Abstract In the coming few decades, projected increases in global temperature and humidity are generally expected to exacerbate human exposure climate extremes (e.g., humid-heat rainfall extremes). Despite growing risk of stress (measured by wet-bulb temperature), it has received less attention East Africa, where arid semi-arid climatic conditions prevail. Moreover, no consensus yet been reache...

Suppressing noise in physical systems is of fundamental importance. As quantum computers mature, error correcting codes (QECs) will be adopted order to suppress errors any desired level. However the noisy, intermediate-scale (NISQ) era, complexity and scale required adopt even smallest QEC prohibitive: a single logical qubit needs encoded into many thousands qubits. Here we show that, for cruci...
