High-throughput DNA melt measurements enable improved models of DNA folding thermodynamics by Yuxi Ke, Eesha Sharma, Hannah K. Wayment-Steele, Winston R. Becker, Anthony Ho, Emil Marklund, William J. Greenleaf

“…Current methods for predicting stability from DNA sequence use nearest-neighbor models that struggle to accurately capture the diverse sequence dependence of secondary structural motifs beyond Watson-Crick base pairs, likely due to insufficient experimental data. In this work, we introduce a massively parallel method, Array Melt, that uses fluorescence-based quenching signals to measure the equilibrium stability of millions of DNA hairpins simultaneously on a repurposed Illumina sequencing flow cell. …”

Spectroscopy and Modeling of ^{171}Yb Rydberg States for High-Fidelity Two-Qubit Gates by Michael Peper, Yiyi Li, Daniel Y. Knapp, Mila Bileska, Shuo Ma, Genyue Liu, Pai Peng, Bichen Zhang, Sebastian P. Horvath, Alex P. Burgers, Jeff D. Thompson

“…We then use these models to compute interaction potentials between two Yb atoms, and find excellent agreement with direct measurements in an optical tweezer array. From the computed interaction potential, we identify an anomalous Förster resonance that likely degraded the fidelity of previous entangling gates in ^{171}Yb using F=3/2 Rydberg states. …”
