More Details: We present the first joint analysis of the power spectrum and bispectrum using the Data Release 1 (DR1) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), focusing on Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) and quasars (QSOs) across a redshift range of $0.4\leq z\leq2.1$. By combining the two- and three-point statistics, we are able to partially break the degeneracy between the logarithmic growth rate, $f(z)$, and the amplitude of dark matter fluctuations, $\sigma_\textrm{s8}(z)$, which cannot be measured separately in analyses that only involve the power spectrum. In comparison with the (fiducial) Planck $\Lambda$CDM cosmology we obtain $f/f^\textrm{fid}=\{0.888_{-0.089}^{+0.186},0.977_{-0.220}^{+0.182},1.030_{-0.085}^{+0.368}\}$, $\sigma_{s8}/\sigma^\textrm{fid}_\textrm{s8}=\{1.224_{-0.133}^{+0.091},1.071_{-0.163}^{+0.278},1.000_{-0.223}^{+0.088}\}$ respectively for the three LRG redshift bins, corresponding to a cumulative 10.1\% constraint on $f$, and of 8.4\% on $\sigma_\textrm{s8}$, including the systematic error budget. The cumulative constraints for the ShapeFit compressed parameters from our joint power spectrum-bispectrum analysis are respectively $\sigma_{\alpha_\textrm{iso}}=0.9\%$ (9\% improvement with respect to our power spectrum-only analysis); $\sigma_{\alpha_\textrm{AP}}=2.3\%$ (no improvement with respect to power spectrum-only analysis, which is expected given that the bispectrum monopole has no significant anisotropic signal); $\sigma_{f\sigma_\textrm{s8}}=5.1\%$ (9\% improvement); $\sigma_{m+n}=2.3\%$ (11\% improvement). These results are fully consistent with the main DESI power spectrum analysis, demonstrating the robustness of the DESI cosmological constraints, and compatible with Planck $\Lambda$CDM cosmology.
