Harnessing techniques from analog signal processing, we establish a new path for large-scale quantum computation.
A central challenge in building a scalable quantum computer with superconducting qubits is the execution of high-fidelity two-qubit gates presence many resonant elements. As more elements are added to architecture, and as multiplicity their couplings grows, design's frequency space becomes crowded, performance suffers. The authors present way address this difficulty: selective activation interactions between transmon fixed those tunable frequency. This depends on both amplitude modulation,...
Prior estimates of the population-level impact gambling have relied on economic costings. Recent work has derived disability weights for Problem Gambling Severity Index, which measure per-person quality life a scale zero to one. This provided scope present study calculate 'burden harm', captures aggregate harms arising from in population. Gambling-related harm was associated with 101,675 years lost Victoria, Australia: approximately two-thirds that alcohol use and dependence, major...
The nomenclature used to describe animals working in roles supporting people can be confusing. same term may different roles, or two terms mean the thing. This confusion is evident among researchers, practitioners, and end users. Because certain animal are provided with legal protections and/or government-funding support some jurisdictions, it necessary clearly define existing avoid confusion. aim of this paper provide operationalized definitions for nine terms, which would useful many world...
The cross-plane thermal conductivities of metal/semiconductor multilayers and epitaxial superlattices have been measured as a function period by time-domain thermoreflectance at room temperature. (001)-oriented ZrN (metal)/ScN (semiconductor) (Zr,W)N/ScN with the rocksalt crystal structure were grown on (001)MgO substrates reactive magnetron sputtering. A distinct minimum in conductivity ∼6 nm is observed for ZrN/ScN multilayers. 5.25 W/m K factor ∼2.7 smaller than mean (including only...
Monocrystalline, vertically aligned and faceted GaN nanorods with controlled diameter have been synthesized by selective organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) onto exposed at the bottom of pores in silicon dioxide templates patterned reactive ion etching through self-organized porous anodic alumina films. This process is free foreign catalysts, nanorod control achieved without need for low-throughput nanolithographic techniques. The use conventional OMVPE growth conditions allows...
Metal/semiconductor superlattices have the potential for a high thermoelectric figure of merit. The thermopower these structures can be enhanced by controlling barrier height using high-energy electron filtering. In addition, phonon scattering at interfaces reduce lattice contribution to thermal conductivity. this paper, we present theoretical and experimental studies transport in ZrN/ScN metal/semiconductor superlattices. Preliminary measurement results show an exponential increase...

While the PGSI is indeed an established index of problem-gambling symptoms, it nevertheless does not quantify degree harm experienced by individuals at different points on spectrum gambling problems. The purpose present study was to establish relationship between category and health-related quality life (HRQoL) decrements using a population health (PH) method. Harms reported gamblers affected others across spectrums were transformed into 798 vignettes. A general panel (N=786) experts who...
Background and aims Direct messaging via text messages (texts) emails is a widely used method to advertise sports race-betting offers. However, they have attracted little research, as this advertising not in the public domain. This study aimed determine whether betting expenditure related receiving direct wagering messages, specific inducements promote. We hypothesized that particularly texts, would be within 24 hr. Methods In ecological momentary assessment study, regular ( n = 98) race...
Gambling-related harm to concerned significant others (CSOs) is an important public health issue since it reduces CSOs' and wellbeing in numerous life domains. This study aimed 1) estimate the first national prevalence of CSOs harmed by gambling Australia; 2) identify characteristics most at risk from another person's gambling; 3) compare types number harms experienced based on their relationship person who gambles; 4) self-identified gender.
We describe a microfabrication process for superconducting through-silicon vias appropriate use in qubit quantum processors. With sloped-wall via geometry, we can non-conformal metal deposition methods such as electron-beam evaporation and sputtering, which reliably deposit high quality films. Via superconductivity is validated by demonstrating zero via-to-via resistance below the critical temperature of aluminum.
Prior studies have identified self-regulatory strategies that are infrequently used by problem-gamblers, but which might be protective if used. However, guidelines with evidence-based safe gambling practices (SGPs) prevent gambling-related harm lacking. This study aimed to: 1) identify a parsimonious set of SGPs best predict non-harmful amongst gamblers who otherwise most susceptible to experiencing harm; 2) examine how widely they used; and 3) assess whether their use differs gambler...
Electronic gaming machines (EGMs) are one of the most harmful forms gambling at an individual level. It is unclear whether restriction EGM functions and accessibility results in meaningful reductions population-level harm.A natural policy experiment using a large (N = 15,000) national dataset weighted to standard population variables was employed compare estimates problems between Australian residents Western Australia (WA), where EGMs restricted venue have different structural features,...
COVID-19 lockdowns limited access to gambling but simultaneously elevated psychosocial stressors. This study assessed the relative effects of these changes on risk status during and after Australian lockdown from late-March late-May 2020. The administered three surveys people who had gambled within past year at T1. Wave 1 asked about before (T1, N = 2,125) (T2, 2,125). Subsequent focused one (T3; 649) two years (T4, 458). dependent variable was in reporting any problem symptoms (PGSI 0 vs...

TiSiN ultrathin films (10–50 Å) deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from TixSiy targets were used as anticorrosion overcoats to protect Co-containing recording media. Films’ growth, structure, composition, resistance against hydrolysis, and performances studied spectroscopy (x-ray reflectivity diffraction, ellipsometry, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy) simulated molecular dynamics (using modified Tersoff-type interatomic...
