Quantum states interrogation using a pre-shaped free electron wavefunction

Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | First 5 Authors: Bin Zhang, Du Ran, Reuven Ianconescu, Aharon Friedman, Jacob Scheuer | Summary: We present a comprehensive theory for interrogation of the quantum state of a two-level system (TLS) based on a free-electron bound-electron resonant interaction scheme. The scheme comprises free electrons, whose quantum electron wavefunction is pre-shaped […]

Origin of high thermal conductivity in disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene films: ballistic phonons within enlarged crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Taeyong Kim, Stavros X. Drakopoulos, Sara Ronca, Austin J. Minnich, | Summary: The thermal transport properties of oriented polymers are of fundamental and practical interest. High thermal conductivities ($gtrsim 50$ Wm$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$) have recently been reported in disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) films, considerably exceeding prior […]

How to See Hidden Patterns in Metamaterials with Interpretable Machine Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Zhi Chen, Alexander Ogren, Chiara Daraio, L. Catherine Brinson, Cynthia Rudin | Summary: Metamaterials are composite materials with engineered geometrical micro- and meso-structures that can lead to uncommon physical properties, like negative Poisson’s ratio or ultra-low shear resistance. Periodic metamaterials are composed of repeating unit-cells, and geometrical […]

Learning to Disentangle Scenes for Person Re-identification

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xianghao Zang, Ge Li, Wei Gao, Xiujun Shu, | Summary: There are many challenging problems in the person re-identification (ReID) task, such as the occlusion and scale variation. Existing works usually tried to solve them by employing a one-branch network. This one-branch network needs to be robust […]

Exploiting Robust Unsupervised Video Person Re-identification

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xianghao Zang, Ge Li, Wei Gao, Xiujun Shu, | Summary: Unsupervised video person re-identification (reID) methods usually depend on global-level features. And many supervised reID methods employed local-level features and achieved significant performance improvements. However, applying local-level features to unsupervised methods may introduce an unstable performance. To […]
