description: We propose a complete architecture for deterministic generation of entangled multiphoton states. Our approach utilizes periodic driving of a quantum-dot emitter and an efficient light-matter interface enabled by a photonic crystal waveguide. We assess the quality of the photonic states produced from a real system by including all intrinsic experimental imperfections. Importantly, the protocol is robust against the nuclear spin bath dynamics due to a naturally built-in refocussing method reminiscent to spin echo. We demonstrate the feasibility of producing Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and one-dimensional cluster states with fidelities and generation rates exceeding those achieved with conventional 'fusion' methods in current state-of-the-art experiments. The proposed hardware constitutes a scalable and resource-efficient approach towards implementation of measurement-based quantum communication and computing.

description: One of the major difficulties for cooperative, decentralized information dissemination in vehicular networks is the heavily varying node density, which can lead to capacity issues of the wireless channel when many vehicles are driving or standing closely together. At the same time, a number of applications do not require exact information from all participating nodes, but higher-level aggregated information. For example, reports on road conditions or on flow of traffic can be aggregated before further dissemination, since remote drivers just need to know a coarse-grained picture of the situation. In this paper, we propose an information aggregation framework using the example of cooperative traffic congestion detection. The difference of our aggregation framework compared to other approaches is that it completely abandons any predefined structures such as grids and any group establishment. First evaluation results show that our approach works well for average speed dissemination on a highway.

description: Inspired by the complexity and diversity of biological neurons, a quadratic neuron is proposed to replace the inner product in the current neuron with a simplified quadratic function. Employing such a novel type of neurons offers a new perspective on developing deep learning. When analyzing quadratic neurons, we find that there exists a function such that a heterogeneous network can approximate it well with a polynomial number of neurons but a purely conventional or quadratic network needs an exponential number of neurons to achieve the same level of error. Encouraged by this inspiring theoretical result on heterogeneous networks, we directly integrate conventional and quadratic neurons in an autoencoder to make a new type of heterogeneous autoencoders. To our best knowledge, it is the first heterogeneous autoencoder that is made of different types of neurons. Next, we apply the proposed heterogeneous autoencoder to unsupervised anomaly detection for tabular data and bearing fault signals. The anomaly detection faces difficulties such as data unknownness, anomaly feature heterogeneity, and feature unnoticeability, which is suitable for the proposed heterogeneous autoencoder. Its high feature representation ability can characterize a variety of anomaly data (heterogeneity), discriminate the anomaly from the normal (unnoticeability), and accurately learn the distribution of normal samples (unknownness). Experiments show that heterogeneous autoencoders perform competitively compared to other state-of-the-art models.

description: For both continuous-time and discrete-time Markov Chains, we provide criteria for inverse problems of classical types of ergodicity: (ordinary) erogodicity, algebraic ergodicity, exponential ergodicity and strong ergodicity. Our criteria are in terms of the existence of solutions to inequalities involving the $Q$-matrix (or transition matrix $P$ in time-discrete case) of the process. Meanwhile, these criteria are applied to some examples and provide "universal" treatment, including single birth processes and several multi-dimensional models.

description: With the advent of cloud-based quantum computing, it has become vital to provide strong guarantees that computations delegated by clients to quantum service providers have been executed faithfully. Secure - blind and verifiable - Delegated Quantum Computing (SDQC) has emerged as one of the key approaches to address this challenge, yet current protocols lack at least one of the following three ingredients: composability, noise-robustness and modularity.
 To tackle this question, our paper lays out the fundamental structure of SDQC protocols, namely mixing two components: the computation which the client would like the server to perform and tests that are designed to detect a server's malicious behaviour. Using this abstraction, our main technical result is a set of sufficient conditions on these components which imply the security and noise-robustness of generic SDQC protocols in the composable Abstract Cryptography framework. This is done by establishing a correspondence between these security properties and the error-detection capabilities of the test computations. Changing the types of tests and how they are mixed with the client's computation automatically yields new SDQC protocols with different security and noise-robustness capabilities.
 This approach thereby provides the desired modularity as our sufficient conditions on test computations simplify the steps required to prove the security of the protocols and allows to focus on the design and optimisation of test rounds to specific situations. We showcase this by systematising the search for improved SDQC protocols for Bounded-error Quantum Polynomial-time computations. The resulting protocols do not require more hardware on the server's side than what is necessary to blindly delegate the computation without verification, and they outperform all previously known results.

description: Recent regulatory action provided access to large chunks of spectrum for low spectral power density ultra-wideband communication and sensing devices, yet use of this spectrum currently lags behind expectations. The authors propose a simple migration path suitable for low-cost analog audio and video distribution. It uses FM modulation of the clock signal to an impulse radio pulse generator and a simple receiver based on a rectifier or squaring device which retrieves the FM modulated signal. Using previously developed IR-UWB components (an FCC-compliant monolithic pulse generator, a 3.1 - 10.6 GHz low-noise amplifier and wideband antennas) plus discrete receiver components, a proof-of-concept experiment was conducted with a 99.4 MHz carrier frequency FM signal. Furthermore it is shown that the receiver performance can be further improved by properly terminating the higher-order signal components after the rectifier.

description: This letter presents a circuit to provide binary phase shift keying to ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse transmitters. The circuit is based on a Gilbert-cell multiplier and uses active on-chip balun and unbalanced-to-balanced converters for single-ended to single-ended operation. Detailed measurements of the circuit show a gain ripple of +/- 1 dB at an overall gain of -2 dB, an input reflection below -12 dB, an output reflection below -18 dB, a group delay variation below 6 ps and a -1 dB input compression point of more than 1 dBm in both switching states over the full 3.1 - 10.6 GHz UWB frequency range. A time domain measurement verifies the switching operation using an FCC-compliant impulse generator. The circuit is fabricated in a 0.8 µm Si/SiGe HBTtechnology, consumes 31.4 mA at a 3.2 V supply and has a size of 510 x 490 µm² including pads. It can be used in UWB systems using pulse correlation reception or spectral spreading.

description: Primordial black holes (PBHs) can be produced by a range of mechanisms in the early universe. A particular formation channel that connects PBHs with inflationary phenomenology invokes enhanced primordial curvature perturbations at small scales. In this paper, we examine how rapidly the background can transition between different values of the parameters of the Hubble hierarchy in the context of single-clock inflation, which must ultimately derive from a consistent derivative expansion for the background inflaton field. We discuss artefacts associated with instant or very rapid transitions, and consider the impact on the steepest power spectrum growth and the formation of PBHs. In particular, we highlight the robustness of the $k^4$ steepest growth previously found for single-field inflation with conservatively smoothed transitions and limits on how much the amplitude of the power spectrum can grow, and demonstrate that the PBH mass distribution is sensitive to the artefacts, which go away when the transitions are smoothed. We also show that the mass distribution is relatively insensitive to the steepness of the growth and subsequent decay of the power spectrum, depending primarily on the peak amplitude and the presence of any plateaus that last more than an e-fold. The shape of the power spectrum can of course be constrained by other tracers, and so understanding the physical limitations on its shape remains a pertinent question.

description: Modern communication systems and information technology create significant new threats to information privacy. In this paper, we discuss the need for proper privacy protection in cooperative intelligent transportation systems (cITS), one instance of such systems. We outline general principles for data protection and their legal basis and argue why pure legal protection is insufficient. Strong privacy-enhancing technologies need to be deployed in cITS to protect user data while it is generated and processed. As data minimization cannot always prevent the need for disclosing relevant personal information, we introduce the new concept of mandatory enforcement of privacy policies. This concept empowers users and data subjects to tightly couple their data with privacy policies and rely on the system to impose such policies onto any data processors. We also describe the PRECIOSA Privacy-enforcing Runtime Architecture that exemplifies our approach. Moreover, we show how an application can utilize this architecture by applying it to a pay as you drive (PAYD) car insurance scenario.

description: We show that a large multiplicative subgroup of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ cannot be decomposed into $A+A$ or $A+B+C$ nontrivially. We also find new families of multiplicative subgroups that cannot be decomposed as the sum of two sets nontrivially. In particular, our results extensively generalize the results of Sárközy and Shkredov on the additive decomposition of the set of quadratic residues modulo a prime.

description: Territorial privacy is an old concept for privacy of the personal space dating back to the 19th century. Despite its former relevance, territorial privacy has been neglected in recent years, while privacy research and legislation mainly focused on the issue of information privacy. However, with the prospect of smart and ubiquitous environments, territorial privacy deserves new attention. Walls, as boundaries between personal and public spaces, will be insufficient to guard territorial privacy when our environments are permeated with numerous computing and sensing devices, that gather and share real-time information about us. Territorial privacy boundaries spanning both the physical and virtual world are required for the demarcation of personal spaces in smart environments. In this paper, we analyze and discuss the issue of territorial privacy in smart environments. We further propose a real-time user-centric observation model to describe multimodal observation channels of multiple physical and virtual observers. The model facilitates the definition of a territorial privacy boundary by separating desired from undesired observers, regardless of whether they are physically present in the user´s private territory or virtually participating in it. Moreover, we outline future research challenges and identify areas of work that require attention in the context of territorial privacy in smart environments.

description: The Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) is an apparent discontinuity in the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) along the giant branch due to the end of the red giant evolutionary phase and is used to measure distances in the local universe. In practice, the tip is often fuzzy and its localization via edge detection response (EDR) relies on several methods applied on a case-by-case basis. It is hard to evaluate how individual choices affect a distance estimation using only a single host field while also avoiding confirmation bias. To devise a standardized approach, we compare unsupervised, algorithmic analyses of the TRGB in multiple halo fields per galaxy, up to 11 fields for a single host and 50 fields across 10 galaxies, using high signal-to-noise stellar photometry obtained by the GHOSTS survey with the Hubble Space Telescope. We first optimize methods for the lowest field-to-field dispersion including spatial filtering to remove star forming regions, smoothing and weighting of the luminosity function, selection of the RGB by color, and tip selection based on the number of likely RGB stars and the ratio of stars above versus below the tip ($R$). We find $R$, which we call the tip `contrast', to be the most important indicator of the quality of EDR measurements; we find that field-to-field EDR repeatability varies from 0.3 mag to $\leq$ 0.05 mag for $R=4$ to 7, respectively, though less than half the fields reach the higher quality. Further, we find that $R$, which varies with the age/metallicity of the stellar population based on models, correlates with the magnitude of the tip (and after accounting for low internal extinction), i.e., a tip-contrast relation with slope of $-0.023\pm0.0046$ mag/ratio, a $\sim 5σ$ result that improves standardization of the TRGB. We discuss the value of consistent TRGB standardization across rungs for robust distance ladder measurements.

Biology and notes. Shannon & Aubertin (1933) described the holotype of Hemixylota unicolor based on specimens from “Ensenada” in Argentina. However, Ensenada is a locality in Chile belonging to the Puerto Varas municipality (Hull 1949b; Thompson 1999a). Thus, we reclassified this species as endemic to Chile. The species is associated with the Valdivian evergreen and North Patagonian forest, which has been replaced by urbanization and plantation forestry. All biological and ecological aspects of this species are unknown.

description: The 2008 Data Fusion Contest organized by the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Data Fusion Technical Committee deals with the classification of high-resolution hyperspectral data from an urban area. Unlike in the previous issues of the contest, the goal was not only to identify the best algorithm but also to provide a collaborative effort: The decision fusion of the best individual algorithms was aiming at further improving the classification performances, and the best algorithms were ranked according to their relative contribution to the decision fusion. This paper presents the five awarded algorithms and the conclusions of the contest, stressing the importance of decision fusion, dimension reduction, and supervised classification methods, such as neural networks and support vector machines.

description: This letter presents a signal generation circuit that combines a wide tuning range voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a frequency doubler. The VCO provides two differential outputs with different power levels. A push-push frequency doubler is designed and cascaded to the high power output of the VCO, while the low power output is reserved to drive a frequency divider in a PLL. The VCO can be tuned from 33 to 43 GHz, with around 0 dBm output power at the low power output. Simultaneously, signal generation from 66 to 86 GHz is achieved at the doubler output, with a maximum output power of - 1.1 dBm at 74 GHz (- 2.5 dBm at 81 GHz). The measured phase noise at the VCO output and the doubler output are - 91 dBc/Hz and - 83 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset (- 112 dBc/Hz and - 106 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz offset), respectively. The circuit is realized in a 0.8 µm SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor process, with fT/fmax of 80/90 GHz. The VCO consumes 81 mA current while the doubler consumes an extra 17 mA from a 4 V supply. The circuit demonstrates the possibility of wide-band signal generation up to fmax with sufficient output power (e.g. to drive a mixer) in a conservatively scaled, low-cost process.

description: The quantum computing paradigm in photonics currently relies on the multi-port interference in linear optical devices, which is intrinsically based on probabilistic measurements outcome and thus non-deterministic. Devising a fully deterministic, universal, and practically achievable quantum computing platform based on integrated photonic circuits is still an open challenge. Here we propose to exploit weakly nonlinear photonic devices to implement deterministic entangling quantum gates, following the definition of dual rail photonic qubits. It is shown that a universal set of single- and two-qubit gates can be designed by a suitable concatenation of few optical interferometric elements, with optimal fidelities arbitrarily close to 100% theoretically demonstrated through a bound constrained optimization algorithm. The actual realization would require the concatenation of a few tens of elementary operations, as well as on-chip optical nonlinearities that are compatible with some of the existing quantum photonic platforms, as it is finally discussed.

description: This paper presents a monolithic impulse generator IC targeting the spectral mask for ultra-wideband applications allocated in the European Union. The multicycle impulse is based on a spike triggered resonant circuit and has a peak to peak output amplitude of 32 mV and a time domain extension of 0.83 ns (full width at half maximum). It can generate single pulses as well as repetition rates exceeding the 200 MHz shown in this paper. The IC includes a conversion stage, which can generate the triggering spike from a low slew rate signal. The IC is fabricated in a Si/SiGe HBT production technology, has a power consumption of 58.6 mW at 200 MHz repetition rate and an on-chip area of 480 x 880 µm², both including the conversion stage. Based on the time domain measurement a model of the impulse transient for the use in system simulations is also presented. The model equation applies a summation of two Gaussian bell shapes as the envelope function, which is multiplied with a phase-corrected sinusoidal waveform to arrive at the final shape.
