Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Zhou Li, Zhou Li, , , | Summary: Motivated by federated learning (FL), secure aggregation (SA) aims to securely compute, as efficiently as possible, the sum of a set of inputs distributed across many users. To understand the impact of network topology, hierarchical secure aggregation (HSA) investigated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ziqiang CHen, Ziqiang CHen, , , | Summary: This letter investigates the robust beamforming design for a near-field secure integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system with multiple communication users (CUs) and targets, as well as multiple eavesdroppers. Taking into account the channel uncertainty constraints, we maximize the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Siddharth Tiwary, Siddharth Tiwary, , , | 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Baojiao Xiong, Baojiao Xiong, , , | Summary: We present BlueLM-2.5-3B, a compact and unified dense Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) designed for efficient edge-device deployment, offering strong general-purpose and reasoning capabilities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first 3B-scale MLLM to support both […]
Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Tathagata Karmakar, Tathagata Karmakar, , , | 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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Matthew C. Kuner, Matthew C. Kuner, , , | Summary: We present MP-ALOE, a dataset of nearly 1 million DFT calculations using the accurate r2SCAN meta-generalized gradient approximation. Covering 89 elements, MP-ALOE was created using active learning and primarily consists of off-equilibrium structures. We benchmark a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Gheorghe Comanici, Gheorghe Comanici, , , | Summary: In this report, we introduce the Gemini 2.X model family: Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash, as well as our earlier Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash-Lite models. Gemini 2.5 Pro is our most capable model yet, achieving SoTA […]
