Solving k-SAT problems with generalized quantum measurement

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Yipei Zhang, Philippe Lewalle, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: We generalize the projection-based quantum measurement-driven $k$-SAT algorithm of Benjamin, Zhao, and Fitzsimons (BZF, arxiv:1711.02687) to arbitrary strength quantum measurements, including the limit of continuous monitoring. In doing so, we clarify that this algorithm is a particular […]

The Precursor Small Aperture Telescope (PreSAT) CMB polarimeter

Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Matthew A. Petroff, Zeeshan Ahmed, James J. Bock, Marion Dierickx, Sofia Fatigoni | Summary: The search for the polarized imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as direct evidence of cosmic inflation requires exquisite sensitivity and control over systematics. The next-generation CMB-S4 […]

Evaluating Short-Term Temporal Fluctuations of Social Biases in Social Media Data and Masked Language Models

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Danushka Bollegala, Jose Camacho-Collados, , | Summary: Social biases such as gender or racial biases have been reported in language models (LMs), including Masked Language Models (MLMs). Given that MLMs are continuously trained with increasing amounts of additional data collected over time, an important yet […]

A surprising excess of radio emission in extremely stable quasars: a unique clue to jet launching?

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Wen-Yong Kang, Jun-Xian Wang, Zhen-Yi Cai, Hao-Chen Wang, Wen-Ke Ren | Summary: Quasars are generally divided into jetted radio-loud and non-jetted radio-quiet ones, but why only 10% quasars are radio loud has been puzzling for decades. Other than jet-induced-phenomena, black hole mass, or Eddington ratio, prominent difference […]
