ROLO-SLAM: Rotation-Optimized LiDAR-Only SLAM in Uneven Terrain with Ground Vehicle

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yinchuan Wang, Bin Ren, Xiang Zhang, Pengyu Wang, Chaoqun Wang | Summary: LiDAR-based SLAM is recognized as one effective method to offer localization guidance in rough environments. However, off-the-shelf LiDAR-based SLAM methods suffer from significant pose estimation drifts, particularly components relevant to the vertical direction, when passing […]

Single-image reflection removal via self-supervised diffusion models

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhengyang Lu, Weifan Wang, Tianhao Guo, Feng Wang, | Summary: Reflections often degrade the visual quality of images captured through transparent surfaces, and reflection removal methods suffers from the shortage of paired real-world samples.This paper proposes a hybrid approach that combines cycle-consistency with denoising diffusion probabilistic models […]

Quantum particle in the wrong box (or: the perils of finite-dimensional approximations)

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Felix Fischer, Daniel Burgarth, Davide Lonigro, , | Summary: When numerically simulating the unitary time evolution of an infinite-dimensional quantum system, one is usually led to treat the Hamiltonian $H$ as an ”infinite-dimensional matrix” by expressing it in some orthonormal basis of the Hilbert space, and then […]

Entropy as a Design Principle in the Photosystem II Supercomplex

Kavli Affiliate: Graham R. Fleming | First 5 Authors: Johanna L. Hall, Shiun-Jr Yang, David T. Limmer, Graham R. Fleming, | Summary: Photosystem II (PSII) can achieve near-unity quantum efficiency of light harvesting in ideal conditions and can dissipate excess light energy as heat to prevent formation of reactive oxygen species under light stress. Understanding […]

Molecular tuning of excitons and polarization anisotropy in hybrid bilayer crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Tomojit Chowdhury, Aurélie Champagne, Fauzia Mujid, Patrick Knüppel, Zehra Naqvi | Summary: Bilayer crystals, built from monolayers of two-dimensional (2D) crystals with different lattice orientations, generate interlayer potentials leading to unique excitonic properties. However, the ability to tune the interlayer potential is limited by the fixed […]
