Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Senrui Chen, Akel Hashim, Noah Goss, Alireza Seif, Irfan Siddiqi | Summary: Noise is a major challenge for building practical quantum computing systems. Precise characterization of quantum noise is crucial for developing effective error mitigation and correction schemes. However, state preparation and measurement (SPAM) errors on many […]

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Senrui Chen, Senrui Chen, , , | Summary: Noise is a major challenge for building practical quantum computing systems. Precise characterization of quantum noise is crucial for developing effective error mitigation and correction schemes. However, state preparation and measurement (SPAM) errors on many current platforms can introduce […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zehong Ma, Longhui Wei, Feng Wang, Shiliang Zhang, Qi Tian | Summary: Existing acceleration techniques for video diffusion models often rely on uniform heuristics or time-embedding variants to skip timesteps and reuse cached features. These approaches typically require extensive calibration with curated prompts and risk inconsistent outputs […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Hugo Laurell, Jonah R. Adelman, Elizaveta Yakovleva, Carl Hägglund, Kostiantyn Sopiha | Summary: In this study, coherent phonon motion is observed in bandgap excited CuIn$_{x}$Ga$_{(1-x)}$Se$_2$ (CIGS) utilizing extreme ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy across the Se M$_{4,5}$ absorption edge. Two frequencies of coherent phonon motion are […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Run He, Jiao Chen, Di Fang, Ming Li | Summary: Class-incremental learning (CIL) enables models to learn new classes continually without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. Multi-label CIL (MLCIL) extends CIL to a real-world scenario where each sample may belong to multiple classes, introducing several challenges: […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Guy Ohad, María Camarasa-Gómez, Jeffrey B. Neaton, Ashwin Ramasubramaniam, Tim Gould | Summary: Optimal tuning of functional parameters in density functional theory approximations, based on enforcing the ionization potential theorem, has emerged as the method of choice for the non-empirical prediction of the electronic structure of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Yiding Sun, Jiaxin Mao, Wei Xue, Danqing Xu | Summary: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various professional domains, with their performance typically evaluated through standardized benchmarks. However, the development of financial RAG benchmarks has been constrained by data confidentiality issues and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiaochen Wang, Zongyu Wu, Yuan Zhong, Xiang Zhang, Suhang Wang | Summary: Graph retrieval-augmented generation (GRAG) places high demands on graph-specific retrievers. However, existing retrievers often rely on language models pretrained on plain text, limiting their effectiveness due to domain misalignment and structure ignorance. To address these […]

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Seokjin Moon, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We study diffusion-controlled processes in nonequilibrium steady states, where standard rate theory assumptions break down. Using transition path theory, we generalize the relations between reactive probability fluxes and measures of the rate of the reaction. Stochastic thermodynamics […]
