Copas-Jackson-type bounds for publication bias over a general class of selection models

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Taojun Hu, Taojun Hu, , , | Summary: Publication bias (PB) is one of the most vital threats to the accuracy of meta-analysis. Adjustment or sensitivity analysis based on selection models, which describe the probability of a study being published, provide a more objective evaluation of PB […]

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 S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Serhii Volosheniuk, Serhii Volosheniuk, , , | 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 […]

Tunable Superconducting Quantum Interference Device Coupler for Fluxonium Qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Abhishek Chakraborty, Abhishek Chakraborty, , , | 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. […]
