description: The relationship between brains and computers is often taken to be merely metaphorical. However, genuine computational systems can be implemented in virtually any media; thus, one can take seriously the view that brains literally compute. But without empirical criteria for what makes a physical system genuinely a computational one, computation remains a matter of perspective, especially for natural systems (e.g., brains) that were not explicitly designed and engineered to be computers. Considerations from real examples of physical computers-both analog and digital, contemporary and historical-make clear what those empirical criteria must be. Finally, applying those criteria to the brain shows how we can view the brain as a computer (probably an analog one at that), which, in turn, illuminates how that claim is both informative and falsifiable.

description: We propose a new relativistic Lorentz-invariant spin-noncommutative algebra. Using the Weyl ordering of noncommutative position operators, we build an analogue of the Moyal-Groenewald product for the proposed algebra. The Lagrange function of an electromagnetic field in the space with spin noncommutativity is constructed. In such a space electromagnetic field becomes non-abelian. A gauge transformation law of this field is also obtained. Exact nonlinear field equations of noncommutative electromagnetic field are derived from the least action principle. Within the perturbative approach we consider field of a point charge in a constant magnetic field and interaction of two plane waves. An exact solution of a plane wave propagation in a constant magnetic and electric fields is found.

description: When atoms are excited to high-lying Rydberg states they interact strongly with dipolar forces. The resulting state-dependent level shifts allow to study many-body systems displaying intriguing nonequilibrium phenomena, such as constrained spin systems, and are at the heart of numerous technological applications, e.g., in quantum simulation and computation platforms. Here, we show that these interactions have also a significant impact on dissipative effects caused by the inevitable coupling of Rydberg atoms to the surrounding electromagnetic field. We demonstrate that their presence modifies the frequency of the photons emitted from the Rydberg atoms, making it dependent on the local neighborhood of the emitting atom. Interactions among Rydberg atoms thus turn spontaneous emission into a many-body process which manifests, in a thermodynamically consistent Markovian setting, in the emergence of collective jump operators in the quantum master equation governing the dynamics. We discuss how this collective dissipation - stemming from a mechanism different from the much studied super- and sub-radiance - accelerates decoherence and affects dissipative phase transitions in Rydberg ensembles.

A Study of Continual Learning Methods for Q-Learning

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We present an empirical study on the use of continual learning (CL) methods in a reinforcement learning (RL) scenario, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been described before. CL is a very active recent research topic concerned with machine learning under non-stationary data distributions. Although this naturally applies to RL, the use of dedicated CL methods is still uncommon. This may be due to the fact that CL methods often assume a decomposition of CL problems into disjoint sub-tasks of stationary distribution, that the onset of these sub-tasks is known, and that sub-tasks are non-contradictory. In this study, we perform an empirical comparison of selected CL methods in a RL problem where a physically simulated robot must follow a racetrack by vision. In order to make CL methods applicable, we restrict the RL setting and introduce non-conflicting subtasks of known onset, which are however not disjoint and whose distribution, from the learner's point of view, is still non-stationary. Our results show that dedicated CL methods can significantly improve learning when compared to the baseline technique of "experience replay".

description: With the motivation of discovering high-temperature superconductors, evolutionary algorithm is employed to search for all stable compounds in the Sn-H system. In addition to the traditional SnH$_4$, new hydrides SnH$_8$, SnH$_{12}$ and SnH$_{14}$ are found to be thermodynamically stable at high pressure. Dynamical stability and superconductivity of tin-hydrides are systematically investigated. I$\bar{4}$m2-SnH$_8$, C2/m-SnH$_{12}$ and C2/m-SnH$_{14}$ exhibit higher superconducting transition temperatures of 81, 93 and 97 K compared to the traditional compound SnH$_4$ with T$_c$ of 52 K at 200 GPa. An interesting bent H$_3^-$ in I$\bar{4}$m2-SnH$_8$ and novel liner H$_4^-$ in C2/m-SnH$_{12}$ are observed. All the new tin-hydrides remain metallic over their predicted range of stability. The intermediate-frequency wagging and bending vibrations have more contribution to electron-phonon coupling parameter than high-frequency stretching vibrations of H$_2$ and H$_3$.

description: In this work, we perform a longitudinal analysis of the BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum blockchain from their inception to March 2022. We study the ecosystem of the tokens and liquidity pools, highlighting analogies and differences between the two blockchains. We discover that about 60% of tokens are active for less than one day. Moreover, we find that 1% of addresses create an anomalous number of tokens (between 20% and 25%). We discover that these tokens are used as disposable tokens to perform a particular type of rug pull, which we call 1-day rug pull. We quantify the presence of this operation on both blockchains discovering its prevalence on the BNB Smart Chain. We estimate that 1-day rug pulls generated $240 million in profits. Finally, we present sniper bots, a new kind of trader bot involved in these activities, and we detect their presence and quantify their activity in the rug pull operations.

description: While quantum state tomography plays a vital role in the verification and benchmarking of quantum systems, it is an intractable task if the controllability and measurement of quantum registers are constrained. In this paper, we study the quantum state tomography of star-topology registers, in which the individual addressability of peripheral spins is infeasible. Based on the star-symmetry, we decompose the Hilbert space to alleviate the complexity of tomography and design a compact strategy with minimum number of measurements. By optimizing the parameterized quantum circuit for information transfer, the robustness against measurement errors is also improved. Furthermore, we apply this method to a 10-spin star-topology register and demonstrate its ability to characterize large-scale systems. Our results can help future investigations of quantum systems with constrained ability of quantum control and measurement.

description: Molecular spintronics is made possible by the coupling between electronic configuration and magnetic po- larization of the molecules. For control and application of the individual molecular states it is necessary to both read and write their spin states. Conventionally, this is achieved by means of external magnetic fields or ferromagnetic contacts, which may change the intentional spin state and may present additional challenges when downsizing devices. Here, we predict that coupling magnetic molecules together opens up possibilities for all electrical control of both the molecular spin states as well as the current flow through the system. Tuning between the regimes of ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction, the current can be, at least, an order of magnitude enhanced or reduced. The effect is susceptible to the tunnel coupling and molecular level alignment which can be used to achieve current rectification.

Designing and Constructing a Neural Network Based Graffiti Detector for use by Cities in Public Places to Reduce Graffiti
Creators: name: Maddury, Sucheer
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: Machine Learning, Graffiti, Convolutional Neural Network, Data Science

description: Graffiti is one of the most visible forms of vandalism and is a crime by law. As well as causing damage to the property targeted, graffiti is significantly detrimental to entire communities. It is associated with reduced retail sales, property values and increased fears of crime and violence. Identifying and cleaning up graffiti is a significant drain on already precious public funds. One of the main causes for this is that citizens often fail to report graffiti, either because they feel it isn’t necessary or because of the potentially extensive process. I have applied technology to addressing this problem, specifically providing a neural network-based detector to quickly and efficiently identify graffiti. My engineering goal was to create a network with an accuracy of at least 90%. I modified pre-trained deep convolution networks and developed custom data sets to identify graffiti with less than 4% error. This network was trained diversely so it is applicable to many cities across the nation regardless of whether or not the graffiti styles in those cities are the same. I also tested the effects of different appearance characteristics. I found slight accuracy improvements with larger graffiti, and also found no significant black/white color bias. There are several applications to this solution - mobile apps so graffiti detection can be crowdsourced or deployment in a public camera to automatically detect and report graffiti. In all such cases, exact
 location information can be provided to develop an efficient mechanism to detect, locate and clean up graffiti.

The structural order of protein hydration water

description: The ability of water to dissolve biomolecules is crucial for our life. It has been shown that protein has a profound effect on the behavior of water in its hydration shell, which in turn affects the structure and function of the protein. However, there is still no consensus on whether protein promotes or destroys the structural order of water in its hydration shell until today, because of the lack of proper structural descriptor incorporating hydrogen-bond (H-bond) information for water at the protein/water interface. Here we performed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of lysozyme protein in water and analyzed the H-bond structure of protein hydration water by using a newly developed structural descriptor. We find that the protein promotes local structural ordering of the hydration water while has a negligible effect on the strength of individual H-bond. These findings are fundamental to the structure and function of biomolecules and provide new insights into the hydration of protein in water.

Quantum error correction against photon loss using NOON states

description: The so-called NOON states are quantum optical resources known to be useful especially for quantum lithography and metrology. At the same time, they are known to be very sensitive to photon losses and rather hard to produce experimentally. Concerning the former, here we present a scheme where NOON states are the elementary resources for building quantum error correction codes against photon losses, thus demonstrating that such resources can also be useful to suppress the effect of loss. Our NOON-code is an exact code that can be systematically extended from one-photon to higher-number losses. Its loss scaling depending on the codeword photon number is the same as for some existing, exact loss codes such as bosonic and quantum parity codes, but its codeword mode number is intermediate between that of the other codes. Another generalisation of the NOON-code is given for arbitrary logical qudits instead of logical qubits. While, in general, the final codewords are always obtainable from multi-mode NOON states through application of beam splitters, both codewords for the one-photon-loss qubit NOON-code can be simply created from single-photon states with beam splitters. We give various examples and also discuss a potential application of our qudit code for quantum communication.

description: In nuclear matter in isolated neutron stars, the flavor content (e.g., proton fraction) is subject to weak interactions, establishing flavor ($β$-)equilibrium. However, there can be deviations from this equilibrium during the merger of two neutron stars. We study the resulting out-of-equilibrium dynamics during the collision by incorporating direct and modified Urca processes (in the neutrino-transparent regime) into general-relativistic hydrodynamics simulations with a simplified neutrino transport scheme. We demonstrate how weak-interaction-driven bulk viscosity in post-merger simulations can emerge and assess the bulk viscous dynamics of the resulting flow. We further place limits on the impact on the post-merger gravitational wave strain. Our results show that weak-interaction-driven bulk viscosity can potentially lead to a phase shift of the post-merger gravitational wave spectrum, although the effect is currently on the same level as the numerical errors of our simulation.

description: An analysis of the network defined by the potential energy minima of multi-atomic systems and their connectivity via reaction pathways that go through transition states allows to understand important characteristics like thermodynamic, dynamic and structural properties. Unfortunately computing the transition states and reaction pathways in addition to the significant energetically low-lying local minima is a computationally demanding task. We here introduce a computationally efficient method that is based on a combination of the minima hopping global optimization method and the insight that uphill barriers tend to increase with increasing structural distances of the educt and product states. This method allows to replace the exact connectivity information and transition state energies with alternative and approximate concepts. Without adding any significant additional cost to the minima hopping global optimization approach, this method allows to generate an approximate network of the minima, their connectivity and a rough measure for the energy needed for their interconversion. This can be used to obtain a first qualitative idea on important physical and chemical properties by means of a disconnectivity graph analysis. Besides the physical insight obtained by such an analysis, the gained knowledge can be used to make a decision if it is worthwhile or not to invest computational resources for an exact computation of the transition states and the reaction pathways. Furthermore it is demonstrated that the here presented method can be used for finding physically reasonable interconversion pathways that are promising input pathways for methods like transition path sampling or discrete path sampling.

description: The brain, at its center, has a reticular formation - a complex pathway of neurons that connects the seat of man’s consciousness, medulla oblongata, with the lower sensory mind, the pons Varolli. All major sensory and motor pathways pass through this diffused neuronal thicket on their way to the brain and vice versa so as to enable the organism to work as an integrated unit in stead of a mere collection of cells. During meditation, the electrical conductivity between the left and right hemispheres of the brain was found to be enhanced. When you are in a state of improved left-right communication .....‘plasticity of cognition’ occurs, in which you actually revolutionize the way you view the world .....’ When you transform your patterns of thinking, the brain cells begin to establish new connections. These new links then commune in fresh ways with other cells. And the pathways, that had kept the old habits alive, are replaced by new ones ....., As a consequence, new perceptions, changed actions and a changed life follow.

description: In this paper, we explore the spatio-temporal dynamics of spontaneous and stimulated forward Brillouin scattering. This general treatment incorporates the optomechanical coupling produced by boundary-induced radiation pressures (boundary motion) and material-induced electrostrictive forces (photo-elastic effects), permitting straightforward application to a range of emerging micro- and nano-scale optomechanical systems. Through a self-consistent fully coupled nonlinear treatment, developed within a general Hamiltonian framework, we establish the connection between the power spectral density of spontaneously scattered light in forward Brillouin interactions and the nonlinear coupling strength. We show that, in sharp contrast to backward Brillouin scattering, noise-initiated stimulated forward Brillouin scattering is forbidden in the majority of experimental systems. In fact, the single-pass gain, which characterizes the threshold for energy transfer in back-scattering processes, is negative for a large class of forward Brillouin devices. Beyond this frequent experimental case, we explore mechanisms for dispersive symmetry breaking that lead to amplification and dynamics reminiscent of backward Brillouin scattering.

description: The bilinear generating function for products of two Laguerre 2D polynomials Lm;n(z; z0) with different arguments is calculated. It corresponds to the formula of Mehler for the generating function of products of two Hermite polynomials. Furthermore, the generating function for mixed products of Laguerre 2D and Hermite 2D polynomials and for products of two Hermite 2D polynomials is calculated. A set of infinite sums over products of two Laguerre 2D polynomials as intermediate step to the generating function for products of Laguerre 2D polynomials is evaluated but these sums possess also proper importance for calculations with Laguerre polynomials. With the technique of SU(1; 1) operator disentanglement some operator identities are derived in an appendix. They allow to calculate convolutions of Gaussian functions combined with polynomials in one- and two-dimensional case and are applied to evaluate the discussed generating functions. Keywords: Laguerre and Hermite polynomials, Laguerre 2D polynomials, Jacobi polynomials, Mehler formula, SU(1; 1) operator disentanglement, Gaussian convolutions.

description: This paper introduces a novel model-agnostic algorithm called adaptive ensemble batch multi-input multi-output conformalized quantile regression (AEnbMIMOCQR} that enables forecasters to generate multi-step ahead prediction intervals for a fixed pre-specified miscoverage rate in a distribution-free manner. Our method is grounded on conformal prediction principles, however, it does not require data splitting and provides close to exact coverage even when the data is not exchangeable. Moreover, the resulting prediction intervals, besides being empirically valid along the forecast horizon, do not neglect heteroscedasticity. AEnbMIMOCQR is designed to be robust to distribution shifts, which means that its prediction intervals remain reliable over an unlimited period of time, without entailing retraining or imposing unrealistic strict assumptions on the data-generating process. Through methodically experimentation, we demonstrate that our approach outperforms other competitive methods on both real-world and synthetic datasets. The code used in the experimental part and a tutorial on how to use AEnbMIMOCQR can be found at the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/Quilograma/AEnbMIMOCQR.

description: This paper describes the ReprGesture entry to the Generation and Evaluation of Non-verbal Behaviour for Embodied Agents (GENEA) challenge 2022. The GENEA challenge provides the processed datasets and performs crowdsourced evaluations to compare the performance of different gesture generation systems. In this paper, we explore an automatic gesture generation system based on multimodal representation learning. We use WavLM features for audio, FastText features for text and position and rotation matrix features for gesture. Each modality is projected to two distinct subspaces: modality-invariant and modality-specific. To learn inter-modality-invariant commonalities and capture the characters of modality-specific representations, gradient reversal layer based adversarial classifier and modality reconstruction decoders are used during training. The gesture decoder generates proper gestures using all representations and features related to the rhythm in the audio. Our code, pre-trained models and demo are available at https://github.com/YoungSeng/ReprGesture.

description: The study of Gaussian free field level sets on supercritical Galton-Watson trees has been initiated by Abächerli and Sznitman in Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Probab. Stat., 54(1):173--201, 2018. By means of entirely different tools, we continue this investigation and generalize their main result on the positivity of the associated percolation critical parameter $h_*$ to the setting of arbitrary supercritical offspring distribution and random conductances. A fortiori, this provides a positive answer to the open question raised at the end of the aforementioned article. What is more, in our setting it also establishes a rigorous proof of the physics literature mantra that positive correlations facilitate percolation when compared to the independent case. Our proof proceeds by constructing the Galton-Watson tree through an exploration via finite random walk trajectories. This exploration of the tree progressively unveils an infinite connected component in the random interlacements set on the tree, which is stable under small quenched noise. Using a Dynkin-type isomorphism theorem, we then infer the strict positivity of the critical parameter $ h_* .$ As a byproduct of our proof we obtain the transience of the random interlacement set and the level sets of the Gaussian free field above small positive levels on such Galton-Watson trees.

description: Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we studied the effect of the impurity potential on the electronic structure of FeTe$_{0.5}$Se$_{0.5}$ superconductor by substituting 10\% of Ni for Fe which leads to an electron doping of the system. We could resolve three hole pockets near the zone center and an electron pocket near the zone corner in the case of FeTe$_{0.5}$Se$_{0.5}$, whereas only two hole pockets near the zone center and an electron pocket near the zone corner are resolved in the case of Fe$_{0.9}$Ni$_{0.1}$Te$_{0.5}$Se$_{0.5}$, suggesting that the hole pocket having predominantly the $xy$ orbital character is very sensitive to the impurity scattering. Upon electron doping, the size of the hole pockets decrease and the size of the electron pockets increase as compared to the host compound. However, the observed changes in the size of the electron and hole pockets are not consistent with the rigid-band model. Moreover, the effective mass of the hole pockets is reduced near the zone center and of the electron pockets is increased near the zone corner in the doped Fe$_{0.9}$Ni$_{0.1}$Te$_{0.5}$Se$_{0.5}$ as compared to FeTe$_{0.5}$Se$_{0.5}$. We refer these observations to the changes of the spectral function due to the effect of the impurity potential of the dopants.

description: Although chromium trihalides are widely regarded as a promising class of two-dimensional magnets for next-generation devices, an accurate description of their electronic structure and magnetic interactions has proven challenging to achieve. Here, we quantify electronic excitations and spin interactions in Cr$X_3$ ($X=$~Cl, Br, I) using embedded many-body wavefunction calculations and fully generalized spin Hamiltonians. We find that the three trihalides feature comparable $d$-shell excitations, consisting of a high-spin $^4A_2$ $(t^3_{2g}e^0_{g})$ ground state lying 1.5$-$1.7 eV below the first excited state $^4T_2$ ($t^2_{2g}e^1_{g}$). CrCl$_3$ exhibits a single-ion anisotropy $A_{\rm sia} = -0.02$ meV, while the Cr spin-3/2 moments are ferromagnetically coupled through bilinear and biquadratic exchange interactions of $J_1 = -0.97$ meV and $J_2 = -0.05$ meV, respectively. The corresponding values for CrBr$_3$ and CrI$_3$ increase to $A_{\rm sia} = -0.08$ meV and $A_{\rm sia} = -0.12$ meV for the single-ion anisotropy, $J_1 = -1.21$ meV, $J_2 = -0.05$ meV and $J_1 = -1.38$ meV, $J_2 = -0.06$ meV for the exchange couplings, respectively. We find that the overall magnetic anisotropy is defined by the interplay between $A_{\rm sia}$ and $A_{\rm dip}$ due to magnetic dipole-dipole interaction that favors in-plane orientation of magnetic moments in ferromagnetic monolayers and bulk layered magnets. The competition between the two contributions sets CrCl$_3$ and CrI$_3$ as the easy-plane ($A_{\rm sia}+ A_{\rm dip} > 0$) and easy-axis ($A_{\rm sia}+ A_{\rm dip} < 0$) ferromagnets, respectively. The differences between the magnets trace back to the atomic radii of the halogen ligands and the magnitude of spin-orbit coupling. Our findings are in excellent agreement with recent experiments, thus providing reference values for the fundamental interactions in chromium trihalides.

description: The proximity effect at the interface between a topological insulator (TI) and a superconductor is predicted to give rise to chiral topological superconductivity and Majorana fermion excitations. In most TIs studied to date, however, the conducting bulk states have overwhelmed the transport properties and precluded the investigation of the interplay of the topological surface state and Cooper pairs. Here, we demonstrate the superconducting proximity effect in the surface state of SmB6 thin films which display bulk insulation at low temperatures. The Fermi velocity in the surface state deduced from the proximity effect is found to be as large as 10^5 m/s, in good agreement with the value obtained from a separate transport measurement. We show that high transparency between the TI and a superconductor is crucial for the proximity effect. The finding here opens the door to investigation of exotic quantum phenomena using all-thin-film multilayers with high-transparency interfaces.

description: About 5 or 6 billion years after the Big Bang, the expansion of the universe steadily slowed down as the matter in the universe pulled on itself owing to gravity. Thanks to the discovery of cosmic micro-wave radiation, this revealed that the inflation of universe was not receding, rather accelerating. The mysterious force driving up the pace of expansion is dark energy.
