Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Moonkwang Jeon, Xiangzhou Tan, Felix Fischer, Tian Qiu, | Summary: Small-scale robots offer significant potential in minimally-invasive medical procedures. Due to the nature of soft biological tissues, however, robots are exposed to complex environments with various challenges in locomotion, which is essential to overcome for useful medical […]

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Johannes Mitscherling, Dan S. Borgnia, SuryaNeil Ahuja, Joel E. Moore, Vir B. Bulchandani | Summary: Traditional theories of electron transport in crystals are based on the Boltzmann equation and do not capture physics arising from quantum coherence. We introduce a transport formalism based on ”orbital Wigner […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Tomojit Chowdhury, Aurélie Champagne, Patrick Knüppel, Zehra Naqvi, Ariana Ray | Summary: Bilayer crystals, built by stacking crystalline monolayers, generate interlayer potentials that govern excitonic phenomena but are constrained by fixed covalent lattices and orientations. Replacing one layer with an atomically thin molecular crystal overcomes this […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Yang Zhang, Lukas Mehl, Markus Gross, Christopher Schroers | Summary: Despite recent advances in Novel View Synthesis (NVS), generating high-fidelity views from single or sparse observations remains a significant challenge. Existing splatting-based approaches often produce distorted geometry due to splatting errors. While diffusion-based methods leverage […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Zongyu Wu, Yuwei Niu, Hongcheng Gao, Minhua Lin, Zhiwei Zhang | Summary: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown impressive performance in various tasks. However, LVLMs suffer from hallucination, which hinders their adoption in the real world. Existing studies emphasized that the strong language priors of LVLMs can […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Tianchun Wang, Zichuan Liu, Yuanzhou Chen, Jonathan Light, Haifeng Chen | Summary: While increasing training compute has significantly improved the performance of large language models (LLMs), similar gains have not been observed when scaling inference compute. We hypothesize that the primary issue lies in the uniformity of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Yi J. Zhao, Samuel J. Garratt, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: We develop an excited-state real-space renormalization group (RSRG-X) formalism to describe the dynamics of conserved densities in randomly interacting spin-$frac{1}{2}$ systems. Our formalism is suitable for systems with $textrm{U}(1)$ and $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetries, and we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Jane Greenberg, Pamela Boveda-Aguirre, John Allison, Pietro Asinari, Maria Chan | Summary: The materials science community seeks to support the FAIR principles for computational simulation research. The MatCore Project was recently launched to address this need, with the goal of developing an overall metadata framework and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Kenneth Rudinger, J. P. Marceaux, Akel Hashim, David I. Santiago, Irfan Siddiqi | Summary: The calibration of high-quality two-qubit entangling gates is an essential component in engineering large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. However, many standard calibration techniques are based on randomized circuits that are only quadratically sensitive to […]
