Investigation of tantalum films growth for coplanar resonators with internal quality factors above ten million
Alpha-tantalum on silicon is a promising platform for high-coherence superconducting quantum circuits. However, the growth mechanism of alpha-tantalum on silicon remains poorly understood. We present a comprehensive study on alpha-tantalum films growth on various substrate. The decisive role of a substrate material Debye temperature on phase selection mechanism in tantalum films growth is experimentally confirmed, contradicting the prior assumptions on substrate temperature influence. Crucially…

Simpler is Faster: Practical Distance Reporting by Sorting Along a Space-Filling Curve
Range reporting is a classical problem in computational geometry. A (rectangular) reporting data structure stores a point set $P$ of $n$ points, such that, given a (rectangular) query region $Δ$, it returns all points in $P \cap Δ$. A variety of data structures support such queries with differing asymptotic guarantees such as $k$-d trees, range trees, $R$-trees, and quadtrees. A common variant of range queries are distance reporting queries, where the input is a query point $q$ and a radius $…

'Your Party later said in a post on [!!!??] X: "For those who joined under the previous system last week, please be assured your data and membership is secure and will be migrated across. There is nothing more for you to do at this stage."'
Which, together with Corbyn's ref to the roadmap, which Zarah was following is as close as she'll get to being vindicated.
Let's hope that's an end to it.
