PhysWorld: From Real Videos to World Models of Deformable Objects via Physics-Aware Demonstration Synthesis

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yu Yang, Yu Yang, , , | Summary: Interactive world models that simulate object dynamics are crucial for robotics, VR, and AR. However, it remains a significant challenge to learn physics-consistent dynamics models from limited real-world video data, especially for deformable objects with spatially-varying physical properties. To […]

Quantum Sensing of Gravitational Frame-Dragging with a Superfluid $^4$He Gyrometer

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Kai-Isaak Ellers, Kai-Isaak Ellers, , , | Summary: We propose a laboratory-scale experiment to locally measure the general relativistic frame-dragging effect on Earth using the macroscopic quantum properties of a novel superfluid $^4$He single Josephson junction gyrometer. We derive the frame-dragging and related geodetic and Thomas effects […]

Impartial Selection with Predictions

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Javier Cembrano, Javier Cembrano, , , | Summary: We study the selection of agents based on mutual nominations, a theoretical problem with many applications from committee selection to AI alignment. As agents both select and are selected, they may be incentivized to misrepresent their true opinion about […]

A Quantum Algorithm for the Finite Element Method

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Ahmad M. Alkadri, Ahmad M. Alkadri, , , | Summary: The finite element method (FEM) is a cornerstone numerical technique for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). Here, we present $textbfQu-FEM$, a fault-tolerant era quantum algorithm for the finite element method. In contrast to other quantum PDE solvers, […]
