Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Nikolay V. Tkachenko, Hang Ren, Wendy M. Billings, Rebecca Tomann, K. Birgitta Whaley | Summary: Near-term quantum devices require wavefunction ans"atze that are expressive while also of shallow circuit depth in order to both accurately and efficiently simulate molecular electronic structure. While unitary coupled cluster (e.g., UCCSD) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhengyang Lu, Bingjie Lu, Weifan Wang, Feng Wang, | Summary: Fabric defect detection confronts two fundamental challenges. First, conventional non-maximum suppression disrupts gradient flow, which hinders genuine end-to-end learning. Second, acquiring pixel-level annotations at industrial scale is prohibitively costly. Addressing these limitations, we propose a differentiable NMS […]

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | First 5 Authors: Martin Selin, Antonio Ciarlo, Giuseppe Pesce, Lars Bengtsson, Joan Camunas-Soler | Summary: There is a trend in research towards more automation using smart systems powered by artificial intelligence. While experiments are often challenging to automate, they can greatly benefit from automation by reducing labor and increasing reproducibility. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Divyansh Srivastava, Xiang Zhang, He Wen, Chenru Wen, Zhuowen Tu | Summary: We present Lay-Your-Scene (shorthand LayouSyn), a novel text-to-layout generation pipeline for natural scenes. Prior scene layout generation methods are either closed-vocabulary or use proprietary large language models for open-vocabulary generation, limiting their modeling capabilities and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zilong Chen, Yikai Wang, Wenqiang Sun, Feng Wang, Yiwen Chen | Summary: In this paper, we introduce MeshGen, an advanced image-to-3D pipeline that generates high-quality 3D meshes with detailed geometry and physically based rendering (PBR) textures. Addressing the challenges faced by existing 3D native diffusion models, such […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Shuqi Zhao, Ke Yang, Yuxin Chen, Chenran Li, Yichen Xie | Summary: Dexterous manipulation has seen remarkable progress in recent years, with policies capable of executing many complex and contact-rich tasks in simulation. However, transferring these policies from simulation to real world remains a significant challenge. One […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Peichen Zhong, Xinzhe Dai, Bowen Deng, Gerbrand Ceder, Kristin A. Persson | Summary: We present Crystal Host-Guided Generation (CHGGen), a diffusion-based framework for crystal structure prediction. Unconditional generation with diffusion models demonstrates limited efficacy in identifying symmetric crystals as the unit cell size increases. CHGGen addresses […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Haoyuan Zhao, Jianxin Shi, Guanzhen Wu, Hao Fang, Yi Ching Chou | Summary: The advent of Low-Earth Orbit satellite networks (LSNs), exemplified by initiatives like emph{Starlink}, emph{OneWeb} and emph{Kuiper}, has ushered in a new era of “Internet from Space" global connectivity. Recent studies have shown that LSNs […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Wayne Zhao, Ruo Xi Yang, Aaron D. Kaplan, Kristin A. Persson, | Summary: Current infrared sensing devices are based on costly materials with relatively few viable alternatives known. To identify promising candidate materials for infrared photodetection, we have developed a high-throughput screening methodology based on high-accuracy […]

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Hang Ren, Yipei Zhang, Wendy M. Billings, Rebecca Tomann, Nikolay V. Tkachenko | Summary: We present a shadow-tomography-enhanced Non-Orthogonal Quantum Eigensolver (NOQE) for more efficient and accurate electronic structure calculations on near-term quantum devices. By integrating shadow tomography into the NOQE, the measurement cost scales linearly rather […]
