Minimising statistical errors in calibration of quantum-gate sets

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Yaiza Aragonés-Soria, René Otten, Tobias Hangleiter, Pascal Cerfontaine, David Gross | Summary: Calibration of quantum gates is a necessary hurdle to overcome on the way to a reliable quantum computer. In a recent paper, a protocol called Gate Set Calibration protocol (GSC) has been introduced and used […]

Towards Understanding and Mitigating Audio Adversarial Examples for Speaker Recognition

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Guangke Chen, Zhe Zhao, Fu Song, Sen Chen, Lingling Fan | Summary: Speaker recognition systems (SRSs) have recently been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, raising significant security concerns. In this work, we systematically investigate transformation and adversarial training based defenses for securing SRSs. According to […]

Effects of Laser-Annealing on Fixed-Frequency Superconducting Qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Hyunseong Kim, Christian Jünger, Alexis Morvan, Edward S. Barnard, William P. Livingston | Summary: As superconducting quantum processors increase in complexity, techniques to overcome constraints on frequency crowding are needed. The recently developed method of laser-annealing provides an effective post-fabrication method to adjust the frequency of superconducting […]

Strong Second Harmonic Generation from Bilayer Graphene with Symmetry Breaking by Redox-Governed Charge Doping

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Mingwen Zhang, Nannan Han, Jing Wang, Zhihong Zhang, Kaihui Liu | Summary: Missing second-order nonlinearity in centrosymmetric graphene overshadows its intriguing optical attribute. Here, we report redox-governed charge doping could effectively break the centrosymmetry of bilayer graphene (BLG), enabling a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) with a […]

Boson-fermion duality with subsystem symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Weiguang Cao, Masahito Yamazaki, Yunqin Zheng, , | Summary: We explore an exact duality in $(2+1)$d between the fermionization of a bosonic theory with a $mathbb{Z}_2$ subsystem symmetry and a fermionic theory with a $mathbb{Z}_2$ subsystem fermion parity symmetry. A typical example is the duality between the […]

Ramification theory from homotopical point of view, I

Kavli Affiliate: Tomoyuki Abe | First 5 Authors: Tomoyuki Abe, , , , | Summary: We prove the compatibility of pushforward along a proper morphism of an ‘{e}tale constructible sheaf and the pushforward of its characteristic cycle up to $p$-torsion. This was conjectured by Takeshi Saito. For this, we revisit the construction of the characteristic […]

OrdinalCLIP: Learning Rank Prompts for Language-Guided Ordinal Regression

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Wanhua Li, Xiaoke Huang, Zheng Zhu, Yansong Tang, Xiu Li | Summary: This paper presents a language-powered paradigm for ordinal regression. Existing methods usually treat each rank as a category and employ a set of weights to learn these concepts. These methods are easy to overfit and […]
