Quantum computation offers unique properties that cannot be paralleled by conventional computers. In particular, qubits may change their state and thus signal the presence of an intruder. This paper develops a proof-of-concept for a quantum honeypot that allows the detection of intruders on reading. The idea is to place quantum sentinels within all resources offered within the honeypot. Additional to classical honeypots, honeypots with quantum sentinels can trace the reading activity of the intruder within any resource. Sentinels can be set to be either visible and accessible to the intruder or hidden and unknown to intruders. Catching the intruder using quantum sentinels has a low theoretical probability per sentinel, but the probability can be increased arbitrarily higher by adding more sentinels. The main contributions of this paper are that the monitoring of the intruder can be carried out at the level of the information unit, such as the bit, and quantum monitoring activity is fully hidden from the intruder. Practical experiments, as performed in this research, show that the error rate of quantum computers has to be considerably reduced before implementations of this concept are feasible.

This paper introduces the Sandbar Detector plugin for Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS), designed to streamline the detection and analysis of riverbed forms, previously hindered by time-consuming manual methods requiring extensive expertise in remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS). The Sandbar Detector plugin, developed in Python, leverages the Sentinel Water Mask (SWM), a reliable remote sensing water index, for precise differentiation between water and land. By integrating SWM with QGIS, the plugin utilises high-resolution data from Sentinel-2 satellites, offering a robust tool for environmental analysis.

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is currently the standard procedure for clinical cancer diagnosis and treatment, but still faces the risks of false negatives and tumor metastasis, as well as time-consuming pathological evaluation procedure. Herein, we proposed a near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) theranostic nanosystem (FLAGC) for rapid, non-invasive, accurate diagnosis and efficient clearance of metastatic lymph nodes in breast cancer. Initialized by chlorin e6 (Ce6), a pH-sensitive amphiphilic amino acid fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-L-histidine (Fmoc-His) was assembled with Gd, luminol, and AgAuSe quantum dots (AAS QDs) to form FLAGC.

Background: For patients with clinically node-positive (cN+) breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), retrieving previously clipped, biopsy-proven positive lymph nodes during sentinel lymph node biopsy [i.e., targeted axillary dissection (TAD)] may reduce false negative rates.

This research aimed to develop natural plant systems to serve as biological sentinels for the detection of organophosphate pesticides in the environment. The working hypothesis was that the presence of the pesticide in the environment caused changes in the content of pigments and in the photosynthetic functioning of the plant, which could be evaluated non-destructively through the analysis of reflected light and emitted fluorescence. The objective of the research was to furnish in vivo indicators derived from spectroscopic parameters, serving as early alert signals for the presence of organophosphates in the environment.

The objective of our study was to use quantum dots for the purpose of seeing and detecting C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) inside the tissue of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) and primary tumors. This endeavor aimed to enhance the accuracy of predicting the condition of non-sentinel lymph nodes and provide valuable insights for making informed treatment choices. We analyzed breast cancer patients who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy followed by axillary lymph node removal due to one or two positive sentinel lymph nodes at the Second People's Hospital of Wuhu, China, between August 2018 and July 2022.
