Rectified Robust Policy Optimization for Model-Uncertain Constrained Reinforcement Learning without Strong Duality

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Shaocong Ma, Shaocong Ma, , , | Summary: The goal of robust constrained reinforcement learning (RL) is to optimize an agent’s performance under the worst-case model uncertainty while satisfying safety or resource constraints. In this paper, we demonstrate that strong duality does not generally hold in robust […]

A Single-Molecule Quantum Heat Engine

Kavli Affiliate: Herre Van Der Zant | Summary:Particle-exchange heat engines operate without moving parts or time-dependent driving, relying solely on static energy-selective transport. Here, we realize a particle-exchange quantum heat engine based on a single diradical molecule, only a few nanometers in size. We experimentally investigate its operation at low temperatures and demonstrate that both […]

Tunable Superconducting Quantum Interference Device Coupler for Fluxonium Qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | Summary:Tunable couplers enable high-fidelity two-qubit gates leveraging high on/off coupling ratios and reduced crosstalk within a single design. We investigate a galvanically connected direct-current superconducting quantum interference device (dc SQUID) as a minimal tunable coupling element for fluxonium qubits. Comparing grounded and floating fluxonium designs, we find that the latter […]
