The Lada Terra rise and Quetzalpetlatl Corona: A region of long-lived mantle upwelling and recent volcanic activity on Venus

Quetzalpetlatl Corona ( 850 km in diameter) and Boala Corona ( 350 km 250 km in diameter), are both situated within the Lada Terra rise, a prominent 2000-km-wide circular topographic feature rising 2.5–3 km above the mean planetary radius in the southern hemisphere of Venus, south of the Lavinia Planitia lowlands. Together these features form a unique configuration that combines the characteris...

How Often Must We Apply Syndrome Measurements?

Quantum error correction requires encoding quantum information into a quantum error correction code and measuring error syndromes to detect and identify possible errors. Quantum fault tolerance typically assumes that syndrome measurements are applied after every logical gate at great expense both in time and number of qubits. Here we demonstrate that not only is this not necessary, but that we ...

Protective immunity against tuberculosis: what does it look like and how do we find it?

Progress towards the development of an effective vaccine against tuberculosis is hampered by the lack of correlative readouts of immune protection, coupled with our limited understanding of the immune mechanisms that determine disease progression versus containment. In this article we discuss the value of microbial readouts of bacterial fitness to probe the host immune environments and determin...
