One-shot yield-cost relations in general quantum resource theories by Takagi, Ryuji, Regula, Bartosz, Wilde, Mark M.

“…Although it is well known that the amount of resources that can be asymptotically distilled from a quantum state or channel does not exceed the resource cost needed to produce it, the corresponding relation in the non-asymptotic regime hitherto has not been well understood. Here, we establish a quantitative relation between the one-shot distillable resource yield and dilution cost in terms of transformation errors involved in these processes. …”

Petrogenesis of Permian high-Mg diorites in the northern margin of the North China Craton: Evidence of crust–mantle interaction by Li, M, Xu, X, Palin, RM

“…The Nd-Hf isotopic compositions of the high-Mg diorites are decoupled as a consequence of interactions between subducting sediment-derived fluids and mantle peridotite. In light of the above, we propose a two-stage process for the formation of the Xinhure high-Mg diorite, comprising (1) partial melting of enriched mantle peridotite followed by (2) interaction between mantle-derived high-Mg diorite melts and continental crust-derived melts. …”
