Solar filaments are dark structures on the solar disk, with an elongated spine and several barbs extending out from the spine. When appearing above the solar limb, a filament is called a prominence, with several feet extending down to the solar surface. It was generally thought that filament barbs are simply the prominence feet veering away from the spine and down to the solar surface. However, it was recently noticed that there might be another dynamic type of barbs, which were proposed to be due to filament thread longitudinal oscillation. If this is the case, the dynamic barbs would not extend down to the solar surface. With the quadrature observations of a filament barb on 2011 June 5 from the {\it Solar Dynamics Observatory} and the {\it STEREO} satellites, we confirm that the filament barb is due to filament thread longitudinal oscillations. Viewed from the side, the filament barb looks like an appendix along the spine of the prominence, and does not extend down to the solar surface as a foot.

    A large empirical study finds that the Inverse test, which reverses the expected circuit and checks for the all-zero state, detects quantum circuit mutations with fewer shots than statistical or Swap tests.
