India: tobacco toothpaste squeezed out

Tobacco Control in India

Heisenberg-Limited Qubit Read-Out with Two-Mode Squeezed Light.

We show how to use two-mode squeezed light to exponentially enhance cavity-based dispersive qubit measurement. Our scheme enables true Heisenberg-limited scaling of the measurement, and crucially, it is not restricted to small dispersive couplings or unrealistically long measurement times. It involves coupling a qubit dispersively to two cavities and making use of a symmetry in the dynamics of ...

India: promoting tobacco via "research".

recently been using ''research'' to cloak illicit cigarette promotions inside one of India's premier educational institutions, Punjab University (PU) at Chandigarh. Since December 2004, India has banned the sale of tobacco products within a radius of 100 yards (91.4 m) of all educational institutions. In April 2006 GPI reached inside PU with a team of young people, each paid 1000 rupees (US$22)...

Tobacco survey among youth in South India.

BACKGROUND Smoking of cigarettes and, particularly, of "bidis" (which consist of about 0.2-0.3 gm of tobacco rolled up in the leaf of another plant (temburni) has been widespread for many decades among men in India. There have, however, been no substantial studies on the prevalence of tobacco use among youth in India. Hence a Global Youth Tobacco Survey was conducted in schools in Tamil Nadu as...
