Measurement-Induced Phase Transition in a Disordered XX Spin Chain: A Real-Space Renormalization Group Study

Kavli Affiliate: Joel Moore | Summary:Spin chains with quenched disorder exhibit rich critical behavior, often captured by real-space renormalization group (RSRG) techniques. However, the physics of such systems in the presence of random measurements (i.e., non-Hermitian dephasing) remains largely unexplored. The interplay between measurements and unitary dynamics gives rise to novel phases and phase transitions […]

EquiContact: A Hierarchical SE(3) Vision-to-Force Equivariant Policy for Spatially Generalizable Contact-rich Tasks

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Joohwan Seo, Joohwan Seo, , , | Summary: This paper presents a framework for learning vision-based robotic policies for contact-rich manipulation tasks that generalize spatially across task configurations. We focus on achieving robust spatial generalization of the policy for the peg-in-hole (PiH) task trained from a small […]

Attosecond charge transfer in atomic-resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | Summary:Electrons in atoms and molecules move on attosecond time scales. Deciphering their quantum dynamics in space and time calls for high-resolution microscopy at this speed. While scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) driven with terahertz pulses has visualized sub-picosecond motion of single atoms, the advent of attosecond light pulses has provided access […]

Multi-modal Mutual-Guidance Conditional Prompt Learning for Vision-Language Models

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Shijun Yang, Shijun Yang, , , | Summary: Prompt learning facilitates the efficient adaptation of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to various downstream tasks. However, it faces two significant challenges: (1) inadequate modeling of class embedding distributions for unseen instances, leading to suboptimal generalization on novel classes; (2) prevailing […]

Gap reopening as signature of coupling between Majorana zero modes in Sn-(Bi,Sb)2(Te,S)3-based Josephson trijunctions

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Duolin Wang, Duolin Wang, , , | Summary: In the past two decades, enormous efforts have been made to search for possible platforms and schemes to implement topological quantum computation (TQC). In exploring the Fu-Kane scheme of TQC based on Josephson trijunctions constructed on topological insulators, the […]

Noise-Canceling Quantum Feedback: non-Hermitian Dynamics with Applications to State Preparation and Magic State Distillation

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | Summary:Time-continuous quantum measurement allows for the tracking of a quantum system in real time via sequences of short, and individually weak, measurement intervals. Such measurements are necessarily invasive, imparting backaction to the system, and allowing the observer to update their state estimate based on stochastic measurement outcomes. Feedback control then […]
