Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Adam Celarek, Pedro Hermosilla, Bernhard Kerbl, Timo Ropinski, Michael Wimmer | Summary: This paper proposes a novel method for deep learning based on the analytical convolution of multidimensional Gaussian mixtures. In contrast to tensors, these do not suffer from the curse of dimensionality and allow for a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Yi Chen, Wen-Yu He, Wei Ruan, Jinwoong Hwang, Shujie Tang | Summary: Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are highly entangled, disordered magnetic states that arise in frustrated Mott insulators and host exotic fractional excitations such as spinons and chargons. Despite being charge insulators some QSLs are predicted to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Chun-Xiao Liu, Michael Wimmer, , , | Summary: We study the electronic properties of a planar semiconductor-superconductor heterostructure, in which a thin ferromagnetic insulator layer lies in between and acts as a spin filtering barrier. We find that in such a system one can simultaneously enhance the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Jingkun Guo, Simon Gröblacher, , , | Summary: The rapid development of high-Q macroscopic mechanical resonators has enabled great advances in optomechanics. Further improvements could allow for quantum-limited or quantum-enhanced applications at ambient temperature. Some of the remaining challenges include the integration of high-Q structures on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chunyang Fu, Ge Li, Rui Song, Wei Gao, Shan Liu | Summary: In point cloud compression, sufficient contexts are significant for modeling the point cloud distribution. However, the contexts gathered by the previous voxel-based methods decrease when handling sparse point clouds. To address this problem, we propose […]
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 […]
