Quantum Internet: key technologies and future prospect by Zishan LIU, Junsen LAI, Wenyu ZHAO

“…The quantum Internet integrates quantum computing, quantum measurement and communication, which can be described as the future goal of the evolution of quantum information technology.However, due to the restrictions of the laws of quantum mechanics, such as quantum teleportation, quantum entanglement, quantum measurement and non-cloning, which all pose new challenges to the quantum networking design.The basic concepts and development paths of the quantum Internet were firstly introduced, and the implementation differences between the classical network and the quantum network were explained.Considering the difference between quantum communication and the traditional communication, the key technologies for realizing the quantum Internet including the quantum physical devices, networking protocol, quantum decoherence and quantum relay were introduced, and finally the prospect and suggestions for developing quantum Internet was presented.…”

The Synergistic Effects of the Particle Elongation Index and Flat Index on Aggregate Strength and Dilatancy: A Discrete Element Method Study by Yiming Liu, Zhangshuaihang Cao, Haijun Mao

“…The results show that (1) the regulation of pore structure by morphological parameters presents non-linear characteristics, and (2) the evolution of peak shear strength is predominantly governed by morphological anisotropy. (3) The parabolic relationship between the maximum dilatancy angle and the morphological parameters is shown. (4) The micro mechanical analysis reveals that EI/FI parameters have limited influence on the statistical distribution characteristics of the contact force chain, but have a significant regulatory effect on the anisotropic evolution of the force-chain network.…”

Enhanced ventilation of Eastern North Atlantic Oxygen Minimum Zone with deglacial slowdown of Meridional Overturning by Sofía Barragán-Montilla, Heather J. H. Johnstone, Stefan Mulitza, Dharma A. Reyes Macaya, Babette A. A. Hoogakker, Heiko Pälike

“…However, how this shallow circulation interacts with changes in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) remains unclear. Here, we present a deglacial and high-resolution paleo-oxygenation record (combined bottom and pore water) from the margin of ETNA OMZ (GeoB9512-5, 793 m water depth), which registers more strongly oxygenated periods during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), two parts of the Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1), and during the Younger Dryas (YD). …”
