Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xianghao Zang, Ge Li, Wei Gao, , | Summary: In video surveillance, pedestrian retrieval (also called person re-identification) is a critical task. This task aims to retrieve the pedestrian of interest from non-overlapping cameras. Recently, transformer-based models have achieved significant progress for this task. However, these models […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Paul B. Dieterle, Jenny Zheng, Ethan Garner, Ariel Amir, | Summary: Dynamic instability — the growth, catastrophe, and shrinkage of quasi-one-dimensional filaments — has been observed in multiple biopolymers. Scientists have long understood the catastrophic cessation of growth and subsequent depolymerization as arising from the interplay of […]
Kavli Affiliate: George M. Whitesides | First 5 Authors: Jovanna A. Tracz, Lukas Wille, Dylan Pathiraja, Savita V. Kendre, Ron Pfisterer | Summary: The control of pneumatically driven soft robots typically requires electronics. Microcontrollers are connected to power electronics that switch valves and pumps on and off. As a recent alternative, fluidic control methods have […]
Kavli Affiliate: George M. Whitesides | First 5 Authors: Lauryn Whiteside, Savita V. Kendre, Tian Y. Fan, Jovanna A. Tracz, Gus T. Teran | Summary: Developing soft circuits from individual soft logic gates poses a unique challenge: with increasing numbers of logic gates, the design and implementation of circuits leads to inefficiencies due to mathematically […]

Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Eashan Adhikarla, Dan Luo, Brian D. Davison, , | Summary: Many deep neural networks are susceptible to minute perturbations of images that have been carefully crafted to cause misclassification. Ideally, a robust classifier would be immune to small variations in input images, and a number of defensive […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yang Xu, Kaifei Kang, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Kin Fai Mak | Summary: Moir’e materials with flat electronic bands provide a highly controllable quantum system for studies of strong-correlation physics and topology. In particular, angle-aligned heterobilayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with large band offset realize […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lieven Vandersypen | First 5 Authors: Andreas J. Heinrich, William D. Oliver, Lieven Vandersypen, Arzhang Ardavan, Roberta Sessoli | Summary: For the past three decades, nanoscience has widely affected many areas in physics, chemistry, and engineering, and has led to numerous fundamental discoveries as well as applications and products. Concurrently, quantum science and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Akito Noiri, Kenta Takeda, Takashi Nakajima, Takashi Kobayashi, Amir Sammak | Summary: Control of entanglement between qubits at distant quantum processors using a two-qubit gate is an essential function of a scalable, modular implementation of quantum computation. Among the many qubit platforms, spin qubits in silicon quantum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Alkim Bozkurt, Chaitali Joshi, Mohammad Mirhosseini, , | Summary: Optomechanical crystals provide coupling between phonons and photons by confining them to commensurate wavelength-scale dimensions. We present a new concept for designing optomechanical crystals capable of achieving unprecedented coupling rates by confining optical and mechanical waves to deep […]
