Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Large-scale terrain scans are the basis for many important tasks, such as topographic mapping, forestry, agriculture, and infrastructure planning. The resulting point cloud data sets are so massive in size that even basic tasks like viewing take hours to days of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zhongdong Han, Zhongdong Han, , , | Summary: Quantum spin Hall insulators (QSHIs) and excitonic insulators (EIs) are prototypical topological and correlated states of matter, respectively. The topological phase transition between the two has attracted much theoretical interest but experimental studies have been hindered by the availability […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Bingnan Li, Bingnan Li, , , | Summary: Despite steady progress in layout-to-image generation, current methods still struggle with layouts containing significant overlap between bounding boxes. We identify two primary challenges: (1) large overlapping regions and (2) overlapping instances with minimal semantic distinction. Through both qualitative examples […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xiaolei Li, Xiaolei Li, , , | Summary: This paper proposes an orthogonality-constrained modal search (OCMS) method for estimating modal wavenumbers and modal depth functions using a vertical linear array (VLA). Under the assumption of a known sound speed profile, OCMS leverages the orthogonality of distinct modal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Brandon J. Sandoval, Brandon J. Sandoval, , , | Summary: Phonon sensitive superconducting qubits promise to provide sub-eV energy deposit thresholds, useful for future rare-event experiments looking for interactions from dark matter and neutrinos. We detail here engineering results from a Quantum Parity Detector (QPDs), one […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Jiarui Liu, Jiarui Liu, , , | Summary: Synchronization is a hallmark of nonlinear dynamics. It drives self-organized behavior across systems ranging from astronomy to chemistry. Among the simplest systems, the van der Pol oscillator captures the essence of limit-cycle behavior and forms the basis for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Min Liu, Min Liu, , , | Summary: Existing text-to-speech systems predominantly focus on single-sentence synthesis and lack adequate contextual modeling as well as fine-grained performance control capabilities for generating coherent multicast audiobooks. To address these limitations, we propose a context-aware and emotion controllable speech synthesis framework […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrea D. Caviglia | First 5 Authors: Giacomo Sala, Giacomo Sala, , , | Summary: The surface states of 3D topological insulators possess geometric structures that imprint distinctive signatures on electronic transport. A prime example is the Berry curvature, which controls electric frequency doubling via a higher order moment, called Berry curvature triple. […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Saif Siddique, Saif Siddique, , , | Summary: Classical nucleation theory predicts size-dependent nucleation and melting due to surface and confinement effects at the nanoscale. In correlated electronic states, observation of size-dependent nucleation and melting is rarely reported, likely due to the extremely small length scales […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Bethany Davies, Bethany Davies, , , | Summary: In the performance analysis of quantum networks, it is common to approximate bipartite entangled states as either being Bell-diagonal or Werner states. We refer to these as twirled approximations because it is possible to bring any state to such […]
