Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Francisca Sagredo, María Camarasa-Gómez, Francesco Ricci, Aurélie Champagne, Leeor Kronik | Summary: Hybrid functionals have been considered insufficiently reliable for the prediction of band gaps in solids and surfaces. We revisit this issue with a new generation of optimally-tuned range-separated hybrid functionals, focusing on the reconstructed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Juntai Cao, Jiaqi Wei, Chenyu You, Dujian Ding | Summary: Despite the remarkable successes of Large Language Models (LLMs), their fundamental Transformer architecture possesses inherent theoretical limitations that restrict their capability to handle reasoning tasks with increasing computational complexity. Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has emerged as […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Juntai Cao, Jiaqi Wei, Chenyu You, Dujian Ding | Summary: Despite the remarkable successes of large language models (LLMs), the underlying Transformer architecture has inherent limitations in handling complex reasoning tasks. Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting has emerged as a practical workaround, but most CoT-based methods rely […]

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Robert L. Cook, Liwen Ko, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: We study the connection between exceptional points (EPs) and optimal parameter estimation, in a simple system consisting of two counter-propagating traveling wave modes in a microring resonator. The unknown parameter to be estimated is the strength […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Chenyin Gao, Xiang Zhang, Shu Yang, , | Summary: Externally controlled trials are crucial in clinical development when randomized controlled trials are unethical or impractical. These trials consist of a full treatment arm with the experimental treatment and a full external control arm. However, they present significant […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Jianshu Zhou, Junda Huang, Boyuan Liang, Xiang Zhang, Xin Ma | Summary: Robotic manipulators, traditionally designed with classical joint-link articulated structures, excel in industrial applications but face challenges in human-centered and general-purpose tasks requiring greater dexterity and adaptability. Addressing these limitations, we introduce the Prismatic-Bending Transformable (PBT) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Larry Chen, Kan-Heng Lee, Chuan-Hong Liu, Brian Marinelli, Ravi K. Naik | Summary: State-of-the-art superconducting quantum processors containing tens to hundreds of qubits have demonstrated the building blocks for realizing fault-tolerant quantum computation. Nonetheless, a fundamental barrier to scaling further is the prevalence of fluctuating quantum two-level […]

Kavli Affiliate: Graham Fleming | First 5 Authors: Yuping Shi, Partha Roy, Naoki Higashitarumizue, Tsung-Yen Lee, Quanwei Li | Summary: A combination of ultrafast, long-range and low-loss excitation energy transfer from the photo-receptor location to a functionally active site is essential for cost-effective polymeric semiconductors. Delocalized electronic wavefunctions along {pi}-conjugated polymer backbone can enable efficient […]
