Faster-than-Clifford simulations of entanglement purification circuits and their full-stack optimization by Vaishnavi L. Addala, Shu Ge, Stefan Krastanov

“…The resulting purification circuits are the best-known for finite-size noisy hardware and can be fine-tuned for specific error-models. Furthermore, we design purification circuits that shape the correlations of errors in the purified pairs such that the performance of potential error-correcting codes is greatly improved.…”

Chemical- and photo-activation of protein-protein thiol-ene coupling for protein profiling by André Campaniҫo, Marcin Baran, Andrew G. Bowie, Daniel B. Longley, Timothy Harrison, Joanna F. McGouran

“…Faster thiol-ene reaction was observed as the cysteine and alkene were brought into proximity by a binding event prior to activation, leading to quicker adduct formation in the protein model system than the chemical models. …”
