description: Abstract Background Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is increasingly used to measure blood pressure (BP) in research studies. We examined ease of use, comfort, degree of disturbance, reported adverse effects, factors associated with poor tolerability, and association of poor tolerability with data acquisition of 24-hour ABPM using the Oscar 2 monitor in the research setting. Methods Sixty adults participating in a research study of people with a history of borderline clinic BP reported on their experience with ABPM on two occasions one week apart. Poor tolerability was operationalized as an overall score at or above the 75th percentile using responses to questions adapted from a previously developed questionnaire. In addition to descriptive statistics (means for responses to Likert-scaled "0 to 10" questions and proportions for Yes/No questions), we examined reproducibility of poor tolerability as well as associations with poor tolerability and whether poor tolerability was associated with removal of the monitor or inadequate number of BP measurements. Results The mean ambulatory BP of participants by an initial ABPM session was 148/87 mm Hg. After wearing the monitor the first time, the degree to which the monitor was felt to be cumbersome ranged from a mean of 3.0 to 3.8, depending on whether at work, home, driving, or other times. The most bother was interference with normal sleeping pattern (mean 4.2). Wearers found the monitor straightforward to use (mean 7.5). Nearly 67% reported that the monitor woke them after falling asleep, and 8.6% removed it at some point during the night. Reported adverse effects included pain (32%), skin irritation (37%), and bruising (7%). Those categorized as having poor tolerability (kappa = 0.5 between sessions, p = 0.0003) were more likely to report being in fair/poor health (75% vs 22%, p = 0.01) and have elevated 24-hour BP average (systolic: 28% vs 17%, p = 0.56; diastolic: 30% vs 17%, p = 0.37). They were also more likely to remove the monitor and have inadequate numbers of measurements. Conclusions The Oscar 2 ABPM device is straightforward to use but can interfere with sleep. Commonly reported adverse effects include pain, skin irritation, and bruising. Those who tolerate the monitor poorly are more likely to report being in fair or poor health and to remove it, particularly at night.

description: We present an experimental study of the pyrochlore coumpound Nd2Zr2O7 by means of neutron scattering and magnetization measurements down to 90 mK. The Nd$^{3+}$ magnetic moments exhibit a strong local $\langle$111$\rangle$ Ising anisotropy together with a dipolar-octupolar nature, different from the standard Kramers-doublet studied so far. We show that, despite the positive Curie-Weiss temperature, \ndzr\ undergoes a transition around 285 mK towards an all-in$-$all-out antiferromagnetic state. We establish the $(H,T)$ phase diagram in the three directions of the applied field and reveal a metamagnetic transition around 0.1 T. The strongly reduced ordered magnetic moment as well as the unexpected shape of the magnetization curves demonstrate that Nd2Zr2O7 , is not a standard Ising antiferromagnet. We propose that the peculiar nature of the Nd doublet combined with competing interactions explain these findings.

description: Variability classes in the enigmatic black hole candidate GRS 1915+105 are known to be correlated with the variation of the Comptonizing Efficiency (CE) which is defined to be the ratio between the number of power-law (hard) photons and seed (soft) photons injected into the Compton cloud. Similarities of light curves of several variability classes of GRS 1915+105 and IGR 17091-3624, some of which are already reported in the literature, motivated us to compute CE for IGR 17091-3624 as well. We find that they are similar to what were reported earlier for GRS 1915+105, even though masses of these objects could be different. The reason is that the both the sizes of the sources of the seed photons and of the Comptonizing corona scale in the same way as the mass of the black hole. This indicates that characterization of variability classes based on CE is likely to be black hole mass independent, in general.

description: Innovation in the construction industry is often driven by the legislation and by the market mechanisms. After the lever of energy efficiency, new goals are looming on the horizon towards sustainability of interventions. The essay aims to build, with particular reference to the Italian context, a framework of policies, of regulatory pathways and of the initiatives geared towards sustainability, which are determining and will determine the routes of environmental innovation. Central to all these paths is the life-cycle approach and the environmental evaluation based on LCA. Remarkable is the effort that research is producing to refine the assessment tools and the decision support tools toward a systemic vision of sustainability.

description: As a minimal model to study charge transfer effects in a transition metal (TM) and Oxygen (OX) chain, we consider a one-dimensional chain with spinless fermion with an alternating motif of site-pairs with nearest neighbor (NN) repulsion $U$ and uncorrelated site-pairs, separated by a charge transfer gap $Δ$. We first show that while two holes added in a filled band of NN interacting fermion in one dimension can stabilize to a two-hole bound pair, the bound pair delocalizes with a $U$-dependent bandwidth. In contrast, we establish that the bandwidth of two holes added on a TM site-pair in a filled band is dramatically suppressed, realizing a `local' two-hole resonance (L2HR) at the same TM site-pair mimicking the AES phenomenology. Employing a memory-efficient exact numerical scheme and standard Lanczos-based diagonalization, we then study two-hole spectra for holes added at TM site-pairs in partially filled bands. We analyze the multiple features that arise in the two-hole spectra at partial filling of the ground state. We uncover that in the strong $U$ limit, there is a filling-dependent $Δ_{crit}$ above which the L2HR remains stable for any band-filling greater than 75\%. In this regime, the energy location of the L2HR provides a direct estimate of the correlation strength at TM site-pairs for partial filling and is reminiscent of the Cini-Sawatzky theory for the filled band case. At 75\% band-filling, an abrupt redistribution of two-hole spectral weight destroys the L2HR regardless of $U$ or $Δ$ values. We discuss the relevance of these nonperturbative results, obtained with full lattice symmetry, for understanding AES of partially filled bands in terms of the local-two-hole spectrum.

description: Abstract The proportion of infant pertussis cases due to transmission from casual contact in the community has not been estimated since before the introduction of pertussis vaccines in the 1950s. This study aimed to estimate the proportion of pertussis transmission due to casual contact using demographic and clinical data from a study of 95 infant pertussis cases and their close contacts enrolled at 14 hospitals in France, Germany, Canada, and the U.S. between February 2003 and September 2004. A complete case analysis was conducted as well as multiple imputation (MI) to account for missing data for participants and close contacts who did not participate. By considering all possible close contacts, the MI analysis estimated 66% of source cases were close contacts, implying the minimum attributable proportion of infant cases due to transmission from casual contact with community members was 34% (95% CI = 24%, 44%). Estimates from the complete case analysis were comparable but less precise. Results were sensitive to changes in the operational definition of a source case, which broadened the range of MI point estimates of transmission from casual community contact to 20%–47%. We conclude that casual contact appears to be responsible for a substantial proportion of pertussis transmission to young infants. Medical subject headings (MeSH): multiple imputation, pertussis, transmission, casual contact, sensitivity analysis, missing data, community.

description: Linear crossing of energy bands occur in a wide variety of materials. In this paper we address the question of the quantization of the Berry winding characterizing the topology of these crossings in dimension $D=2$. Based on the historical example of $2$-bands crossing occuring in graphene, we propose to relate these Berry windings to the topological Chern number of a $D=3$ dimensional extension of these crossings. This dimensional embedding is obtained through a choice of a gap-opening potential. We show that the presence of an (emergent) $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, local in momentum and antiunitary, allows us to relate $D=3$ Chern numbers to $D=2$ Berry windings quantized as multiple of $π$. We illustrate this quantization mechanism on a variety of three-band crossings.

description: We combine large-scale atomistic modelling with continuum elastic theory to study the shapes of graphene sheets embedding nanoscale kirigami. Lattice segments are selectively removed from a flat graphene sheet and the structure is allowed to close and reconstruct by relaxing in the third dimension. The surface relaxation is limited by a nonzero bending modulus which produces a smoothly modulated landscape instead of the ridge-and-plateau motif found in macroscopic lattice kirigami. The resulting surface shapes and their interactions are well described by a new set of microscopic kirigami rules that resolve the competition between the bending and stretching energies.

description: We give explicit descriptions of rings of differential operators of toric face rings in characteristic $0$. For quotients of normal affine semigroup rings by radical monomial ideals, we also identify which of their differential operators are induced by differential operators on the ambient ring. Lastly, we provide a criterion for the Gorenstein property of a normal affine semigroup ring in terms of its differential operators. Our main technique is to realize the k-algebras we study in terms of a suitable family of their algebra retracts in a way that is compatible with the characterization of differential operators. This strategy allows us to describe differential operators of any k-algebra realized by retracts in terms of the differential operators on these retracts, without restriction on char(k).

description: In this study, the application of bipolar electrocoagulation (EC) with iron electrode has been assessed for color removal of simulated wastewater containing Reactive Red 195. The influence of initial pH, sodium sulphate concentration, initial dye concentration, electrolysis time, and electric current were examined. The optimum operational parameters were found to be pH =11, concentration of dye = 50 mg L-1, sodium sulphate concentration = 1200 mg L-1, electrolysis time = 5 min, and electric current = 4 A. In such condition, color removal efficiency achieved over 99%. This result indicates that EC can be used as an efficient and “green” method for color removal from reactive dye solution. Trong nghiên cứu này, quá trình khử màu nhuộm hoạt tính (Reactive Red 195) được khảo sát bằng hệ thống keo tụ điện hóa điện cực kép, với vật liệu sắt. Các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến quá trình khử màu như pH, nồng độ màu nhuộm, nồng độ muối Na2SO4, thời gian phản ứng và cường độ dòng được lựa chọn nghiên cứu. Kết quả cho thấy hệ thống điện hóa trên loại gần như hoàn toàn màu nhuộm với hiệu suất đạt trên 99 % tại pH 11, nồng độ màu 50 mgL-1 và nống độ muối Na2SO4 1200 mgL-1 trong khoảng thời gian 5phút. Kết quả trên cho thấy keo tụ điện hóa có thể xem là một phương pháp xử lý hiệu quả và “xanh” trong việc loại bỏ hoàn toàn màu từ nước thải nhuộm hoạt tính.

description: For an irreducible complex reflection group $W$ of rank $n$ containing $N$ reflections, we put $g=2N/n$ and construct a $(g+1)^n$-dimensional irreducible representation of the Cherednik algebra which is (as a vector space) a quotient of the diagonal coinvariant ring of $W$. We propose that this representation of the Cherednik algebra is the single largest representation bearing this relationship to the diagonal coinvariant ring, and that further corrections to this estimate of the dimension of the diagonal coinvariant ring by $(g+1)^n$ should be orders of magnitude smaller. A crucial ingredient in the construction is the existence of a dot action of a certain product of symmetric groups acting on the parameter space of the rational Cherednik algebra and leaving invariant both the finite Hecke algebra and the spherical subalgebra; this fact is a consequence of ideas of Berest-Chalykh on the relationship between the Cherednik algebra and quasi-invariants.

description: We consider two systems of wave equations whose wave-packet solutions have trajectories that are altered by the "anomalous velocity" effect of a Berry curvature. The first is the matrix Weyl equation describing cyclotron motion of a charged massless fermion. The second is Maxwell equations for the whispering-gallery modes of light in a cylindrical waveguide. In the case of the massless fermion, the anomalous velocity is obscured by the contribution from the magnetic moment. In the whispering gallery modes the anomalous velocity causes the circumferential light ray to creep up the cylinder at the rate of one wavelength per orbit, and can be identified as a continuous version of the Imbert-Federov effect.

description: Localization is a crucial task for autonomous mobile robots in order to successfully move to goal locations in their environment. Usually, this is done in a robot-centric manner, where the robot maintains a map with its body in the center. In swarm robotics applications, where a group of robots needs to coordinate in order to achieve their common goals, robot-centric localization will not suffice as each member of the swarm has its own frame of reference. One way to deal with this problem is to create, maintain and share a common map (global coordinate system), among the members of the swarm. This paper presents an approach to global localization for a group of robots in unknown, GPS and landmark free environments that extends the localization scheme of the LadyBug algorithm. The main idea relies on members of the swarm staying still and acting as beacons, emitting electromagnetic signals. These stationary robots form a global frame of reference and the rest of the group localize themselves in it using the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). The proposed method is evaluated, and the results obtained from the experiments are promising.

description: A Green-function theory for the dynamic spin susceptibility in the square-lattice spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic compass-Heisenberg model employing a generalized mean-field approximation is presented. The theory describes magnetic long-range order (LRO) and short-range order (SRO) at arbitrary temperatures. The magnetization, N'eel temperature T_N, specific heat, and uniform static spin susceptibility $χ$ are calculated self-consistently. As the main result, we obtain LRO at finite temperatures in two dimensions, where the dependence of T_N on the compass-model interaction is studied. We find that T_N is close to the experimental value for Ba2IrO4. The effects of SRO are discussed in relation to the temperature dependence of $χ$.

We show that, under mild assumptions, in a family of primitive generically free $G$-varieties over a base variety $B$ the essential dimension of the geometric fibers may drop on a countable union of Zariski closed subsets of $B$ and stays constant away from this countable union. We give several applications of this result.

description: Abstract Background Racial disparities in blood pressure control are well established; however the impact of low health literacy (LHL) on blood pressure has garnered less attention. Office based interventions that are created with iterative patient, practice and community stakeholder input and are rolled out incrementally, may help address these disparities in hypertension control. This paper describes our study protocol. Methods/design Using a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach, we designed and implemented a cohort study that includes both a practice level and patient level intervention to enhance the care and support of patients with hypertension in primary care practices in a rural region of eastern North Carolina. The study is divided into a formative phase and an ongoing 2.5 year implementation phase. Our main care enhancement activities include the integration of a community health coach, using home blood pressure monitoring in clinical decision making, standardizing care delivery processes, and working to improve medication adherence. Main outcomes include overall blood pressure change, the differential change in blood pressure by race (African American vs. White) and health literacy level (low vs. higher health literacy). Discussion Using a community based participatory approach in primary care practice settings has helped to engage patients and practice staff and providers in the research effort and in making practice changes to support hypertension care. Practices have engaged at varying levels, but progress has been made in implementing and iteratively improving upon the interventions to date. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01425515.

description: Organisms living in mountains contend with extreme climatic conditions, including short growing seasons and long winters with extensive snow cover. Anthropogenic climate change is driving unprecedented, rapid warming of montane regions across the globe, resulting in reduced winter snowpack. Loss of snow as a thermal buffer may have serious consequences for animals overwintering in soil, yet little is known about how variability in snowpack acts as a selective agent in montane ecosystems. Here, we examine genomic variation in California populations of the leaf beetle Chrysomela aeneicollis, an emerging natural model system for understanding how organisms respond to climate change. We used a genotype-environment association approach to identify genomic signatures of local adaptation to microclimate in populations from three montane regions with variable snowpack and a coastal region with no snow. We found that both winter-associated environmental variation and geographical distance contribute to overall genomic variation across the landscape. We identified non-synonymous variation in novel candidate loci associated with cytoskeletal function, ion transport and membrane stability, cellular processes associated with cold tolerance in other insects. These findings provide intriguing evidence that variation in snowpack imposes selective gradients in montane ecosystems.

Evaluating the impact of cannabis use on thalamic connectivity in youth at clinical high risk of psychosis
Creators: name: Perkins, Diana
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Abstract Background Disruptions in thalamic functional connectivity have been observed in people with schizophrenia and in youth at clinical high risk (CHR) of psychosis. However, the impact of environmental risk factors for psychosis on thalamic dysconnectivity is poorly understood. We tested whether thalamic dysconnectivity is related to patterns of cannabis use in a CHR sample. Methods 162 CHR and 105 control participants were assessed on cannabis use severity, frequency, and age at onset of first use as part of the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study and completed resting-state fMRI scans. Whole-brain thalamic functional connectivity maps were generated using individual subjects’ anatomically defined thalamic seeds. Results Thalamic connectivity did not significantly correlate with current cannabis use severity or frequency in either CHR or controls. In CHR cannabis users, a significant correlation emerged between attenuated thalamic connectivity with left sensory/motor cortex and a younger age at onset of cannabis use. CHR who used cannabis before age 15 did not differ on thalamic connectivity as compared to CHR who used after age 15 or CHR who were cannabis naïve. No group differences in thalamic connectivity emerged when comparing CHR separated by moderate/high use frequency, low-frequency or cannabis naïve. Conclusions Although a younger age at onset of cannabis use may be associated with disrupted thalamo-cortical coupling, cannabis use does not appear to be an identifying characteristic for thalamic connectivity in CHR with moderate/high use frequency compared to low-frequency users or CHR who are cannabis naïve.

description: I propose a simple and manageable method that allows for deriving coupling constants of model energy density functionals (EDFs) directly from ab initio calculations performed for finite fermion systems. A proof-of-principle application allows for linking properties of finite nuclei, determined by using the nuclear nonlocal Gogny functional, to the coupling constants of the quasilocal Skyrme functional. The method does not rely on properties of infinite fermion systems but on the ab initio calculations in finite systems. It also allows for quantifying merits of different model EDFs in describing the ab initio results.

description: Summary: Many Rutgers commuting students have the problem of deciding where to go in-between classes. A lot of commuters want to be able to take a rest to recharge their system before their next lecture in order to stay alert and not fall asleep in class. Unfortunately, there is no place to do that unless you go to your car, which is not the most comfortable place. Sure, Rutgers provides some lounges with couches and chairs, but they are inadequate for a good nap and do not have the proper amenities that commuters need. There are too many disturbances with people chatting and walking up and down the halls, which does not provide for a serene environment and there is nowhere to eat or heat up food. Our goal is to create the ideal environment for commuting students that solve the problems that they have with a commuter center.

description: We give a formula comparing the E-series of the moduli stacks of rank 2 degree 0 semistable Higgs bundles in genus $g \geq 2$ to intersection E-polynomials of its coarse moduli space. A parellel formula holds in various 2-Calabi-Yau settings, for example for sheaves on K3 surfaces, or preprojective algebras of $g$-loop quivers. As a consequence we provide evidence for a conjecture of Davison on the BPS cohomology of Higgs bundles, which has implications for non-abelian Hodge theory for stacks. We apply the formula to cohomological $χ$-independence tests for BPS cohomology of Higgs bundles and K3 surfaces.

subject: Self-care
subject: Urinary Catheter

description: Background: Home care patients with indwelling urinary catheters are responsible for daily care and management of their catheter. Those with indwelling catheters demonstrate a high risk for same-day emergency department use. Additionally, complications of urinary tract infection, catheter blockage, and urinary retention do not necessitate hospital admission in most cases, suggesting community management can be enhanced. Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review is to identify the breadth of the literature reporting self-care recommendations and directives on the management of complications related to indwelling urinary catheters in community residing adults.
G2 monopoles

description: We investigate some aspects of Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield monopole solutions in the Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with exceptional gauge group $G_2$ spontaneously broken to $U(1)\times U(1)$. Corresponding homotopy group is $π_2\left(G_2/U(1)\times U(1)\right)$ and similar to the $SU(3)$ theory, the $G_2$ monopoles are classified by two topological charges $(n_1,n_2)$. In fundamental representation these yield a subset of $SO(7)$ monopole configurations. Through inspection of the structure of $Alg(G_2)$, we propose an extension of the Nahm construction to the $(n,1)_{G_2}$ monopoles. For $(1,1)_{G_2}$ monopole the Nahm data are written explicitly.

Forcibly Urban: Internally Displaced Persons' Experiences of Bogotá's Neoliberal Transformation

description: This research explores the extent to which neoliberal urbanization being implemented in the global South allows marginalized populations, and specifically displaced people, to enjoy the right to the city. Drawing on the narratives of forcibly displaced people living in Bogotá, this research highlights the links between the dynamics of race, gender, class, sex and ethnicity that lie beneath this city’s spatial order and the mechanisms of violence and intra-urban displacement that shape displaced people’s urban experiences. Despite the expectations that Bogotá’s urban renewal would bring about a homogenous city, this research shows that this process has not been able to overturn the city’s segregated spatial order north-rich-white vs. south-poor-mestizo. It highlights that, in so doing, the existing urban order has allowed a continuum of gendered violence to flow from rural areas of armed conflict to the city as well as the re-emergence of forms of exploitation. This research therefore examines how such mechanisms hinder forcibly displaced people, particularly displaced women, from overcoming victimization and participate in deepening their socio-spatial exclusion. Through this research, I seek to contribute to the existing literature on global South cities by excavating the spatial and gender-related challenges faced by urban societies undergoing democratic transitions such as post-conflict situations. Based on eight months of fieldwork conducted in 2012, combined with media and discourse analysis as well as archival research undertaken up to 2016, the analysis brings to the fore displaced people’s itineraries of displacement, including the paths they have covered through their experiences of mourning, survival or resistance. Inspired by feminist political thinkers and geographers as well as postcolonial urban scholars, this research proposes a gendered right to the city aimed at two interrelated purposes. First, as a methodological platform from which to identify the hurdles faced by displaced people in their struggles to overcome their condition of victim and, second, as a venue to enable this population the chance to access transformative transitional justice in the cities they have come to inhabit.

A swimming robot actuated by living muscle tissue

description: Abstract Biomechatronics is the integration of biological components with artificial devices, in which the biological component confers a significant functional capability to the system, and the artificial component provides specific cellular and tissue interfaces that promote the maintenance and functional adaptation of the biological component. Based upon functional performance, muscle is potentially an excellent mechanical actuator, but the larger challenge of developing muscle-actuated, biomechatronic devices poses many scientific and engineering challenges. As a demonstratory proof of concept, we designed, built, and characterized a swimming robot actuated by two explanted frog semitendinosus muscles and controlled by an embedded microcontroller. Using open loop stimulation protocols, the robot performed basic swimming maneuvers such as starting, stopping, turning (turning radius ~400 mm) and straight-line swimming (max speed >1/3 body lengths/second). A broad spectrum antibiotic/antimycotic ringer solution surrounded the muscle actuators for long term maintenance, ex vivo. The robot swam for a total of 4 hours over a 42 hour lifespan (10% duty cycle) before its velocity degraded below 75% of its maximum. The development of functional biomechatronic prototypes with integrated musculoskeletal tissues is the first critical step toward the long term objective of controllable, adaptive and robust biomechatronic robots and prostheses.
Top-N recommendations in the presence of sparsity: An NCD-based approach

description: Making recommendations in the presence of sparsity is known to present one of the most challenging problems faced by collaborative filtering methods. In this work we tackle this problem by exploiting the innately hierarchical structure of the item space following an approach inspired by the theory of Decomposability. We view the itemspace as a Nearly Decomposable system and we define blocks of closely related elements and corresponding indirect proximity components. We study the theoretical properties of the decomposition and we derive sufficient conditions that guarantee full item space coverage even in cold-start recommendation scenarios. A comprehensive set of experiments on the MovieLens and the Yahoo!R2Music datasets, using several widely applied performance metrics, support our model's theoretically predicted properties and verify that NCDREC outperforms several state-of-the-art algorithms, in terms of recommendation accuracy, diversity and sparseness insensitivity.

Quantum circuit compilation and hybrid computation using Pauli-based computation

description: Pauli-based computation (PBC) is driven by a sequence of adaptively chosen, non-destructive measurements of Pauli observables. Any quantum circuit written in terms of the Clifford+$T$ gate set and having $t$ $T$ gates can be compiled into a PBC on $t$ qubits. Here we propose practical ways of implementing PBC as adaptive quantum circuits and provide code to do the required classical side-processing. Our schemes reduce the number of quantum gates to $O(t^2)$ (from a previous $O(t^3 / \log t)$ scaling) and space/time trade-offs are discussed which lead to a reduction of the depth from $O(t \log t)$ to $O(t)$ within our schemes, at the cost of $t$ additional auxiliary qubits. We compile examples of random and hidden-shift quantum circuits into adaptive PBC circuits. We also simulate hybrid quantum computation, where a classical computer effectively extends the working memory of a small quantum computer by $k$ virtual qubits, at a cost exponential in $k$. Our results demonstrate the practical advantage of PBC techniques for circuit compilation and hybrid computation.

Superconducting-semiconducting voltage-tunable qubits in the third dimension

description: We propose superconducting-semiconducting (super-semi) qubit and coupler designs based on high-quality, compact through-silicon vias (TSVs). An interposer "probe" wafer containing TSVs is used to contact a sample wafer with, for example, a superconductor-proximitized, epitaxially-grown, germanium quantum well. By utilizing the capacitance of the probe wafer TSVs, the majority of the electric field in the qubits is pulled away from lossy regions in the semiconducting wafer. Through simulations, we find that the probe wafer can reduce the qubit's electric field participation in the sample wafer by an order of magnitude for thin substrates and remains small even when the epitaxial layer thickness approaches 100 $μ$m. We also show how this scheme is extensible to multi-qubit systems which have tunable qubit-qubit couplings without magnetic fields. This approach shrinks the on-chip footprint of voltage-tunable superconducting qubits and promises to accelerate the understanding of super-semi heterostructures in a variety of systems.
