Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Lihong V. Wang, , , , | Summary: The transition from classical physics to quantum mechanics has been mysterious. Here, we derive the space-independent von Neumann equation for electron spin mathematically from the classical Bloch or Majorana–Bloch equation, which is also derived. Subsequently, the space-independent Schr"odinger–Pauli […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xiaolong Mao, Hui Yuan, Xin Lu, Raouf Hamzaoui, Wei Gao | Summary: Learning-based methods have proven successful in compressing geometric information for point clouds. For attribute compression, however, they still lag behind non-learning-based methods such as the MPEG G-PCC standard. To bridge this gap, we propose a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Bo Ai, Joel Loo, Vinay, David Hsu | Summary: This work explores the challenges of creating a scalable and robust robot navigation system that can traverse both indoor and outdoor environments to reach distant goals. We propose a navigation system architecture called IntentionNet that employs […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Shuqing Luo, Bowen Qu, Wei Gao, , | Summary: In this paper, we explore a critical yet under-investigated issue: how to learn robust and well-generalized 3D representation from pre-trained vision language models such as CLIP. Previous works have demonstrated that cross-modal distillation can provide rich and useful […]

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Sameer Sonar, Utku Hatipoglu, Srujan Meesala, David Lake, Hengjiang Ren | Summary: Optomechanical crystals (OMCs) enable coherent interactions between optical photons and microwave acoustic phonons, and represent a platform for implementing quantum transduction between microwave and optical signals. Optical absorption-induced thermal noise at cryogenic (millikelvin) temperatures is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Yang Zhang, Joshua Olick-Gibson, Karteekeya Sastry, Lihong V. Wang, | Summary: Optical imaging of blood flow yields critical functional insights into the circulatory system, but its clinical implementation has typically been limited to shallow depths (~1 millimeter) due to light scattering in biological tissue. Here, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Shreyansh Pitroda, Aditya Bondada, Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Adarsh Salagame, Chenghao Wang | Summary: Despite major advancements in control design that are robust to unplanned disturbances, bipedal robots are still susceptible to falling over and struggle to negotiate rough terrains. By utilizing thrusters in our bipedal robot, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Matthew A. Petroff, Zeeshan Ahmed, James J. Bock, Marion Dierickx, Sofia Fatigoni | Summary: The search for the polarized imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as direct evidence of cosmic inflation requires exquisite sensitivity and control over systematics. The next-generation CMB-S4 […]
