Physicists May Have Found a Hard Limit on The Performance of Large Quantum Computers
For circuit-based quantum computations, the achievable circuit complexity is limited by the quality of timekeeping. That’s according to a new analysis published in the journal Physical Review Letters exploring “the effect of imperfect timekeeping on controlled quantum dynamics.” An announcement from the Vienna University of Technology explains its significance. “The research team was able to…

Geopolitical narcissism has no place in HE partnerships
GLOBAL We live at a time when people, nation states and educators face many problems. Consider the climate-nature emergency. Lost habitat and species extinction. Desertification, crises of food and water, ever larger populations on the move. Rising sea levels. The latest reports say that the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet is now locked…

The downside to women academics’ ethical publishing choices
GLOBAL When Claudia Goldin received her Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, she was only the third woman to receive the award, after Esther Duflo (2019) and Elinor Ostrom (2009). It was the first time in the history of the 54-year-old prize that women held more Nobels in economics than the uncles of Larry Summers (Paul…

The value of TDI combined with myocardial strain parameters in quantitative evaluation of left heart function in parturient with pregnancy-induced hypertension
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the value of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) and 4D myocardial strain parameters in evaluating left heart function of pregnant women with hypertension and the association between these parameters and relevant factors. Forty-five pregnant women with hypertensive disorder, including 20 with hypertension, 15 with mild preeclampsia, and 10 with severe…
