PhysibleMDM: Enforcing Inference-Time Physical Feasibility Constraints on Motion Diffusion Models via Noise Optimization

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:Motion Diffusion Models (MDMs) can generate diverse and visually appealing human motion; yet, the resulting trajectories frequently violate physical constraints, limiting their downstream use in simulation and control. We present PhysibleMDM, a framework that promotes physical feasibility of MDM output by optimizing at inference time the diffusion noise without retraining […]

Electrically Pumped Quadratic-Soliton Mode-Locked Laser in Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | Summary:Femtosecond mode-locked lasers are the workhorse of modern photonics, enabling optical atomic clocks, frequency combs, precision spectroscopy, and ultrafast signal processing. Bringing them onto nanophotonic chips promises miniaturized ultrafast systems, yet combining femtosecond pulse generation with electrical pumping remains a major challenge, rooted in a trade-off between the speed and […]
