Dynamics of superconducting qubit relaxation times

Abstract Superconducting qubits are a leading candidate for quantum computing but display temporal fluctuations in their energy relaxation times T 1.This introduces instabilities in multi-qubit device performance.Furthermore, autocorrelation in these time fluctuations introduces challenges for obtaining representative measures of T 1 for process op

Analysis of YUC and TAA/TAR Gene Families in Tomato

Auxin is a vital phytohormone, but its synthesis pathway is poorly understood.This study used bioinformatic analysis to identify and analyze the gene family members that encode tomato auxin biosynthesis.The FZY gene family members encoding flavin-containing monooxygenases were retrieved from the tomato genome database.DNAMAN analysis revealed nine

The Availability and Acquisition of Illicit Anabolic Androgenic Steroids and Testosterone Preparations on the Internet

The lifetime prevalence of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) use in the United States is over 1%.Recent reports have suggested AAS can easily be obtained over the Internet without a prescription, but this has been poorly studied.This study focused on determining the availability and ease of purchase for AAS, testosterone, and other non-AAS therapi
