Analog quantum simulators (AQS) will likely be the first nontrivial application of quantum technology for predictive simulation. However, there remain questions regarding the degree of confidence ...that can be placed in the results of AQS since they do not naturally incorporate error correction. Specifically, how do we know whether an analog simulation of a quantum model will produce predictions that agree with the ideal model in the presence of inevitable imperfections? At the same time there is a widely held expectation that certain quantum simulation questions will be robust to errors and perturbations in the underlying hardware. Resolving these two points of view is a critical step in making the most of this promising technology. In this work we formalize the notion of AQS reliability by determining sensitivity of AQS outputs to underlying parameters, and formulate conditions for robust simulation. Our approach naturally reveals the importance of model symmetries in dictating the robust properties. To demonstrate the approach, we characterize the robust features of a variety of quantum many-body models.
To analyze the prevalence and the related factors of dyslipidemia in 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) patients.
A total of 205 patients with 21-OHD were recruited in Peking Union Medical College ...Hospital from January 2016 to January 2018. The basic information, glucocorticoid replacement therapy, and laboratory examination results of patients were obtained from medical records. The genotypes of CYP21A2 were identified by Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification. The prevalence of dyslipidemia among 21-OHD patients, basic information and related hormone levels of 21-OHD patients with different status of blood lipid were described. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of dyslipidemia in 21-OHD patients.
The age of subjects was 17.0 (8.3, 25.0) years old, including 51 males (24.9%). According to CYP21A2 genotypes, there were 16 cases in Null group, 26 cases in Group A, 105 cases in group B, 27 cases in group C, and 31 cases in group D. The incidence of
A strong first-order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) can be induced by light new physics weakly coupled to the Higgs. This study focuses on a scenario in which the first-order EWPT is driven by a ...light scalar s with a mass between 15 and 60 GeV. A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson into a pair of spin-zero particles, h → ss, where the s-boson decays into b-quarks promptly is presented. The search is performed in events where the Higgs is produced in association with a Z boson, giving rise to a signature of two charged leptons (electrons or muons) and multiple jets from b-quark decays. The analysis is considering a scenario of analyzing 5000 fb−1 e+e− collision data at √ s = 240 GeV from the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). This study with 4b final state conclusively tests the expected sensitivity of probing the light scalars in the CEPC experiment. Upper limits are set on the Higgs to double singlet cross-section times branching ration with 95% CL. The ratio of these limits over the SM production cross-section is estimated to be around 5 × 10−4 for the mass range of 15–60 GeV. The sensitivity reach is significantly higher than that can be achieved at the LHC.
