Calibrating the classical hardness of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Maxime Dupont, Nicolas Didier, Mark J. Hodson, Joel E. Moore, Matthew J. Reagor | Summary: Trading fidelity for scale enables approximate classical simulators such as matrix product states (MPS) to run quantum circuits beyond exact methods. A control parameter, the so-called bond dimension $chi$ for MPS, […]

Global Reduction in Ship-tracks from Sulfur Regulations for Shipping Fuel

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Wood | First 5 Authors: Tianle Yuan, Hua Song, Robert Wood, Chenxi Wang, Lazaros Oreopoulos | Summary: Ship-tracks are produced by ship-emitted aerosols interacting with marine low clouds. Here we apply deep learning models on satellite data to produce the first multi-year global climatology map of ship-tracks. We show that ship-tracks are […]

Synthetic Over-sampling for Imbalanced Node Classification with Graph Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Tianxiang Zhao, Xiang Zhang, Suhang Wang, , | Summary: In recent years, graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance for node classification. However, most existing GNNs would suffer from the graph imbalance problem. In many real-world scenarios, node classes are imbalanced, with some majority classes making […]

Dynamics of fractionalized mean-field theories: consequences for Kitaev materials

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Tessa Cookmeyer, Joel E. Moore, , , | Summary: There have been substantial recent efforts, both experimentally and theoretically, to find a material realization of the Kitaev spin-liquid–the ground state of the exactly solvable Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice. Candidate materials are now plentiful, but […]
