Calculating error-free more easily with two codes
Physics - Jan 24
Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all'operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team from the University of Innsbruck, together with a team from RWTH Aachen and Forschungszentrum Jülich, has developed a method and implemented it experimentally for the first time, with which a quantum computer can switch back and forth between two correction codes and thus perform all computing operations protected against errors.

New combination immunotherapy for melanoma and breast cancer
A research team at the Medical University of Vienna led by Maria Sibilia has investigated a new combination therapy against cancer. This therapy employs systemic administration of the tissue hormone interferon-I combined with local application of Imiquimod. This combination showed promising results in topically accessible tumors like melanoma and breast cancer models: The therapy led to the death of tumor cells at the treated sites and simultaneously activated the adaptive immune system to fight even distant metastases.

A kind of 'umbilical cord' between different quantum states can be found in some materials. Researchers at TU Wien have now shown that this 'umbilical cord' is generic to many materials. It is a basic principle of quantum theory: sometimes certain physical quantities can only assume very specific values; all the values in between are simply not permitted by physics.

Ice cores from the Arctic made it possible to reconstruct lead pollution in ancient Rome An international team of scientists with the participation of the University of Vienna examined three ice cores to determine lead pollution between 500 BCE and 600 CE in the Roman Empire. Lead has many negative effects on human health, one of which is a reduction in the intelligence quotient - the scientists focused on this in this study and were able to determine that lead pollution led to a reduction in IQ of 2 to 3 points among people in ancient Rome.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: Mood alterations identified as a possible early symptom
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a very rare neurodegenerative disease that is fatal within a few months and still poses many questions to scientists. To date, no specific symptoms are known that precede the onset of the disease. A suspected diagnosis can usually be made on the basis of a particular combination of symptoms and examination findings, but can only be confirmed after the death of the affected person.
