Strategies for tuning structural and (opto-)electronic properties are fundamental to the rational design of functional materials. Here, we present a molecular design approach for precisely modulating the optoelectronic properties of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) through single-atom halogen substitution on $π$-extended anthracene...
The quantum first-detection problem concerns the statistics of the time at which a system, subject to repeated measurements, is observed in a prescribed target state for the first time. Unlike its classical counterpart, the measurement back action intrinsic to quantum mechanics may profoundly alter the system dynamics. Here we show...
This paper presents the study of a DNA replication model grounded in the biochemical kinetics of DNA polymerases, which copy each DNA strand into a complementary strand, except for rare point-like mutations caused by nucleotide substitution errors. Numerical simulations of many successive replications, starting from an arbitrary...
Solutions to elliptic equations often exhibit higher regularity properties such as \emph{higher integrability}. That is, for instance, a solution $u$ to a system that a priori only satisfies $ u \in W^{1,r}$ is more regular and even in the Sobolev space $W^{1,s}$ for some $s>r$. Under additional constraints of the sign of specific...
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for automated text annotation, raising hopes that they might accelerate cross-cultural research by extracting structured data from ethnographic texts. We evaluated 7 state-of-the-art LLMs on their ability to annotate 121 ritual features across 567 ethnographic excerpts. Performance was...
The exploration of quantum phenomena in mesoscale materials, such as moire superlattices, is limited by the cubic scaling cost of conventional electronic structure methods. Here, we introduce a scalable tight binding framework that achieves near linear scaling, enabling mesoscopic quantum simulations. By transforming the complex...
The quantum Fisher information matrix (QFIM) is the cornerstone of multiparameter quantum metrology. In this work, we investigate multiparameter quantum estimation in baryon-antibaryon (B bar-B) pairs produced via the e+ e- -> J/psi -> B bar-B process at the BESIII experiment, utilizing the symmetric logarithmic derivative (SLD)...
For any modulus of continuity $ω$ that fails the Osgood condition, we construct a divergence-free velocity field $v \in C_t C^ω_x$ for which the associated ODE admits at least two distinct flow maps. In other words, non-uniqueness does not occur merely for a single or even finitely many trajectories, but instead on a set of initial...
Neural network models often face challenges when processing very small or very large numbers due to issues such as overflow, underflow, and unstable output variations. To mitigate these problems, we propose using embedding vectors for numbers instead of directly using their raw values. These embeddings aim to retain essential...
Supernovae are observed to occur approximately 1-2 times per century in a galaxy like the Milky Way. Based on historical records, however, the last core-collapse galactic supernova observed by humans occurred almost 1,000 years ago. Luckily, we are well positioned to catch the next one with the advent of new neutrino detectors and...
Accurately and efficiently solving nonlinear differential equations is crucial for modeling dynamic behavior across science and engineering. Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a powerful solution that embeds physical laws in training by enforcing equation residuals. However, these struggle to model nonlinear...
A unique postulate is shown to underly the whole quantum mechanics theory: the invariance of the Heisenberg uncertainty inequality under a group of special nonlinear gauge transformations (NLGT). With this postulate, the quantum mechanics of a free particle is derived from classical mechanics, including the statements of the...
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit systematic Western-centric bias, yet whether prompting in non-Western languages (e.g., Chinese) can mitigate this remains understudied. Answering this question requires rigorous evaluation and effective mitigation, but existing approaches fall short on both fronts: evaluation methods force outputs...
The task of 6DoF object pose estimation is one of the fundamental problems of 3D vision with many practical applications such as industrial automation. Traditional deep learning approaches for this task often require extensive training data or CAD models, limiting their application in real-world industrial settings where data is...
Accurately controlling a robotic system in real time is a challenging problem. To address this, the robotics community has adopted various algorithms, such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control. The first is difficult to implement on non-linear systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles,...
We derive the affine tensor associated with the energy and momentum densities of both gravitational and matter fields, the complex pseudo-tensor, for $f(Q)$ non-metric gravity, the straightforward extension of Symmetric Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (STEGR), characterized by a flat, torsion-free, non-metric connection....
In this brief, a novel harmonic-backscatter-rectifier (HBR) is introduced for simultaneous rectification and harmonic-based uplink. The proposed (HBR) employs a rectifier to generate both DC power and the harmonic carriers for backscattering communication, and a dual-band reconfigurable band-stop filter using defected ground...
The action of tensionless spinning string invariant under reparametrizions, both local supersymmetry and dilatations, is considered. The density of energy-momentum tensor is constructed and vanishing of its covariant divergence is proved. This result arises from mutual cancellation of the bosonic and fermionic contributions....
Quantum nonlocality manifests in multipartite systems through entanglement, Bell's nonlocality, and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering. While Peres's positive-partial-transpose criterion provides a simple and powerful test for entanglement, a comparably elegant spectral criterion for detecting EPR steering remains an open...
Large language models (LLMs) have enabled conversational robots to move beyond constrained dialogue toward free-form interaction. However, without context-specific adaptation, generic LLM outputs can be ineffective or inappropriate. This adaptation is often attempted through prompt engineering, which is non-intuitive and tedious....
Spatio-Temporal (ST) Foundation Models (STFMs) promise cross-dataset generalization, yet joint ST pretraining is computationally expensive and grapples with the heterogeneity of domain-specific spatial patterns. Substantially extending our preliminary conference version, we present FactoST-v2, an enhanced factorized framework...
Assisting pathologists in the analysis of histopathological images has high clinical value, as it supports cancer detection and staging. In this context, histology foundation models have recently emerged. Among them, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) provide strong yet imperfect zero-shot predictions. We propose to refine these...
This paper introduces a unified framework for battery energy arbitrage under uncertain market prices that integrates chance-constrained terminal state-of-charge requirements with online threshold policies. We first cast the multi-interval arbitrage problem as a stochastic dynamic program enhanced by a probabilistic end-of-horizon...
High-precision scene parsing tasks, including image matting and dichotomous segmentation, aim to accurately predict masks with extremely fine details (such as hair). Most existing methods focus on salient, single foreground objects. While interactive methods allow for target adjustment, their class-agnostic design restricts...
We propose EmoLat, a novel emotion latent space that enables fine-grained, text-driven image sentiment transfer by modeling cross-modal correlations between textual semantics and visual emotion features. Within EmoLat, an emotion semantic graph is constructed to capture the relational structure among emotions, objects, and visual...
