Quantum computers promise to solve certain problems more efficiently than their digital
counterparts. A major challenge towards practically useful quantum computing is characterizing …

Gauge theories are fundamental to our understanding of interactions between the elementary
constituents of matter as mediated by gauge bosons 1 , 2 . However, computing the real-…

The development of quantum computing architectures from early designs and current noisy
devices to fully fledged quantum computers hinges on achieving fault tolerance using …

The successful operation of quantum computers relies on protecting qubits from decoherence
and noise, which—if uncorrected—will lead to erroneous results. Because these errors …

A systematic study on the reactivity of the cyclo-P4 complexes [CpRTa(CO)2(η4-P4)] towards
pnictogenium cations results in the formation of functionalised interpnictogen cations. …

We present the first hardware implementation of electrostatic interaction energies by using a
trapped-ion quantum computer. As test system for our computation, we focus on the …

Correlations between different partitions of quantum systems play a central role in a variety
of many-body quantum systems, and they have been studied exhaustively in experimental …

In advanced quantum processors, quantum operations are increasingly processed along
multiple in-sequence measurements that result in classical data and affect the rest of the …

Building on Uriah Kriegel's recent work on the varieties of consciousness, I consider the
question of how many irreducible and fundamental kinds of consciousness there are. This is the …

The question of optimal timing for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) to achieve best
outcomes remains a crucial clinical issue. As AF occurs less frequently in younger patients, …
