RESUMO
Quantum secret sharing (QSS) represents the fusion of quantum mechanics principles with secret information sharing, allowing a sender to distribute a secret among receivers for collective recovery. This paper introduces the concept of quantum anonymous secret sharing (QASS) to enhance the practicality of such protocols. We propose a QASS protocol leveraging W states, ensuring both recover-security and anonymity of shared secrets. Our protocol undergoes rigorous evaluation verifying their accuracy and fortifying their security against scenarios involving the active adversary. Additionally, acknowledging the imperfections inherent in real-world communication channels, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of protocol security and efficacy in noisy quantum networks. Our investigations reveal that W states exhibit good performance in mitigating noise interference, making them apt for practical applications.
RESUMO
A new microfluidic device with liquid-droplet merging and droplet storage functions for the controlled release of drugs from microcapsules is reported. A switching channel is designed and integrated within the microfluidic device, facilitating the generation and capturing of uniform droplets by the storage chambers. The drug model is the MnCO3 microparticle, which is encapsulated by a microcapsule and fabricated using a simple layer-by-layer nanoassembly process. The merging function is used for dynamically adding the control solution into the droplets, which contain drugs within the microcapsules (DWµCs) and water. The storage chambers are used for collecting DWµCs-laden droplets so that the controlled-drug release in specific droplets can be monitored for an extended period of time, which has been experimentally implemented successfully. This technology could offer a promising technical platform for the long-term observation and studies of drug effects on specific cells in a controlled manner, which is especially useful for single cell analysis.
