We consider the problem of reconstructing global quantum states from local data. Because the reconstruction problem has many solutions in general, we consider the reconstructed state of maximum global entropy consistent with the local data. We show that unique ground states of local Hamiltonians are exactly reconstructed as the maximal entropy state. More generally, we show that if the state in question is a ground state of a local Hamiltonian with a degenerate space of locally indistinguishable ground states, then the maximal entropy state is close to the ground state projector. We also show that local reconstruction is possible for thermal states of local Hamiltonians. Finally, we discuss a procedure to certify that the reconstructed state is close to the true global state. We call the entropy of our reconstructed maximum entropy state the "reconstruction entropy," and we discuss its relation to emergent geometry in the context of holographic duality.

Shape-Dependent Structural Order of Red Blood Cells.

Langmuir

January 2025

Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, United States.

In this work, we show how shape matters for the ordering of red blood cells (RBCs) at a water-air interface for both artificially rigidified and sphered cells as a model system for hereditary spherocytosis. We report enhanced long-range order for spherical RBCs over disk-shaped RBCs arising from the increased local ordering of spheres relative to disks. We show that rigidity has a greater effect on the radial distribution of spherical vs disk-shaped RBCs by slightly increasing the average distance between cells.

Swift and efficient enrichment and isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial for enhancing precise disease diagnostics and therapeutic strategies, as well as elucidating the complex biological roles of EVs. Conventional methods of isolating EVs are often marred by lengthy and laborious processes. In this study, we introduce an innovative approach to enrich and isolate EVs by leveraging the capabilities of DNA nanotechnology.
