Abstract

Rydberg atomic quantum receivers (RAQRs) offer high sensitivity and wide tunability, but their magnitude-based readout yields a nonlinear model incompatible with conventional complex-valued multi-input multi-output (MIMO) processing. We propose a low-complexity space-time coding framework for point-to-point RAQR-assisted MIMO links. Data symbols are encoded using real orthogonal designs, while strong-reference heterodyne reception yields an equivalent real-valued linear model. The preserved orthogonality enables matched filter symbol-wise detection without matrix inversion or vector search. An analytical bit error probability expression is derived, proving the proposed scheme achieves the full transmit-receive diversity. Simulations validate the analysis and demonstrate improved performance over spatial multiplexing benchmarks.

The microscope is the mask: privileged views and labels from a cryo-ET forward model

We explore the use of simulated data for training a model for protein annotation in crowded cryo-electron tomography volumes reconstructed from images collected at limited tilt angles and severely corrupted by the measurement operator. Firstly, we leverage the corruptions imposed by the forward model to generate domain-specific augmented paired views of the exact same scene for an invariance objective integrated into the LeJEPA self-supervised training framework. Secondly, we use additional information from the simulation pipeline such as the positions and identity of proteins in the simulated volumes to inform the architecture of the model and the loss function, so that semantic information is localised at protein positions in the resulting dense feature volume. The resulting model, CARNIVAL, is evaluated without finetuning on classification and detection tasks in real tomograms, using a benchmark dataset containing multiple protein types and two tomogram processing types. We show that CARNIVAL outperforms a state-of-the-art model trained using a contrastive objective on simulated data but without forward model-based paired views or privileged information.

A brief history of quantum vs classical computational advantage

In this review article we summarize all experiments claiming quantum computational advantage to date. Our review highlights challenges, loopholes, and refutations appearing in subsequent work to provide a complete picture of the current statuses of these experiments. In addition, we also discuss theoretical computational advantage in example problems such as approximate optimization and recommendation systems. Finally, we review recent experiments in quantum error correction -- the biggest frontier to reach experimental quantum advantage in Shor's algorithm.

Hardware-conscious Software Training for Deep Neural Network Inference Accelerator Chips to Recover Accuracy Degradation due to Hardware Variabilities

Deep neural network (DNN) has been widely applied in various industries. Specialized chips are being discussed for the purpose of achieving lower power consumption with higher throughput. Hardware variations introduced during the process of chip manufacturing are the main reason for affecting the inference accuracies. In this paper, we propose hardware-conscious software training (HCST) method which enables high inference accuracies even under the influence of hardware variations.
