Probing quantum many-body scars on a superconducting processor

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Pengfei Zhang, Hang Dong, Yu Gao, Liangtian Zhao, Jie Hao | Summary: Thermalization in complex and strongly interacting quantum many-body systems represents an obstacle to applications. It was recently suggested theoretically that quantum many-body scarring (QMBS) states embedded in the thermalized energy spectrum can overcome this difficulty. […]

Preserving Domain Private Representation via Mutual Information Maximization

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jiahong Chen, Jing Wang, Weipeng Lin, Kuangen Zhang, Clarence W. de Silva | Summary: Recent advances in unsupervised domain adaptation have shown that mitigating the domain divergence by extracting the domain-invariant representation could significantly improve the generalization of a model to an unlabeled data domain. Nevertheless, the […]

Classification of solutions to several semi-linear polyharmonic equations and fractional equations

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Zhuoran Du, Zhenping Feng, Yuan Li, , | Summary: We are concerned with the following semi-linear polyharmonic equation with integral constraint begin{align} left{begin{array}{rl} &(-Delta)^pu=u^gamma_+ ~~ mbox{ in }{mathbb{R}^n},\ nonumber &int_{mathbb{R}^n}u_+^{gamma}dx<+infty, end{array}right. end{align} where $n>2p$, $pgeq2$ and $pinmathbb{Z}$. We obtain for $gammain(1,frac{n}{n-2p})$ that any nonconstant solution satisfying certain […]
