Maximal nonlocality from maximal entanglement and mutually unbiased bases, and self-testing of two-qutrit quantum systems

Bell inequalities are an important tool in device-independent quantum information processing because their violation can serve as a certificate of relevant quantum spoon blank properties.Probably the best known example of a Bell inequality is due to Clauser, Horne, Shimony and Holt (CHSH), which is defined in the simplest scenario involving two dic

Constraints on superoxide mediated formation of manganese oxides

Manganese (Mn) oxides are among the most reactive sorbents and oxidants within the environment, where they play a central role in the cycling of nutrients, metals, and carbon.Recent discoveries have identified superoxide (O2-) (both of biogenic and abiogenic origin) as an effective oxidant of Mn(II) leading to the formation of Mn oxides.Here we exa
