Signatures of Majorana protection in a three-site Kitaev chain

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Alberto Bordin, Chun-Xiao Liu, Tom Dvir, Francesco Zatelli, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf | Summary: Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are non-Abelian excitations predicted to emerge at the edges of topological superconductors. One proposal for realizing a topological superconductor in one dimension involves a chain of spinless fermions, […]

Model X-ray:Detecting Backdoored Models via Decision Boundary

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Yanghao Su, Jie Zhang, Ting Xu, Tianwei Zhang, Weiming Zhang | Summary: Backdoor attacks pose a significant security vulnerability for deep neural networks (DNNs), enabling them to operate normally on clean inputs but manipulate predictions when specific trigger patterns occur. Currently, post-training backdoor detection approaches often operate […]

Mechanics and wrinkling patterns of pressurized bent tubes

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Cesar L. Pastrana, Luyi Qiu, John W. Hutchinson, Ariel Amir, Ulrich Gerland | Summary: Take a drinking straw and bend it from its ends. After sufficient bending, the tube buckles forming a kink, where the curvature is localized in a very small area. This instability, known generally […]
