Abstract
Parity detection is essential in quantum error correction. Error syndromes coded in parity are detected routinely by sequential CNOT gates. Here, different from the standard CNOT-gate based scheme, we propose a reliable joint parity measurement (JPM) scheme inspired by stimulated emission. By controlling the collective behavior between data qubits and syndrome qubit, we realize the parity detection and experimentally implement the weight-2 and weight-4 JPM scheme in a tunable coupling superconducting circuit, which shows comparable performance to the CNOT scheme. Moreover, with the aid of the coupling tunability in quantum system, this scheme can be further utilized for specific joint entangling state preparation (JEP) with high fidelity, such as multiqubit entangled state preparation for non-adjacent qubits. This strategy, combined with the superconducting qubit system with tunable couplers, reveals tremendous potential and applications in the surface code architecture without adding extra circuit elements. Besides, the method we develop here can readily be applied in large-scale quantum computation and quantum simulation.

Abstract
Multiple ordered states have been observed in unconventional superconductors. Here, we apply scanning tunneling microscopy to probe the intrinsic ordered states in FeSe, the structurally simplest iron-based superconductor. Besides the well-known nematic order along [100] direction, we observe a checkerboard charge order in the iron lattice, which we name a [110] electronic order in FeSe. The [110] electronic order is robust at 77 K, accompanied with the rather weak [100] nematic order. At 4.5 K, The [100] nematic order is enhanced, while the [110] electronic order forms domains with reduced correlation length. In addition, the collective [110] order is gaped around [−40, 40] meV at 4.5 K. The observation of this exotic electronic order may shed new light on the origin of the ordered states in FeSe. Understanding the relation of different electronic orders in high temperature superconductors is of fundamental interest. Here, the authors observe a checkerboard charge order along [110] direction of FeSe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite a recent increase in the HIV/AIDS epidemic among young people in China, youth-specific HIV data are limited. METHODS In total, 56 621 individuals with HIV/AIDS, aged 15-24 years, registered in the Case Reporting System of China between 2005 and 2012 and having complete spatial information were included in the present analysis. Spatial autocorrelation (general and local) and space-time scanning were performed using the ArcGIS 10.2 and SaTScan 9.3 software, respectively. RESULTS During 2005-2012, the number of reported HIV/AIDS cases and the proportion of HIV cases increased while the proportion of AIDS cases decreased. Sexual contact became the predominant route of transmission in later years. Spatial analysis showed marked geographical variations in HIV infection among young people throughout China during 2005-2012. The number of new hotspots increased over time. They were mainly localized to southeastern coastal areas, southwestern frontier provinces or autonomous regions (of Guangxi, Yunnan and Sichuan) and Beijing municipality. Later these hotspots disappeared and new hotspots were found in the northeast of the country. Significant clusters of HIV-positive cases were identified in three different time periods, which indicated high HIV transmission among young Chinese people in the recent past. The risk of HIV infection was highest in the first cluster (2009-2012; this cluster was the largest in size) covering the provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan, the Chongqing municipality, Guangxi, and the province of Sichuan. The second cluster (2010-2012) was mostly located in Shanghai, South Jiangsu, Zhejiang and South Anhui, while the third cluster (2010-2012) was located in Beijing and Tianjin. CONCLUSIONS Target-specific comprehensive behavioural interventions are urgently needed to contain the HIV epidemic among young people.

Abstract
The prevalence of schistosomiasis due to S. japonicum is focally high in the lake regions of China, and reinfection after treatment with praziquantel is frequent. In this study, the total reinfection rate among 740 treated persons was 12.9%. Factors associated with reinfection were age and sex, water contact and the distance from homes to snail habitats. The reinfection rate was higher among men (15.0%) than among women (8.3%). The frequency of water contact is the main factor in reinfection. Among persons with more than 120 and 10-120 water-contact days, the reinfection rates were 24.0% and 16.4%, respectively. The reinfection rates among people living 0 m, 500 m and 1000 m from snail-ridden areas were 14.1%, 8.3% and 4.3%, respectively. Fishing was the most frequent reason for water-contact, followed by herding animals and playing in water; reinfection rates among those engaging in these activities were 36.4%, 16.3% and 22.9%, respectively. Reinfection is clearly a problem, and since much of it is connected with essential economic activities, the cycle of infection and reinfection is not likely to be broken until effective methods for eliminating reservoirs of infection are developed.
