Advancing quantum information processors and building fault-tolerant architectures rely on the ability to accurately characterize the noise sources and suppress their impact on quantum devices. In practice, noise often drifts over time, whereas conventional noise characterization and decoding methods typically assume stationarity or provide only a time-average behavior of the noise. This treatment can result in suboptimal decoding performance.

Abstract Laser photocoagulation remains the most common treatment for peripheral retinal degeneration. However, potential side effects, particularly inflammation and gliosis, raise concerns about an increased risk of epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation. This study aims to further investigate the association between laser photocoagulation and ERM formation and identify associated risk factors.

Quantum error-correcting codes such as the surface code allow the preservation of quantum information stored in error-prone quantum hardware. A central question for such codes is how to efficiently and accurately perform operations on the stored quantum information. Recent hardware advances now allow long-range connections. These connections open up the possibility of new kinds of quantum gates on these codes. One such gate is the two-qubit transversal controlled-not (cnot).
