description: Optical bottle beams can be used to trap atoms and small low-index particles. We introduce a figure of merit for optical bottle beams, specifically in the context of optical traps, and use it to compare optical bottle-beam traps obtained by three different methods. Using this figure of merit and an optimization algorithm, we identified optical bottle-beam traps based on a Gaussian beam illuminating a metasurface that are superior in terms of power efficiency than existing approaches. We numerically demonstrate a silicon metasurface for creating an optical bottle-beam trap.

description: Mainframes are efficient systems with immense storage and processing power. They support critical applications in industries like banking, healthcare, and logistics. These systems excel in batch processing, transaction handling, and managing large datasets. However, they lack modern analytics capabilities. Advanced tasks such as real-time fraud detection and predictive maintenance expose inefficiencies in legacy systems. The gap widens with rising data volumes and evolving operational demands. Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) offers a transformative solution. AI/ML models empower mainframes to perform advanced analytics, optimize processes, and enhance customer experiences. This article looks at how AI/ML integration can modernize mainframes.

description: In this study, we explore the effect of integrated auxiliary rods at varying angles to the primary cavity rod on the dispersion characteristics of the photonic crystal coupled cavity waveguide (PC CCW). Here, it is intended to break the symmetry of the cavity region by introducing auxiliary rods which gives the degree of freedom for tuning effective index of the PC waveguide. Furthermore, rotational angle variations of auxiliary rods reveal slow light operation of the PC CCW where the group index is maximized and group velocity dispersion, as well as the third-order dispersion, are minimized. In addition, auxiliary rods with a broken symmetry increase not only group index but also operating bandwidth and accordingly increase group bandwidth product by 675\%. Leveraging these results, we demonstrate effective rainbow trapping by manipulating the auxiliary rod angles in photonic crystal coupled cavity waveguides. Our results have encouraging implications for optical buffering, multiplexing, demultiplexing, advanced time-domain and spatial signal processing.

 For a community-affiliation network defined by a superposition of Bernoulli random graphs, which has a nonvanishing global clustering coefficient and a power-law degree distribution, we establish normal and $α$--stable approximations to the number of small cliques, cycles and more general $2$-connected subgraphs.

description: Accurate and robust estimation of quantum process properties is crucial for quantum information processing and quantum many-body physics. Combining classical shadow tomography and randomized benchmarking, Helsen et al. introduced a method to estimate the linear properties of quantum processes. In this work, we focus on the estimation protocols of nonlinear process properties that are robust to state preparation and measurement errors. We introduce two protocols, both utilizing random gate sequences but employing different post-processing methods, which make them suitable for measuring different nonlinear properties. The first protocol offers a robust and sound method to estimate the out-of-time-ordered correlation, as demonstrated numerically in an Ising model. The second protocol estimates unitarity, effectively characterizing the incoherence of quantum channels. We expect the two protocols to be useful tools for exploring quantum many-body physics and characterizing quantum processes.

description: Absolutely maximally entangled (AME) states of $k$ qudits (also known as perfect tensors) are quantum states that have maximal entanglement for all possible bipartitions of the sites/parties. We consider the problem of whether such states can be decomposed into a tensor network with a small number of tensors, such that all physical and all auxiliary spaces have the same dimension $D$. We find that certain AME states with $k=6$ can be decomposed into a network with only three 4-leg tensors; we provide concrete solutions for local dimension $D=5$ and higher. Our result implies that certain AME states with six parties can be created with only three two-site unitaries from a product state of three Bell pairs, or equivalently, with six two-site unitaries acting on a product state on six qudits. We also consider the problem for $k=8$, where we find similar tensor network decompositions with six 4-leg tensors.

description: With the growing size of pre-trained models, full fine-tuning and storing all the parameters for various downstream tasks is costly and infeasible. In this paper, we propose a new parameter-efficient fine-tuning method, Gradient-based Parameter Selection (GPS), demonstrating that only tuning a few selected parameters from the pre-trained model while keeping the remainder of the model frozen can generate similar or better performance compared with the full model fine-tuning method. Different from the existing popular and state-of-the-art parameter-efficient fine-tuning approaches, our method does not introduce any additional parameters and computational costs during both the training and inference stages. Another advantage is the model-agnostic and non-destructive property, which eliminates the need for any other design specific to a particular model. Compared with the full fine-tuning, GPS achieves 3.33% (91.78% vs. 88.45%, FGVC) and 9.61% (73.1% vs. 65.57%, VTAB) improvement of the accuracy with tuning only 0.36% parameters of the pre-trained model on average over 24 image classification tasks; it also demonstrates a significant improvement of 17% and 16.8% in mDice and mIoU, respectively, on medical image segmentation task. Moreover, GPS achieves state-of-the-art performance compared with existing PEFT methods.

Bactrodinae comprises only the genus Bactrodes Stål, with five described species (Maldonado 1990; Coscarón & Melo 2003). Coscarón & Melo (2003) revised the subfamily and gave a key to separate the species. The genus has been recorded from Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana, French Guiana, Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina (Maldonado 1990; Villiers 1971; Coscarón & Melo 2003). B. femoratus is commonly found on Aciotis laxa (Melastomataceae) in French Guiana (Bérenger & Pluot­Sigwalt 1997).
In Colombia, only B. spinulosus has been recorded (Coscarón & Melo 2003). The specimens listed below are a new species record from Colombia. The specimen examined from Cali was completely green when alive, and it was found preying on Chaetocnema sp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). No field prey information was previously known for any of the species of the genus.

description: Every positive multilinear map between $C^*$-algebras is separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that the joint weak$^*$-continuity is equivalent to the joint weak$^*$-continuity of the multiplications of $C^*$-algebras under consideration. We study the behavior of general tracial positive maps on properly infinite von Neumann algebras and by applying the Aron--Berner extension of multilinear maps, we establish that under some mild conditions every tracial positive multilinear map between general $C^*$-algebras enjoys a decomposition $Φ=φ_2 \circ φ_1$, in which $φ_1$ is a tracial positive linear map with the commutative range and $φ_2$ is a tracial completely positive map with the commutative domain. As an immediate consequence, tracial positive multilinear maps are completely positive. Furthermore, we prove that if the domain of a general tracial completely positive map $Φ$ between $C^*$-algebra is a von Neumann algebra, then $Φ$ has a similar decomposition. As an application, we investigate the generalized variance and covariance in quantum mechanics via arbitrary positive maps. Among others, an uncertainty relation inequality for commuting observables in a composite physical system is presented.

description: In the vicinity of the Milky Way Galactic Center, celestial bodies, including neutron stars, reside within a dense dark matter environment. This study explores the accumulation of dark matter by neutron stars through dark matter-nucleon interactions, leading to increased internal dark matter density. Consequently, dark matter annihilation produces long-lived mediators that escape and decay into neutrinos. Leveraging experimental limits from IceCube, ANTARES, and future projections from ARIA, we establish constraints on the dark matter-nucleon cross section within a simplified dark $U(1)_{X}$ mediator model. This approach, applicable to various celestial objects and dark matter models, offers insights into the intricate interplay between dark matter and neutron stars near the Galactic Center.

description: 3D Gaussian Splatting has recently emerged as a highly promising technique for modeling of static 3D scenes. In contrast to Neural Radiance Fields, it utilizes efficient rasterization allowing for very fast rendering at high-quality. However, the storage size is significantly higher, which hinders practical deployment, e.g. on resource constrained devices. In this paper, we introduce a compact scene representation organizing the parameters of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) into a 2D grid with local homogeneity, ensuring a drastic reduction in storage requirements without compromising visual quality during rendering. Central to our idea is the explicit exploitation of perceptual redundancies present in natural scenes. In essence, the inherent nature of a scene allows for numerous permutations of Gaussian parameters to equivalently represent it. To this end, we propose a novel highly parallel algorithm that regularly arranges the high-dimensional Gaussian parameters into a 2D grid while preserving their neighborhood structure. During training, we further enforce local smoothness between the sorted parameters in the grid. The uncompressed Gaussians use the same structure as 3DGS, ensuring a seamless integration with established renderers. Our method achieves a reduction factor of 17x to 42x in size for complex scenes with no increase in training time, marking a substantial leap forward in the domain of 3D scene distribution and consumption. Additional information can be found on our project page: https://fraunhoferhhi.github.io/Self-Organizing-Gaussians/

description: We introduce a novel, model-independent method for the efficient simulation of low-entropy systems, whose dynamics can be accurately described with a limited number of states. Our method leverages the time-dependent variational principle to efficiently integrate the Lindblad master equation, dynamically identifying and modifying the low-rank basis over which we decompose the system's evolution. By dynamically adapting the dimension of this basis, and thus the rank of the density matrix, our method maintains optimal representation of the system state, offering a substantial computational advantage over existing adaptive low-rank schemes in terms of both computational time and memory requirements. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method through extensive benchmarks on a variety of model systems, with a particular emphasis on multi-qubit bosonic codes, a promising candidate for fault-tolerant quantum hardware. Our results highlight the method's versatility and efficiency, making it applicable to a wide range of systems characterized by arbitrary degrees of entanglement and moderate entropy throughout their dynamics. We provide an implementation of the method as a Julia package, making it readily available to use.

description: Losses in the transmission channel, which increase with distance, pose a major obstacle to photonics demonstrations of quantum nonlocality and its applications. Recently, Chaturvedi, Viola, and Pawlowski (CVP) [arXiv:2211.14231] introduced a variation of standard Bell experiments with the goal of extending the range over which quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated. In these experiments, which we call 'routed Bell experiments', Bob can route his quantum particle along two possible paths and measure it at two distinct locations - one near and another far from the source. The idea is that a Bell violation in the short-path should weaken the conditions required to detect nonlocal correlations in the long-path. Indeed, CVP showed that there are quantum correlations in routed Bell experiments such that the outcomes of the remote device cannot be classically predetermined, even when its detection efficiency is arbitrarily low. In this paper, we show that the correlations considered by CVP, though they cannot be classically predetermined, do not require the transmission of quantum systems to the remote device. This leads us to define the concept of 'short-range' and 'long-range' quantum correlations in routed Bell experiments. We show that these correlations can be characterized through standard semidefinite programming hierarchies for non-commutative polynomial optimization. We then explore the conditions under which short-range quantum correlations can be ruled out. We point out that there exist fundamental lower-bounds on the critical detection efficiency of the distant device, implying that routed Bell experiments cannot demonstrate long-range quantum nonlocality at arbitrarily large distances. However, we do find that routed Bell experiments allow for reducing the detection efficiency threshold. The improvements, though, are significantly smaller than those suggested by CVP's analysis.

description: We prove that a finite set of natural numbers $J$ satisfies that $J\cup\{0\}$ is not Sidon if and only if for any operator $T$, the disjoint hypercyclicity of $\{T^j:j\in J\}$ implies that $T$ is weakly mixing. As an application we show the existence of a non weakly mixing operator $T$ such that $T\oplus T^2\ldots \oplus T^n$ is hypercyclic for every $n$.

description: Space-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors are expected to detect the stellar-mass binary black holes (SBBHs) inspiralling in the low-frequency band, which exist in several years before the merger. Accurate GW waveforms in the inspiral phase are crucial for the detection and analysis of those SBBHs. In our study, based on post-Newtonian (PN) models, we investigate the differences in the detection, accuracy requirement, and parameter estimation of SBBHs in the cases of LISA, Taiji, and their joint detection. We find that low-order PN models are sufficient for simulating low-mass ($\le 50\ \mathrm{M}_\odot$) SBBHs population. Moreover, for detectable SBBHs in space-based GW detectors, over 90% of the GW signals from low-order PN models meet accuracy requirement. Additionally, different PN models do not exhibit significant differences in Bayesian inference. Our research provides a comprehensive reference for balancing computational resources and the desired accuracy of GW waveform generation. It highlights the suitability of low-order PN models for simulating SBBHs and emphasizes their potential in the detection and parameter estimation of SBBHs.

Statistical learning theory and Occam's razor: The core argument

description: Statistical learning theory is often associated with the principle of Occam's razor, which recommends a simplicity preference in inductive inference. This paper distills the core argument for simplicity obtainable from statistical learning theory, built on the theory's central learning guarantee for the method of empirical risk minimization. This core "means-ends" argument is that a simpler hypothesis class or inductive model is better because it has better learning guarantees; however, these guarantees are model-relative and so the theoretical push towards simplicity is checked by our prior knowledge.

description: Recent deep and wide radio surveys extend the studies for radio-excess active galactic nuclei (radio-AGNs) to lower luminosities and higher redshifts, providing new insights into the abundance and physical origin of radio-AGNs. Here we focus on the cosmic evolution, physical properties and AGN-host galaxy connections of radio-AGNs selected from a sample of ~ 500,000 galaxies at 0 < z < 4 in GOODS-N, GOODS-S, and COSMOS fields. Combining deep radio data with multi-band, de-blended far-infrared (FIR) and sub-millimeter data, we identify 1162 radio-AGNs through radio excess relative to the FIR-radio relation. We study the cosmic evolution of 1.4 GHz radio luminosity functions (RLFs) for star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and radio-AGNs, which are well described by a pure luminosity evolution of $L_*\propto (1+z)^{-0.31z+3.41}$ and a pure density evolution of $Φ_*\propto (1+z)^{-0.80z+2.88}$, respectively. We derive the turnover luminosity above which the number density of radio-AGNs surpasses that of SFGs. This crossover luminosity increases as increasing redshift, from $10^{22.9}$ W Hz$^{-1}$ at z ~ 0 to $10^{25.2}$ W Hz$^{-1}$ at z ~ 4. At full redshift range (0 < z < 4), we further derive the probability ($p_{radio}$) of SFGs and quiescent galaxies (QGs) hosting a radio-AGN as a function of stellar mass ($M_*$), radio luminosity ($L_R$), and redshift (z), which yields $p_{radio}\propto (1+z)^{3.54}M_*^{1.02}L_R^{-0.90}$ for SFGs, and $p_{radio}\propto (1+z)^{2.38}M_*^{1.39}L_R^{-0.60}$ for QGs, respectively. It indicates that radio-AGNs in QGs prefer to reside in more massive galaxies with larger $L_R$ than those in SFGs, and radio-AGN fraction increases towards higher redshift in both SFGs and QGs with a more rapid increase in SFGs. Further, we find that the radio-AGN fraction depends on accretion states of BHs and redshift in SFGs, while in QGs it also depends on BH (or galaxy) mass.

description: We put forward a generalized procedure which allows to restore the bulk-like electron and hole wave functions localized in certain valleys from the wave functions of quantum confined electron/hole states obtained in atomistic calculations of nanostructures. As a demonstration, the procedure is applied to the lead chalcogenide quantum dots to extract the effective intravalley Hamiltonian of the exchange interaction for the ground exciton state PbS and PbSe quantum dots. Renormalization of the anisotropic intravalley matrix elemets of velocity is also calculated. The results demonstrate that the matrix elements of intravalley exchange in PbS quantum dots are much more anisotropic than ones in PbSe.

description: Random walk algorithms are crucial for sampling and approximation problems in statistical physics and theoretical computer science. The mixing property is necessary for Markov chains to approach stationary distributions and is facilitated by walks. Quantum walks show promise for faster mixing times than classical methods but lack universal proof, especially in finite group settings. Here, we investigate the continuous-time quantum walks on Cayley graphs of the dihedral group $D_{2n}$ for odd $n$, generated by the smallest inverse closed symmetric subset. We present a significant finding that, in contrast to the classical mixing time on these Cayley graphs, which typically takes at least order $Ω(n^2 \log(1/2ε))$, the continuous-time quantum walk mixing time on $D_{2n}$ is of order $O(n (\log n)^5 \log(1/ε))$, achieving a quadratic improvement over the classical case. Our paper advances the general understanding of quantum walk mixing on Cayley graphs, highlighting the improved mixing time achieved by continuous-time quantum walks on $D_{2n}$. This work has potential applications in algorithms for a class of sampling problems based on non-abelian groups.

description: The respiratory epithelium plays a critical role in maintaining respiratory health by serving as a barrier and an active participant in defense mechanisms against pathogens, allergens, and environmental irritants. This specialized pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium, interspersed with goblet cells, lines much of the respiratory tract and is essential for mucociliary clearance. Its unique structural adaptations facilitate the filtration, humidification, and warming of inhaled air. The transition from conducting to gas-exchange regions involves histological changes, with alveolar epithelium optimizing gas exchange through the interplay of Type I and Type II pneumocytes. Dysfunction or damage to the respiratory epithelium is implicated in various diseases, including asthma, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, highlighting its importance in maintaining respiratory homeostasis. This review provides an overview of the structure, function, and pathophysiological significance of the respiratory epithelium, emphasizing its role in health and disease.

description: In this paper, we introduce the Volumetric Relightable Morphable Model (VRMM), a novel volumetric and parametric facial prior for 3D face modeling. While recent volumetric prior models offer improvements over traditional methods like 3D Morphable Models (3DMMs), they face challenges in model learning and personalized reconstructions. Our VRMM overcomes these by employing a novel training framework that efficiently disentangles and encodes latent spaces of identity, expression, and lighting into low-dimensional representations. This framework, designed with self-supervised learning, significantly reduces the constraints for training data, making it more feasible in practice. The learned VRMM offers relighting capabilities and encompasses a comprehensive range of expressions. We demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of VRMM through various applications like avatar generation, facial reconstruction, and animation. Additionally, we address the common issue of overfitting in generative volumetric models with a novel prior-preserving personalization framework based on VRMM. Such an approach enables high-quality 3D face reconstruction from even a single portrait input. Our experiments showcase the potential of VRMM to significantly enhance the field of 3D face modeling.

description: The inherent complexity of system-bath interactions often requires making critical approximations, which we here show to have a radical influence on the renormalization group flow and the resulting phase diagram. Specifically, for the Caldeira-Leggett model Schmid and Bulgadaev (SB) predicted a phase transition, whose experimental verification in resistive superconducting circuits is currently hotly debated. For normal metal and Josephson junction array resistors, we show that the mapping to Caldeira-Leggett is only exact when applying approximations which decompactify the superconducting phase. We show that there exist treatments that retain phase compactness, which immediately lead to a phase diagram depending on four instead of two parameters. While we still find an SB-like transition in the transmon regime, the critical parameter is controlled exclusively by the capacitive coupling. In contrast, the Cooper pair box maps to the anisotropic Kondo model, where a pseudoferromagnetic phase is not allowed for regular electrostatic interactions.
