Mitigating coherent noise using Pauli conjugation by Cai, Z, Xu, X, Benjamin, S

“…One solution is to use twirling to turn coherent noise into incoherent Pauli channels. …”

Randomized Benchmarking beyond Groups by Jianxin Chen, Dawei Ding, Cupjin Huang

“…We specifically consider a class of URB schemes called twirling schemes. For twirling schemes, the postprocessing POVM approximately factorizes into an intermediate channel, inverting maps, and a final measurement. …”

It's now or never / by Matthews, Carole, author

“…Why is it that Chelsea's handsome husband is twirling her round the dance floor, with an expression of utter devotion on his face, while Annie's husband is away on a fishing trip and Lauren's boyfriend is at home with his wife and kids. …”

Potential use of polydimethylsiloxane phantom in acupuncture manipulation practice by Yeonsun Lee, Hyosang Lee, Eun Jung Kim, Seung Deok Lee, Chan Yung Jung

“…Conclusion: PDMS D delivered a haptic sensation that is most similar to that of biological tissues in the case of acu-needle lifting–thrusting and twirling methods. This finding guides the preparation of tissue phantoms for acu-needle studies and acupuncture training.…”

Dramatic Improvement of Trichotillomania with 6 Months of Treatment With N-Acetylcysteine by Lilia Popova BS, BA, Jennifer Mancuso MD

“…We present a case of a 17-year-old male with recurrent hair twirling resulting in patchy alopecia, who improved dramatically on N-acetylcysteine (NAC). …”

“Twhirleds”: Spun and whirled affordances controlling multimodal mobile-ambient environments with reality distortion and synchronized lighting to preserve intuitive alignment by Michael Cohen, Rasika Ranaweera, Bektur Ryskeldiev, Tomohiro Oyama, Aya Hashimoto

“…Poi involves whirling a weight (in this case the smartphone itself) at the end of a tether. Orientation of a twirled device can be metered, and with a communications infrastructure, this streamed azimuthal data can be used to modulate various distributed, synchronous, multimodal displays, including panoramic and photospherical imagery, diffusion of pantophonic and periphonic auditory soundscapes, and mixed virtuality scenes featuring avatars and props animated by real-world twirling. …”

RETRACTED: Spiking Correlation Analysis of Synchronous Spikes Evoked by Acupuncture Mechanical Stimulus by Qing Qin, Ya-Jiao Liu, Bo-Nan Shan, Yan-Qiu Che, Chun-Xiao Han, Ying-Mei Qin, Jiang Wang

“…Results show that reinforcing manipulations (twirling reinforcing and lifting-thrusting reinforcing) can evoke the third-order spike correlation but reducing manipulations (twirling reducing and lifting-thrusting reducing) does not. …”

Entanglement reactivation in separable environments by Stefano Pirandola

“…In any dimension (finite or infinite), we can construct classically correlated ‘twirling’ environments which are entanglement-breaking in the transmission of single systems but entanglement-preserving when two systems are transmitted. …”

The Effect of Kinesio Taping in the Ankle Sprains of Athletes by Mehdi Ghorbani, Bijan Goodarzi

“…At first athletes didn’t use kinesiology tape on their deltoid ligament and did the (Y) balance test in 3 directions, then star twirling test (SEBT) in 8 directions that focused on the center of one plexus. …”

One-Shot Yield-Cost Relations in General Quantum Resource Theories by Ryuji Takagi, Bartosz Regula, Mark M. Wilde

“…Moreover, we introduce a class of channels that generalize the twirling maps encountered in many resource theories, and by directly connecting it with resource quantification, we compute analytically several smoothed resource measures and improve our one-shot yield-cost bound in relevant theories. …”

Mitigating crosstalk errors by randomized compiling: Simulation of the BCS model on a superconducting quantum computer by Hugo Perrin, Thibault Scoquart, Alexander Shnirman, Jörg Schmalian, Kyrylo Snizhko

“…With 135 cnot gates, we work in a regime where crosstalk, as opposed to either Trotterization or qubit decoherence, dominates the error. Our twirling of neighboring qubits is shown to dramatically improve the noise estimation protocol without the need to add new qubits or circuits and allows for a quantitative simulation of the BCS model.…”
