The majority of the human genome consists of repeated sequences. An important type of repeated sequences common in the human genome are tandem repeats, where identical copies appear next to each other. For example, in the sequence…

Quantum error correction is expected to be essential in large-scale quantum technologies. However, the substantial overhead of qubits it requires is thought to greatly limit its utility in smaller, near-term devices. Here we introduce a new…
In a DNA sequence, we have the celebrated Watson-Crick complement $\overline{T}=A$, $\overline{A}=T$, $\overline{C}=G$, and $\overline{G}=C$. Given an integer $m\ge 2$, a secondary structure in a DNA sequence refers to the existence of two…
