The robust operation of quantum entanglement states is crucial for applications in quantum information, computing, and communications. However, it has always been a great challenge to complete such a task because of decoherence and disorder. Here, we propose theoretically and demonstrate experimentally an effective scheme to realize robust operation of quantum entanglement states by designing quadruple degeneracy exceptional points. By encircling the exceptional points on two overlapping Riemann energy surfaces, we have realized a chiral switch for entangled states with high fidelity. Owing to the topological protection conferred by the Riemann surface structure, this switching of chirality exhibits strong robustness against perturbations in the encircling path. Furthermore, we have experimentally validated such a scheme on a quantum walk platform. Our work opens up a new way for the application of non-Hermitian physics in the field of quantum information.

Methotrexate (MTX), a widely administered medication for treating an array of tumors and autoimmune disorders, necessitates stringent monitoring due to the potential for severe adverse effects associated with its high dosage. Nevertheless, the existing methods for monitoring MTX are often intricate, time-consuming and incur significant costs. In this work, we constructed a controlled release sensor, harnessing the versatility of a personal glucose meter (PGM), which had been devised for the swift detection of MTX.

Background: Reliable and selective detection of dopamine is crucial for the early diagnosis of various diseases. Transition metal based-nanozymes have shown great promise in the field of colorimetric detection of dopamine due to their remarkable stability and exceptional catalytic efficiency. However, these transition metal-based nanozymes typically function through a chromogenic reaction that relies on additional organic substrates, such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, to generate a detectable signal.

Conductive hydrogels with stable sensing performance are highly required in soft electronic devices. However, these hydrogels tend to solidify and experience structural damage at sub-zero temperatures, leading to material breakdown and device malfunction. The main challenge lies in effectively designing the micro/nano-structure to enhance mechanical properties and stable strain sensing while preventing freezing in hydrogels.
