimental investigation of the influence of disorder on phase transitions normally requires numerous samples over the range of disorder. Here, we investigate the field-driven quantum phase transition in the antiferromagnet LiErF. The isotopic distribution of natural Er permits us to probe the transition in the clean and dirty regimes in the same sample. Er, with non-zero nuclear spin on 23% of the Er sites, induces random mass disorder in the dirty (low-temperature) regime. We use specific heat and ac magnetic susceptibility experiments to identify a crossover between the two regimes at T = 150 mK. The critical behavior is consistent with a violation of the Harris criterion in the clean regime and a change of universality class in the dirty regime.

QuANTUM-First (NCT02668653) was a randomized phase 3 trial in newly diagnosed FLT3-ITDQpositive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated with quizartinib or placebo plus standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy and/or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), followed by single-agent maintenance therapy. We evaluated the impact of allo-HCT performed in first complete remission (CR1) or composite CR1 (CRc1) on overall survival (OS), considering treatment randomization. Post-hoc extended Cox regression multivariable analyses were conducted in patients who achieved CR/CRc by the end of induction, including allo-HCT in CR1/CRc1 as a time-dependent variable to identify prognostic and predictive factors for OS.

Quantum computers face significant challenges from quantum deviations or coherent noise, particularly during gate operations, which pose a complex threat to the efficacy of quantum error correction (QEC) protocols. Here we scrutinize the performance of the topological toric code in 2D under the dual influence of stochastic noise and quantum deviations, especially during the critical phases of initial state preparation and error detection facilitated by multiqubit entanglement gates. By mapping the multiround error detection protocol-from the inception of an imperfectly prepared code state via imperfect stabilizer measurements-to a statistical mechanical model (3D gauge theory coupled with 2D gauge theory), we establish a link between the error threshold and the model's phase transition.

A topological insulator with large bulk-insulating behavior and high electron mobility of the surface state is needed urgently, not only because it would be a good platform for studying topological surface states but also because it is a prerequisite for potential future applications. In this work, we demonstrated that tin (Sn) or indium (In) dopants could be introduced into a BiSbTeSe single crystal. The impacts of the dopants on the bulk-insulating property and electron mobility of the surface state were systematically investigated by electrical transport measurements.

Unaccustomed and/or strenuous eccentric contractions are known to cause delayed-onset muscle soreness. In spite of this fact, their exact cause and mechanism have been unknown for more than 120 years. The exploration of the diverse functionality of the Piezo2 ion channel, as the principal proprioceptive component, and its autonomously acquired channelopathy may bring light to this apparently simple but mysterious pain condition.

Tunnel ionization, the fundamental process in strong field physics and attosecond science, along with the subsequent electron dynamics are typically governed by the polarization and carrier envelope phase of the incident laser pulse. Moreover, most light-matter interactions involve Gaussian beams and rely primarily on dipole-active transitions. In this article, we reveal that Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) carrying beams enable to control tunnel ionization in atoms and molecules.
