Toward efficient quantum computation of molecular ground‐state energies

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs) represent a promising approach to computing molecular ground states and energies on modern quantum computers. These approaches use a classical computer to optimize the parameters of a trial wave function, while the quantum computer simulates the energy by preparing and measuring a set of bitstring ...

Electronic‐Free Particle Robots Communicate through Architected Tentacles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a new class of particle robots that communicate without any electronic components. Their communication protocols are encoded in the geometry of their tentacles are and realized solely through physical contact. Building on these simple communication schemes, electronic‐free particle robots can achieve a range of collective ...

An Ultrathin and Lightweight Soft Inflatable Actuator for Natural Tactile Sensory Feedback

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight, ultrathin soft actuator mimics natural touch by delivering strong, multimodal haptic feedback through pressure and vibration. Tested on both able‐bodied individuals and amputees, it achieves high sensory precision in a compact form. Its simplicity, power, and adaptability hint at transformative applications in prosthetics, immersive ...

A Literature Survey on Potential Private User Information Leakage in Metaverse Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This survey explores potential privacy risks in the Metaverse, focusing on personal data inferred from virtual reality headsets embedded with passive brain‐computer interfaces (BCI). It reviews how age, gender, and ethnicity can be predicted using neurophysiological signals, (e.g., electroencephalogram). The survey also explores future threats from non‐
