Cutoff for mixtures of permuted Markov chains: Reversible case

We investigate the mixing properties of a model of reversible Markov chains in random environment, which notably contains the simple random walk on the superposition of a deterministic graph and a second graph whose vertex set has been permuted uniformly at random. It generalizes...

On the power of multipartite entanglement for pseudotelepathy

As early as 1935, Schrödinger recognized entanglement as “not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics, the one that enforces its entire departure from classical lines of thought.” Indeed, most remarkable phenomena in quantum information science, such as quant...

Association of cryptic pregnancy and alcohol consumption with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder: a nationwide population-based study of 5 million women in 2015–2022

Cryptic pregnancy (CP) also known as pregnancy denial remains an underexplored risk factor for FASD. To our knowledge, there is no available epidemiologic data in the scientific literature exploring the association between CP and FASD. This study aimed to examine the association...
