AMOR: Adaptive Character Control through Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Lucas N. Alegre, Agon Serifi, Ruben Grandia, David Müller, Espen Knoop | Summary: Reinforcement learning (RL) has significantly advanced the control of physics-based and robotic characters that track kinematic reference motion. However, methods typically rely on a weighted sum of conflicting reward functions, requiring extensive tuning to […]

A theory for diffusion-controlled reactions within nonequilibrium steady states

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Seokjin Moon, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We study diffusion-controlled processes in nonequilibrium steady states, where standard rate theory assumptions break down. Using transition path theory, we generalize the relations between reactive probability fluxes and measures of the rate of the reaction. Stochastic thermodynamics […]

Dynamical Sweet and Sour Regions in Bichromatically Driven Floquet Qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: D. Dominic Briseño-Colunga, Bibek Bhandari, Debmalya Das, Long B. Nguyen, Yosep Kim | Summary: Modern superconducting and semiconducting quantum hardware use external charge and microwave flux drives to both tune and operate devices. However, each external drive is susceptible to low-frequency (e.g., $1/f$) noise that can drastically […]
