description: Homomorphic encryption (HE) enables privacy-preserving deep learning by allowing computations on encrypted data without decryption. However, deploying convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with HE is challenging due to the need to convert input data into a two-dimensional matrix for convolution using the im2col technique, which rearranges the input for efficient computation. This restricts the types of CNN models that can be used since the encrypted data structure must be compatible with the specific model. UniHENN is a novel HE-based CNN architecture that eliminates the need for im2col, enhancing its versatility and compatibility with a broader range of CNN models. UniHENN flattens input data to one dimension without using im2col. The kernel performs convolutions by traversing the image, using incremental rotations and structured multiplication on the flattened input, with results spaced by the stride interval. Experimental results show that UniHENN significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art 2D CNN inference architecture named PyCrCNN in terms of inference time. For example, on the LeNet-1 model, UniHENN achieves an average inference time of 30.089 seconds, about 26.6 times faster than PyCrCNN's 800.591 seconds. Furthermore, UniHENN outperforms TenSEAL, an im2col-optimized CNN model, in concurrent image processing. For ten samples, UniHENN (16.247 seconds) was about 3.9 times faster than TenSEAL (63.706 seconds), owing to its support for batch processing of up to 10 samples. We demonstrate UniHENN's adaptability to various CNN architectures, including a 1D CNN and six 2D CNNs, highlighting its flexibility and efficiency for privacy-preserving cloud-based CNN services.

description: The Anderson overlap catastrophe (AOC) is a many-body effect arising as a result of a shakeup of a Fermi sea due to an abrupt change of a local potential, leading to a power-law dependence of the density of states on energy. Here we demonstrate that a standard quantum-dot detector can be employed as a highly tuneable probe of the AOC, where the power law can be continuously modified by a gate voltage. We show that signatures of the AOC have already appeared in previous experiments, and give explicit predictions allowing to tune and pinpoint their non-perturbative aspects.

description: When humans and autonomous systems operate together as what we refer to as a hybrid team, we of course wish to ensure the team operates successfully and effectively. We refer to team members as agents. In our proposed framework, we address the case of hybrid teams in which, at any time, only one team member (the control agent) is authorized to act as control for the team. To determine the best selection of a control agent, we propose the addition of an AI manager (via Reinforcement Learning) which learns as an outside observer of the team. The manager learns a model of behavior linking observations of agent performance and the environment/world the team is operating in, and from these observations makes the most desirable selection of a control agent. We restrict the manager task by introducing a set of constraints. The manager constraints indicate acceptable team operation, so a violation occurs if the team enters a condition which is unacceptable and requires manager intervention. To ensure minimal added complexity or potential inefficiency for the team, the manager should attempt to minimize the number of times the team reaches a constraint violation and requires subsequent manager intervention. Therefore our manager is optimizing its selection of authorized agents to boost overall team performance while minimizing the frequency of manager intervention. We demonstrate our manager performance in a simulated driving scenario representing the case of a hybrid team of agents composed of a human driver and autonomous driving system. We perform experiments for our driving scenario with interfering vehicles, indicating the need for collision avoidance and proper speed control. Our results indicate a positive impact of our manager, with some cases resulting in increased team performance up to ~187% that of the best solo agent performance.

description: Very recently, the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) reported the observation of the very early TeV afterglow of the brightest-of-all-time GRB 221009A, recording the highest photon statistics in the TeV band ever from a gamma-ray burst. We use this unique observation to place stringent constraints on an energy dependence of the speed of light in vacuum, a manifestation of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) predicted by some quantum gravity (QG) theories. Our results show that the 95% confidence level lower limits on the QG energy scales are $E_{\mathrm{QG},1}>10$ times of the Planck energy $E_\mathrm{Pl}$ for the linear, and $E_{\mathrm{QG},2}>6\times10^{-8}E_\mathrm{Pl}$ for the quadratic LIV effects, respectively. Our limits on the quadratic LIV case improve previous best bounds by factors of 5--7.

description: The unavailability of accurate boundary treatment methods for compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) severely limits its ability to simulate flows in and around bodies. To this end, challenges specific to compressible flows with SPH are carefully considered. Based on these, robust and widely applicable boundary treatment methods for compressible SPH are proposed. These are accompanied by a novel technique to prevent particle penetration at boundaries. The proposed methods are shown to be significantly better than other recent approaches. A wide variety of test problems, many of which are not shown to be simulated with SPH thus far, are employed to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed methods. The implementation is open source and the results are automated in the interest of reproducibility. Overall, this research contributes to the advancement of SPH as a viable alternative to mesh-based methods for compressible flow simulations.

description: Mucoscopy, the use of dermatoscopy for evaluating mucous membranes, is a promising yet insufficiently explored method for diagnosing and monitoring oral cavity diseases. This study highlights its role in early diagnosis, lesion differentiation, and treatment guidance, while also potentially reducing the need for biopsies and serving as a screening tool for oral cancer. Despite its benefits, its clinical application remains limited due to technical challenges and the need for further research. Future multicenter studies with a larger patient sample and new technological developments could enhance its diagnostic accuracy and make the method more accessible in daily clinical practice.

description: We study the post-Newtonian limit of higher-order scalar-tensor theories that are degenerate in the unitary gauge. They can be conveniently described by the effective field theory (EFT) of dark energy. We determine all the parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) parameters in terms of the EFT of dark energy parameters. Experimental bounds on the PPN parameters are then translated to constraints on the EFT parameters. We present a Lagrangian of a unitary degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theory characterized by a single function of the kinetic term of the scalar field whose PPN parameters have the same values as in general relativity.

description: Strongly correlated impurities immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) can form a periodic structure of tightly localized single atoms due to competing inter- and intra-species interactions, leading to a self-organized pinned state. In this work, we show numerically that the impurities in the self-pinned state form a soliton-train, as a consequence of a BEC-mediated attractive self-interaction and ordering due to the exclusion principle. The dynamics of the impurities possess similar characteristics to bright matter-wave solitons as they appear in attractive BECs, however in the few impurities case, the detailed nature of collisions is determined by their quantum statistics.

description: A novel feature, based on the chirp z-transform, that offers an improved representation of the underlying true spectrum is proposed. This feature, the chirp MFCC, is derived by computing the Mel frequency cepstral coefficients from the chirp magnitude spectrum, instead of the Fourier transform magnitude spectrum. The theoretical foundations for the proposal, and the experimental validation using product of likelihood Gaussians, to show the improved class separation offered by the proposed chirp MFCC, when compared with vanilla MFCC are discussed. Further, real world evaluation of the feature is performed using three diverse tasks, namely, speech-music classification, speaker identification, and speech commands recognition. It is shown in all three tasks that the proposed chirp MFCC offers considerable improvements.

description: Quantum Neural Network (QNN) combines the Deep Learning (DL) principle with the fundamental theory of quantum mechanics to achieve machine learning tasks with quantum acceleration. Recently, QNN systems have been found to manifest robustness issues similar to classical DL systems. There is an urgent need for ways to test their correctness and security. However, QNN systems differ significantly from traditional quantum software and classical DL systems, posing critical challenges for QNN testing. These challenges include the inapplicability of traditional quantum software testing methods to QNN systems due to differences in programming paradigms and decision logic representations, the dependence of quantum test sample generation on perturbation operators, and the absence of effective information in quantum neurons. In this paper, we propose QuanTest, a quantum entanglement-guided adversarial testing framework to uncover potential erroneous behaviors in QNN systems. We design a quantum entanglement adequacy criterion to quantify the entanglement acquired by the input quantum states from the QNN system, along with two similarity metrics to measure the proximity of generated quantum adversarial examples to the original inputs. Subsequently, QuanTest formulates the problem of generating test inputs that maximize the quantum entanglement adequacy and capture incorrect behaviors of the QNN system as a joint optimization problem and solves it in a gradient-based manner to generate quantum adversarial examples. results demonstrate that QuanTest possesses the capability to capture erroneous behaviors in QNN systems. The entanglement-guided approach proves effective in adversarial testing, generating more adversarial examples.

description: Ground-based high-resolution spectra provide a powerful tool for characterising exoplanet atmospheres. However, they are greatly hampered by the dominating telluric and stellar lines, which need to be removed prior to any analysis. Such removal techniques ("preparing pipelines") deform the spectrum, hence a key point is to account for this process in the forward models used in retrievals. We develop a formal derivation on how to prepare froward models for retrievals, in the case where the telluric and instrumental deformations can be represented as a matrix multiplied element-wise with the data. We also introduce the notion of "Bias Pipeline Metric" (BPM), that can be used to compare the bias potential of preparing pipelines. We use the resulting framework to retrieve simulated observations of 1-D and 3-D exoplanet atmospheres and to re-analyse high-resolution ($\mathcal{R} \approx 80\,400$) near infrared (0.96--1.71 $μ$m) CARMENES transit data of HD~189733~b. We compare these results with those obtained from a CCF analysis. With our fiducial retrieval, we find a blueshift of the absorption features of $-5.51^{+0.66}_{-0.53}$ km$\cdot$s$^{-1}$. In addition, we retrieve a H$_2$O $\log_{10}$(VMR) of $-2.39^{+0.12}_{-0.16}$ and a temperature of $660^{+6}_{-11}$ K. We are also able to put upper limits for the abundances of CH$_4$, CO, H$_2$S, HCN and NH$_3$, consistent with a sub-solar metallicity atmosphere enriched in H$_2$O. We retrieve a broadened line shape, consistent with rotation- and wind-induced line broadening. Finally, we find a lower limit for the pressure of an opaque cloud consistent with a clear atmosphere, and find no evidence for hazes.

How to identify earth pressures on in-service tunnel linings: Insights from Bayesian inversion to address non-uniqueness

description: Identifying earth pressures on in-service transportation tunnel linings is essential for their health monitoring and performance prediction, particularly in structures that exhibit poor performance. Due to the high costs associated with pressure gauges, pressure inversion based on easily observed structural responses, such as deformations, is preferred. A significant challenge lies in the non-uniqueness of inversion results, where various pressures can yield similar structural responses. Existing approaches often overlook detailed discussions on this critical issue. In addressing this gap, this study introduces a Bayesian approach. The proposed statistical framework effectively quantifies the uncertainty induced by non-uniqueness. Further analysis identifies the uniform component in distributed pressures as the primary source of non-uniqueness. Insights into mitigation strategies are provided, including increasing the quantity of deformation data or incorporating an observation of internal normal force within the tunnel lining -- the latter proving to be notably more effective. A practical application in a numerical case study demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach. In addition, our investigation recommends maintaining deformation measurement accuracy within the range of [-1, 1] mm to ensure satisfactory outcomes. Finally, deficiencies and potential future extensions of this approach are discussed.

description: The effect of gravitational particle production of scalar particles on the total effective cosmic energy density (in the era after photon decoupling till the present) is considered. The effect is significant for heavy particles. It is found that gravitational particle production results in an effective increase in the directly measured value of the Hubble constant $H_0$ while it does not affect the value of the Hubble constant in the calculation of the number density of baryons at present time that is used to calculate recombination redshift. This may explain why the Hubble constant determined by local measurements and non-local measurements (such as CMB) are different. This suggests that gravitational particle production may have a non-negligible impact on the $H_0$ tension.

description: Ensemble Density Functional Theory (EDFT) is a generalization of ground-state Density Functional Theory (GS DFT), which is based on an exact formal theory of finite collections of a system's ground and excited states. EDFT in various forms has been shown to improve the accuracy of calculated energy level differences in isolated model systems, atoms, and molecules, but it is not yet clear how EDFT could be used to calculate band gaps for periodic systems. We extend the application of EDFT toward periodic systems by estimating the thermodynamic limit with increasingly large finite one-dimensional ``particle in a box'' systems, which approach the uniform electron gas (UEG). Using ensemble-generalized Hartree and Local Spin Density Approximation (LSDA) exchange-correlation functionals, we find that corrections go to zero in the infinite limit, as expected for a metallic system. However, there is a correction to the effective mass, with results comparable to other calculations on 1D, 2D, and 3D UEGs, which indicates promise for non-trivial results from EDFT on periodic systems.

description: To date, the most precise measurement of the observer's peculiar velocity comes from the dipole in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This velocity also generates a dipole in the source number counts, whose amplitude is governed not only by the observer velocity, but also by specific properties of the sources, that are difficult to determine precisely. Quantitative studies of the source number counts currently give dipoles which are reasonably well aligned with the CMB dipole, but with a significantly larger amplitude than that of the CMB dipole. In this work, we explore an alternative way of measuring the observer velocity from the source number counts, using correlations between neighboring spherical harmonic coefficients, induced by the velocity. We show that these correlations contain both a term sensitive to the source properties and another one directly given by the observer velocity. We explore the potential of a Euclid-like survey to directly measure this second contribution, independently of the characteristics of the population of sources. We find that the method can reach a precision of 4%, corresponding to a detection significance of 24 sigma, on the observer velocity. This will settle with precision the present "dipole tension".

description: The interaction of quantum light with matter is of great importance to a wide range of scientific disciplines, ranging from optomechanics to high precision measurements. A central issue we discuss here, is how to make optimal use of both the spatial and the quantum degrees of freedom of light for characterizing and manipulating arbitrary observable parameters in a linear scattering system into which suitably engineered light fields are injected. Here, we discuss a comprehensive framework based on a quantum operator that can be assembled solely from the scattering matrix of a system and its dependence on the corresponding local parameter, making this operator experimentally measurable from the far-field using only classical light. From this, the effect of quantum light in the near-field, i.e., in the vicinity of the target object, can be inferred. Based on this framework, it is straightforward to formulate optimal protocols on how to jointly design both the spatial shape and the quantum characteristics of light for micromanipulation as well as for parameter estimation in arbitrarily complex media. Also the forces of the quantum vacuum naturally emerge from this formalism. The aim of our tutorial is to bring different perspectives into alignment and thereby build a bridge between the different communities of wave control, quantum optics, micromanipulation, quantum metrology and vacuum physics.

Creators: name: Turner, Jeremy Owen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: These mechanics were first formalized on January 17, 2025.

 

The invention introduces a comphehensive system for creating and managing Perspect, a next-generation Psychological Reality (Ψ-R) game. This game utilizes advanced gameplay mechanics driven by dynamic multidimensional perception shifts, allowing players to interact with hidden layers of reality. Central to the game’s design is the Zeitgeist Processing Unit (ZPU), a quantum-based computational element that governs gameplay through resource management, metaphysical reasoning, and adaptive intelligence.

The system integrates various components to generate a deeply immersive and customizable experience, including the Virtual Machine (VM), which simulates gameplay processes, and the Zeitgeist Crystals, which manage the balance of game mechanics. Players navigate the game through interactive kiosks such as Vision, Mirror, and Mirage, each providing multimodal interactions and unique challenges. The gameplay system also employs Artificial Hyperreal Intelligences (AHIs), such as Affinities and Oracles, which provide narrative depth and dynamic, adaptive interactions.

By utilizing Simulative Realization™, the system creates complex cognitive architectures and adaptive game mechanics, blurring the lines between simulation and reality. The Imajic Oracle Architecture (IOA) provides predictive mechanisms that guide players through philosophical and metaphysical challenges, enhancing the game's story and offering deeply personalized experiences.

This patent application outlines the methods and systems that enable the creation of a highly adaptive and emergent gameplay experience, where players' interactions and perceptions continuously shape the narrative and world-building, allowing for an infinite progression system. Perspect introduces unique gameplay features that merge cognitive, metaphysical, and philosophical challenges with interactive technology, ensuring engaging and evolving player experiences.

description: A measurement of the production of $W$ bosons with opposite electric charges in association with two jets is presented based on 140 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The analysis is sensitive to the scattering of $W$ bosons, which is of particular interest in the ATLAS physics programme as it can be used to probe the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism of the Standard Model. This signal is observed with a significance of 7.1 standard deviations above the background expectation, while 6.2 standard deviations were expected. The measured cross-section is determined in a signal-enriched fiducial volume and is found to be $2.7\pm0.5$ fb, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction of $2.20^{+0.14}_{-0.13}$ fb.

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: An algorithm to obtain data-driven models of oscillatory phenomena in plasma space propulsion systems is presented, based on sparse regression (SINDy) and Pareto front analysis. The algorithm can incorporate physical constraints, use data bootstrapping for additional robustness, and fine-tuning to different metrics. Standard, weak and integral SINDy formulations are discussed and compared. The scheme is benchmarked in the case of breathing-mode oscillations in Hall effect thrusters, using PIC/fluid simulation data. Models of varying complexity are obtained for the average plasma properties, and shown to have a clear physical interpretability and agreement with existing 0D models in the literature. Lastly, the algorithm applied is also shown to enable the identification of physical subdomains with qualitatively different plasma dynamics, providing valuable information for more advanced modeling approaches.

description: Coherent errors, and especially those that occur in correlation among a set of qubits, are detrimental for large-scale quantum computing. Correlations in noise can occur as a result of spatial and temporal configurations of instructions executing on the quantum processor. In this paper, we perform a detailed experimental characterization of many of these error sources, and theoretically connect them to the physics of superconducting qubits and gate operations. Equipped with this knowledge, we devise compiler strategies to suppress these errors using dynamical decoupling or error compensation into the rest of the circuit. Importantly, these strategies are successful when the context at each layer of computation is taken into account: how qubits are connected, what crosstalk terms exist on the device, and what gates or idle periods occur in that layer. Our context-aware compiler thus suppresses some dominant sources of error, making further error mitigation or error correction substantially less expensive. For example, our experiments show an increase of 18.5\% in layer fidelity for a candidate 10-qubit circuit layer compared to context-unaware suppression. Owing to the exponential nature of error mitigation, these improvements due to error suppression translate to several orders of magnitude reduction of sampling overhead for a circuit consisting of a moderate number of layers.

Estimating population density and size of a social forest-dwelling mammal using gas movement theory and spatially explicit distribution model

description: Accurate estimates of density and population size are fundamental for appropriate monitoring of populations. Forest dwelling large mammals that live in herds are particularly difficult for estimating population density and size because of the heterogeneity of their spatial distribution at local scales and the difficulty of counting groups. Previous work has dealt with heterogeneity of spatial-temporal distribution by the independent use of gas movement theory and spatially explicit distribution models. Here we propose to combine both approaches, and a novel probabilistic method to minimize inflation of group size estimates, to estimate density and population size of a Neotropical social mammal, the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari). From February to August 2013, we placed ten camera-traps at distinct locations approximately 2 km apart from one another, at Ilha do Cardoso State Park, a 110-km2 protected area in the Atlantic forest of Brazil. We estimated groups/area using a gas movement function, and individuals/group from a pathway probability function, and used both to derive a final density estimate (individuals/area). We then generated a habitat suitability model based on seven environmental layers and 32 location points, and extracted the area with high probability of occurrence to estimate population size in the park.

In 1232 camera trap*days, we recorded 309 10-second videos of white-lipped peccary herds. Simple minimum density estimates (from subtracting individuals that leave the screen) were sensitive to the time interval used to separate independent events, but density estimates using the pathway probability function were not, with a final density estimate of 6.2-9.8 inds/km2. Habitat suitability analyses revealed that four environmental variables (distance from continental edge, altitude, vegetation, and slope) collectively explained 84% of the variation in white-lipped occurrence. Using a model threshold of 0.27 (maximum test sensitivity and specificity), we determined that only 21% of the park’s area was in fact suitable for the species, with a final population size estimate ranging from 175 to 275 individuals. The present study reveals that a combination of analytical tools allows for more robust estimates of population density and size of forest-dwelling social mammals. Our approach also permits disentangling distinct factors affecting population size (group size, group density, and suitable area), and facilitates pinpointing sources of variation in population size over time.

Coprophilous fungi Sporormiella as a proxy for modern herbivores presence in the Neotropics

description: Sporormiella, a genus of obligate coprophilous fungi is commonly used to detect large herbivore presence and even estimate their abundance in paleoecological studies. Despite the growing scientific literature regarding the role of Sporormiella in Quaternary sediments, very few studies have been conducted in modern settings outside the USA to assess the reliability of the spores as a proxy for megafauna. The reliability of using the abundance of Sporormiella spores as a proxy for the presence and abundance of large herbivores was tested in southern Brazil. To understand the association between megafaunal abundance and Sporormiella representation in lake sediment archives, we sampled nine lakes with different levels of usage by cattle: i) High cattle use (> 40 per day visiting the lake); ii) Medium cattle use (~10 per day visiting the lake), and iii) Low cattle use (<5 per day visiting the lake). We also examined whether the abundance of Sporormiella was related to distance from the lake shoreline. Each lake was divided into concentric rings representing intervals of distance from the lake shoreline. The outermost ring provided samples collected within 2.5 m of the shoreline, the second interval was 15 m from the shoreline, then 35 m, and the last one was 50 m from the shore. The number of samples collected within each ring was proportional to the surface area of the ring.

The sampling design allowed an analysis of both the influence of the number of animals using the shoreline and the distance of the sampling site from the nearest shoreline. Sporormiella was found to be a reliable proxy for the presence of large livestock. Our results demonstrated that the concentration and abundance of spores declined from the edge of the lake toward the center, with the strongest response being in sites with high livestock use. Consistent with prior studies in temperate regions, we find that Sporormiella spores are a useful proxy to study the extinction of Pleistocene megafauna or the arrival of European livestock in Neotropical landscapes.

description: We prove existence of weak solutions to a diffuse interface model describing the flow of a fluid through a deformable porous medium consisting of two phases. The system non-linearly couples Biot's equations for poroelasticity, including phase-field dependent material properties, with the Cahn-Hilliard equation to model the evolution of the solid, and is further augmented by a visco-elastic regularization of Kelvin-Voigt type. To obtain this result, we approximate the problem in two steps, where first a semi-Galerkin ansatz is employed to show existence of weak solutions to regularized systems, for which later on compactness arguments allow limit passage. Notably, we also establish a maximal regularity theory for linear visco-elastic problems.
