Quantum Error Correction Decoheres Noise.

Typical studies of quantum error correction assume probabilistic Pauli noise, largely because it is relatively easy to analyze and simulate. Consequently, the effective logical noise due to physically realistic coherent errors is relatively unknown. Here, we prove that encoding a system in a stabilizer code and measuring error syndromes decoheres errors, that is, causes coherent errors to converge toward probabilistic Pauli errors, even when no recovery operations are applied.

Regenerative nanobots based on magnetic layered double hydroxide for azo dye removal and degradation.

A highly regenerative multifunctional nanobot system, using FeO@SiO@MgFe-LDH nanoparticles, is developed for efficient removal of waterborne azo dyes and pharmaceuticals. Efficient capture of pollutants, powerful Fenton degradation, and superior materials regeneration lead to a simple and cost-effective wastewater remediation solution.

Chemisorption Mechanism of DNA on Mg/Fe Layered Double Hydroxide Nanoparticles: Insights into Engineering Effective SiRNA Delivery Systems.

Layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (LDH NPs) have attracted interest as an effective gene delivery vehicle in biomedicine. Recent advances in clinic trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Mg/Fe LDHs for hyperphosphatemia treatment, but their feasibility for gene delivery has not been systematically evaluated. As a starting point, we aimed to study the interaction between oligo-DNA and Mg/Fe LDH NPs.

Adsorption of doxorubicin on citrate-capped gold nanoparticles: insights into engineering potent chemotherapeutic delivery systems.

Gold nanomaterials have received great interest for their use in cancer theranostic applications over the past two decades. Many gold nanoparticle-based drug delivery system designs rely on adsorbed ligands such as DNA or cleavable linkers to load therapeutic cargo. The heightened research interest was recently demonstrated in the simple design of nanoparticle-drug conjugates wherein drug molecules are directly adsorbed onto the as-synthesized nanoparticle surface.
