A Necessary and Sufficient Criterion for the Separability of Quantum State

description: Quantum entanglement has been regarded as one of the key physical resources in quantum information sciences. However, the determination of whether a mixed state is entangled or not is generally a hard issue, even for the bipartite system. In this work we propose an operational necessary and sufficient criterion for the separability of an arbitrary bipartite mixed state, by virtue of the multiplicative Horn's problem. The work follows the work initiated by Horodecki {\it et. al.} and uses the Bloch vector representation introduced to the separability problem by J. De Vicente. In our criterion, a complete and finite set of inequalities to determine the separability of compound system is obtained, which may be viewed as trade-off relations between the quantumness of subsystems. We apply the obtained result to explicit examples, e.g. the separable decomposition of arbitrary dimension Werner state and isotropic state.

On the link between generative semi-supervised learning and generative open-set recognition

description: This study investigates the relationship between semi-supervised learning (SSL, which is training off partially labelled datasets) and open-set recognition (OSR, which is classification with simultaneous novelty detection) under the context of generative adversarial networks (GANs). Although no previous study has formally linked SSL and OSR, their respective methods share striking similarities. Specifically, SSL-GANs and OSR-GANs require their generators to produce 'bad-looking' samples which are used to regularise their classifier networks. We hypothesise that the definitions of bad-looking samples in SSL and OSR represents the same concept and realises the same goal. More formally, bad-looking samples lie in the complementary space, which is the area between and around the boundaries of the labelled categories within the classifier's embedding space. By regularising a classifier with samples in the complementary space, classifiers achieve improved generalisation for SSL and also generalise the open space for OSR. To test this hypothesis, we compare a foundational SSL-GAN with the state-of-the-art OSR-GAN under the same SSL-OSR experimental conditions. Our results find that SSL-GANs achieve near identical results to OSR-GANs, proving the SSL-OSR link. Subsequently, to further this new research path, we compare several SSL-GANs various SSL-OSR setups which this first benchmark results. A combined framework of SSL-OSR certainly improves the practicality and cost-efficiency of classifier training, and so further theoretical and application studies are also discussed.
ORB-SLAM2: an Open-Source SLAM System for Monocular, Stereo and RGB-D Cameras

description: We present ORB-SLAM2 a complete SLAM system for monocular, stereo and RGB-D cameras, including map reuse, loop closing and relocalization capabilities. The system works in real-time on standard CPUs in a wide variety of environments from small hand-held indoors sequences, to drones flying in industrial environments and cars driving around a city. Our back-end based on bundle adjustment with monocular and stereo observations allows for accurate trajectory estimation with metric scale. Our system includes a lightweight localization mode that leverages visual odometry tracks for unmapped regions and matches to map points that allow for zero-drift localization. The evaluation on 29 popular public sequences shows that our method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, being in most cases the most accurate SLAM solution. We publish the source code, not only for the benefit of the SLAM community, but with the aim of being an out-of-the-box SLAM solution for researchers in other fields.

Revisiting Evidence of Chaos in X-ray Light Curves: The Case of GRS 1915+105

description: Nonlinear time series analysis has been widely used to search for signatures of low-dimensional chaos in light curves emanating from astrophysical bodies. A particularly popular example is the microquasar GRS 1915+105, whose irregular but systematic X-ray variability has been well studied using data acquired by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. With a view to building simpler models of X-ray variability, attempts have been made to classify the light curves of GRS 1915+105 as chaotic or stochastic. Contrary to some of the earlier suggestions, after careful analysis, we find no evidence for chaos or determinism in any of the GRS 1915+105 classes. The dearth of long and stationary data sets representing all the different variability classes of GRS 1915+105 makes it a poor candidate for analysis using nonlinear time series techniques. We conclude that either very exhaustive data analysis with sufficiently long and stationary light curves should be performed, keeping all the pitfalls of nonlinear time series analysis in mind, or alternative schemes of classifying the light curves should be adopted. The generic limitations of the techniques that we point out in the context of GRS 1915+105 affect all similar investigations of light curves from other astrophysical sources.

description: The past 10 years have seen remarkable progress in our capability of analyzing reflection features in the X-ray spectra of accreting black holes. Today X-ray reflection spectroscopy is a mature technique and a powerful tool for studying the accretion process around black holes, measuring black hole spins, and testing Einstein's theory of General Relativity in the strong field regime. However, current reflection models still rely on a number of simplifications and caution is necessary when we derive very precise measurements. In this paper, we study the impact of the returning radiation on our capability of measuring the properties of black holes using X-ray reflection spectroscopy, and in particular on our capability of testing the Kerr black hole hypothesis. While the returning radiation alters the reflection spectrum of the disk, from the analysis of our simulations we find that models without returning radiation can normally recover well the correct black hole spin parameters and can test the Kerr metric. Our study thus confirms that current tests of the Kerr hypothesis using X-ray reflection spectroscopy can be robust.

description: A well-established observation in nuclear physics is that in neutron-rich spherical nuclei the distribution of neutrons extends farther than the distribution of protons. In this work, we scrutinize the influence of this so called neutron-skin effect on the centrality dependence of high-$p_{\rm T}$ direct-photon and charged-hadron production. We find that due to the estimated spatial dependence of the nuclear parton distribution functions, it will be demanding to unambiguously expose the neutron-skin effect with direct photons. However, when taking a ratio between the cross sections for negatively and positively charged high-$p_{\rm T}$ hadrons, even centrality-dependent nuclear-PDF effects cancel, making this observable a better handle on the neutron skin. Up to 20~\% effects can be expected for the most peripheral collisions.

description: States of low energy in cosmology minimise the energy density when smeared in a chosen time interval. We extend such construction to generic homogeneous (possibly anisotropic) particle creation settings. Focusing on the Schwinger effect, we study the role played by the support of the smearing function and identify the vacua obtained in the limiting cases of small and large time intervals. We also analyse the spectral properties of the power spectrum and the number of created particles, which are complementary in characterising the vacuum, and investigate the multipolar contributions coming from the anisotropies.

Pese a la evolución favorable de la implementación de la Ley de Transparencia, durante el período estudiado, a nivel de los portales web de las instituciones públicas aquí trabajadas, hay dimensiones que siguen siendo requeridas atender para el cumplimiento pertinente de la norma vigente. Tal es el caso de la transparencia sustantiva, considerada en este trabajo, por lo que las instituciones públicas españolas analizadas deberían garantizar la exposición jerárquica de los datos expuestos en sus portales institucionales, y una mayor claridad de los procedimientos de acceso a la información dispuesta en estos escenarios digitales, entre otros aspectos, que favorezcan mayores niveles de transparencia y participación de todos sus miembros y ciudadanos, tanto las informaciones como los procesos de gestión de estas.

Non-Hermitian coupled-mode theory for incoherently pumped exciton-polariton condensates

description: The generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation (gGPE) is an effective phenomenological description for the dynamics of incoherently pumped exciton-polariton condensates. However, a brute force numerical simulation of the gGPE provides little physical insight into condensate formation under arbitrary pumping configurations, and is demanding in terms of computational resources. We introduce in this paper a modal description of polariton condensation under incoherent pumping of arbitrary spatial profile, based on eigenmodes of the non-Hermitian generator of the linearized dynamics. A pump-dependent basis is then introduced to formulate a temporal coupled-mode theory that captures condensate dynamics in the presence of all nonlinear interactions. Simulations using a single set of modes for a given pumping and trapping configuration agree very well with a full integration of the gGPE in diverse dynamical regimes, supporting the validity of this modal description, while also providing a speedup in simulation times.

description: We measure carbon and nitrogen abundances to $\lesssim$ 0.1 dex for 450,000 giant stars from their low-resolution (R$\sim$1800) LAMOST DR2 survey spectra. We use these [C/M] and [N/M] measurements, together with empirical relations based on the APOKASC sample, to infer stellar masses and implied ages for 230,000 of these objects to 0.08 dex and 0.2 dex respectively. We use The Cannon, a data-driven approach to spectral modeling, to construct a predictive model for LAMOST spectra. Our reference set comprises 8125 stars observed in common between the APOGEE and LAMOST surveys, taking seven APOGEE DR12 labels (parameters) as ground truth: Teff, logg, [M/H], [$α$/M], [C/M], [N/M], and Ak. We add seven colors to the Cannon model, based on the g, r, i, J, H, K, W1, and W2 magnitudes from APASS, 2MASS & WISE, which improves our constraints on Teff and logg by up to 20% and on Ak by up to 70%. Cross-validation of the model demonstrates that, for high-SNR objects, our inferred labels agree with the APOGEE values to within 50 K in temperature, 0.04 magnitudes in Ak, and < 0.1 dex in logg, [M/H], [C/M], [N/M], and [$α$/M]. We apply the model to 450,000 giants in LAMOST DR2 that have not been observed by APOGEE. This demonstrates that precise individual abundances can be measured from low-resolution spectra, and represents the largest catalog of [C/M], [N/M], masses and ages to date. As as result, we greatly increase the number and sky coverage of stars with mass and age estimates.

description: One of the greatest challenges for forest management today is to develop proactive strategies for climate change. Research into the response of forest trees to climate change, the identification of drought-tolerant provenances, and in some areas finding new alternative tree species are key issues currently. In Central Europe, sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) is a potential member of forestry climate adaptation efforts. In this context, we investigated the genetic differentiation of sessile oak populations on a small geographical scale. To this end, three stands were sampled at three distinct altitudes with different exposures and site conditions within the Pilis-Tető region. In one of the three stands 12 downy oaks (Quercus pubescens Willd.) were also sampled to detect possible gene flow between the two coexisting species. Population genetic analyses (Structure, AMOVA, PCoA) were carried out by using 12 microsatellite markers on 87 sampled tree individuals.  Based on our results we detected significant genetic differentiation between populations even in the relatively small study area. Furthermore, our results support ongoing gene flow between the sympatric sessile oak and downy oak stands, which would be worth further investigation. Based on our findings, we also concluded that the populations of sessile oak, even in a geographically small region, cannot necessarily be genetically represented by the sampling of only one stand.
On the Eigenvalues of the ADER-WENO Galerkin Predictor

description: ADER-WENO methods have proved extremely useful in obtaining arbitrarily high-order solutions to problems involving hyperbolic systems of PDEs. For example, it has been demonstrated that for the same computational cost as a Runge-Kutta scheme of a certain order, one can obtain an ADER scheme of one higher order of accuracy. Additionally, Runge-Kutta schemes suffer from the presence of Butcher barriers, limiting the order of temporal accuracy that one can comfortably achieve. There are no such limitations present in ADER-WENO schemes. The cumbersome analytical derivation of the temporal derivatives of the solution required by the original ADER formulation has been replaced by the use of a cell-wise local Galerkin predictor. The predictor can take either a discontinuous or a continuous form. The Galerkin predictor is a high-order polynomial reconstruction of the data in both space and time, found as the root of a non-linear system. It has been conjectured that the eigenvalues of certain matrices appearing in these non-linear systems are always zero, leading to desirable system properties for certain classes of PDEs. It is proved here that this is in deed the case for any number of spatial dimensions and any desired order of accuracy, for both the discontinuous and continuous Galerkin variants. This result is independent of the choice of reconstruction basis polynomials.

Cognitive Science in the era of Artificial Intelligence: A roadmap for reverse-engineering the infant language-learner

description: During their first years of life, infants learn the language(s) of their environment at an amazing speed despite large cross cultural variations in amount and complexity of the available language input. Understanding this simple fact still escapes current cognitive and linguistic theories. Recently, spectacular progress in the engineering science, notably, machine learning and wearable technology, offer the promise of revolutionizing the study of cognitive development. Machine learning offers powerful learning algorithms that can achieve human-like performance on many linguistic tasks. Wearable sensors can capture vast amounts of data, which enable the reconstruction of the sensory experience of infants in their natural environment. The project of 'reverse engineering' language development, i.e., of building an effective system that mimics infant's achievements appears therefore to be within reach. Here, we analyze the conditions under which such a project can contribute to our scientific understanding of early language development. We argue that instead of defining a sub-problem or simplifying the data, computational models should address the full complexity of the learning situation, and take as input the raw sensory signals available to infants. This implies that (1) accessible but privacy-preserving repositories of home data be setup and widely shared, and (2) models be evaluated at different linguistic levels through a benchmark of psycholinguist tests that can be passed by machines and humans alike, (3) linguistically and psychologically plausible learning architectures be scaled up to real data using probabilistic/optimization principles from machine learning. We discuss the feasibility of this approach and present preliminary results.

description: In this work, we investigate the evolution of polarization, influence, and domination in online interaction networks. Twitter data collected before and during the 2022 Brazilian elections is used as a case study. From a theoretical perspective, we develop a methodology called d-modularity that allows discovering the contribution of specific groups to network polarization using the well-known modularity measure. While the overall network modularity (somewhat unexpectedly) decreased, the proposed group-oriented approach allows concluding that the contribution of the right-leaning community to this modularity increased, remaining very high during the analyzed period. Our methodology is general enough to be used in any situation when the contribution of specific groups to overall network modularity and polarization is needed to investigate. Moreover, using the concept of partial domination, we are able to compare the reach of sets of influential profiles from different groups and their ability to accomplish coordinated communication inside their groups and across segments of the entire network during some specific time window. We show that in the whole network, the left-leaning high-influential information spreaders dominated, reaching a substantial fraction of users with fewer spreaders. However, when comparing domination inside the groups, the results are inverse. Right-leaning spreaders dominate their communities using few nodes, showing as the most capable of accomplishing coordinated communication. The results bring evidence of extreme isolation and the ease of accomplishing coordinated communication that characterized right-leaning communities during the 2022 Brazilian elections.

description: The observations of supernovae (SNe) Ic occurring after the prompt emission of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are addressed within the binary-driven hypernova (BdHN) model where GRBs originate from a binary composed of a $\sim10M_\odot$ carbon-oxygen (CO) star and a neutron star (NS). The CO core collapse gives the trigger, leading to a hypernova with a fast-spinning newborn NS ($ν$NS) at its center. The evolution depends strongly on the binary period, $P_{\rm bin}$. For $P_{\rm bin}\sim5$min, BdHNe I occur with energies $10^{52}$--$10^{54}$erg. The accretion of SN ejecta onto the NS leads to its collapse, forming a black hole (BH) originating the MeV/GeV radiation. For $P_{\rm bin}\sim 10$min, BdHNe II occur with energies $10^{50}$--$10^{52}$erg and for $P_{\rm bin}\sim$hours, BdHN III occurs with energies below $10^{50}$erg. {In BdHNe II and III,} no BH is formed. The $1$--$1000$ms $ν$NS originates, in all BdHNe, the X-ray-optical-radio afterglows by synchrotron emission. The hypernova follows an independent evolution, becoming an SN Ic, powered by nickel decay, observable after the GRB prompt emission. We report $24$ SNe Ic associated with BdHNe. Their optical peak luminosity and time of occurrence are similar and independent of the associated GRBs. {From previously identified $380$ BdHN I comprising redshifts up to $z=8.2$, we analyze} four examples with their associated hypernovae. By multiwavelength extragalactic observations, we identify seven new Episodes, theoretically explained, fortunately not yet detected in galactic sources, opening new research areas. Refinement of population synthesis simulations is needed to map the progenitors of such short-lived binary systems inside our galaxy.

description: The introductory article in this issue argues for greater consideration of the impact of the Kosovo crisis on political developments in other Yugoslav republics and on the entire federal state structure of Yugoslavia after Tito’s death. It also calls for a closer examination of alternative paths that were considered by various actors to resolve the conflict but were not or could not be pursued. Such a discussion of developments in Kosovo in the 1980s in a broader Yugoslav perspective would, it is argued, also have the potential to contribute to a more complex understanding of the Kosovo crisis itself.
Consequences of R-Parity violating interactions for anomalies in $\bar B\to D^{(*)} τ\bar ν$ and $b\to s μ^+μ^-$

description: We investigate the possibility of explaining the enhancement in semileptonic decays of $\bar B \to D^{(*)} τ\bar ν$, the anomalies induced by $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ in $\bar B\to (K, K^*, ϕ)μ^+μ^-$ and violation of lepton universality in $R_K = Br(\bar B\to K μ^+μ^-)/Br(\bar B\to K e^+e^-)$ within the framework of R-parity violating (RPV) MSSM. Exchange of down type right-handed squark coupled to quarks and leptons yield interactions which are similar to leptoquark induced interactions that have been proposed to explain the $\bar B \to D^{(*)} τ\bar ν$ by tree level interactions and $b\to s μ^+μ^-$ anomalies by loop induced interactions, simultaneously. However, the Yukawa couplings in such theories have severe constraints from other rare processes in $B$ and $D$ decays. Although this interaction can provide a viable solution to $R(D^{(*)})$ anomaly, we show that with the severe constraint from $\bar B \to K ν\bar ν$, it is impossible to solve the anomalies in $b\to s μ^+μ^-$ process simultaneously.

description: The Galactic flux of cosmic-ray (CR) positrons in the GeV to TeV energy range is very likely due to different Galactic components. One of these is the inelastic scattering of CR nuclei with the atoms of the interstellar medium. The precise amount of this component determines the eventual contribution from other sources. We present here a new estimation of the secondary CR positron flux by incorporating the latest results for the production cross sections of $e^\pm$ from hadronic scatterings calibrated on collider data. All the reactions for CR nuclei up to silicon scattering on both hydrogen and helium are included. The propagation models are derived consistently by fits on primary and secondary CR nuclei data. Models with a small halo size ($L \leq 2$ kpc) are disfavored by the nuclei data although the current uncertainties on the beryllium nuclear cross sections may impact this result. The resulting positron flux shows a strong dependence on the Galactic halo size, increasing up to factor 1.5 moving $L$ from 8 to 2 kpc. Within the most reliable propagation models, the positron flux matches the data for energies below 1 GeV. We verify that secondary positrons contribute less than $70\%$ of the data above a few GeV, corroborating that an excess of positrons is already present at very low energies. At larger energies, our predictions are below the data with the discrepancy becoming more and more pronounced. Our results are provided together with uncertainties due to propagation and hadronic cross sections. The former uncertainties are below 5\% at fixed $L$, while the latter are about 7\% almost independently of the propagation scheme. In addition to the predictions of positrons, we provide new predictions also for the secondary CR electron flux.

Diffusion LMS for Multitask Problems with Local Linear Equality Constraints

description: We consider distributed multitask learning problems over a network of agents where each agent is interested in estimating its own parameter vector, also called task, and where the tasks at neighboring agents are related according to a set of linear equality constraints. Each agent possesses its own convex cost function of its parameter vector and a set of linear equality constraints involving its own parameter vector and the parameter vectors of its neighboring agents. We propose an adaptive stochastic algorithm based on the projection gradient method and diffusion strategies in order to allow the network to optimize the individual costs subject to all constraints. Although the derivation is carried out for linear equality constraints, the technique can be applied to other forms of convex constraints. We conduct a detailed mean-square-error analysis of the proposed algorithm and derive closed-form expressions to predict its learning behavior. We provide simulations to illustrate the theoretical findings. Finally, the algorithm is employed for solving two problems in a distributed manner: a minimum-cost flow problem over a network and a space-time varying field reconstruction problem.

description: Architected materials possessing physico-chemical properties adaptable to disparate environmental conditions embody a disruptive new domain of materials science. Fueled by advances in digital design and fabrication, materials shaped into lattice topologies enable a degree of property customization not afforded to bulk materials. A promising venue for inspiration toward their design is in the irregular micro-architectures of nature. However, the immense design variability unlocked by such irregularity is challenging to probe analytically. Here, we propose a new computational approach using graph-based representation for regular and irregular lattice materials. Our method uses differentiable message passing algorithms to calculate mechanical properties, therefore allowing automatic differentiation with surrogate derivatives to adjust both geometric structure and local attributes of individual lattice elements to achieve inversely designed materials with desired properties. We further introduce a graph neural network surrogate model for structural analysis at scale. The methodology is generalizable to any system representable as heterogeneous graphs.
