A recent study has realized multipartite entanglement on an optical chip for the first time, constituting a significant advance for scalable quantum information. The paper, titled "Continuous-variable ...

Multipartite viruses have a strange lifestyle. Their genome is split up into different viral particles that, in principle, propagate independently. Completing the replication cycle, however, requires ...

New advances in entanglement witnesses allow researchers to verify genuine multipartite entanglement even in noisy, high‑dimensional and computationally relevant quantum states Quantum entanglement ...

Recently, Prof. LI Chuanfeng, Prof. HUANG Yunfeng, Prof. CHEN Geng, and their colleagues from Prof. GUO Guangcan's group at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese ...

Multipartite or multicomponent viruses—which stow parts of their infectious payloads in separate particles—have been known to infect plants and fungi. Multipartite-style infections even afflict ...

For a virus, a compact genome neatly packaged in a coat of proteins, survival is all about invading a cell, taking over the protein-making machinery to replicate itself and then spreading to other ...

Being in between living and non-living, viruses are, in general, strange. Among viruses, multipartite viruses are among the most peculiar -- their genome is not packed into one, but many, particles.
