Abstract

Near-term quantum and quantum-inspired solvers for portfolio optimization rely on local subproblem execution under severe size constraints, but this locality can omit cross-cluster covariance essential for global risk coordination. We propose Context-Aware Folding (CAF), a lightweight hybrid quantum-classical coordination layer between one-shot static decomposition and full-matrix optimization. CAF injects a compressed global risk state into each local subproblem via a state-dependent linear bias, decouples local candidate generation from global commitment, and retains a sequential acceptance rule with a monotonic non-divergence guarantee. On a 2016 Russell 3000 subset (N=484) with Simulated Annealing (SA), CAF improves the scalarized mean-variance objective by 6.59\% over a static baseline (20/20 wins), and by 0.2579\% on an additional 2018 panel (N=1397, 17/20 wins). We further report matched folded N=40 compatibility studies with the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and simulated quantum annealing (SQA) as local solvers, together with a frozen hardware-in-the-loop run on Origin Quantum's Wukong 180 (\texttt{WK\_C180}) for one warm-started QAOA subproblem at n=5. These results support CAF as a coordination architecture with strong classical large-scale evidence, cross-backend compatibility, and local executability on real quantum hardware in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era.

ASTRA: Toward Agentic AI for Intelligent Device-Network-Cloud Synergy in Next-Generation Mobile Communication

The evolution toward next-generation mobile communication systems demands intelligence-native networks capable of autonomously adapting to user intent, yet the prevailing 3GPP protocol-driven device-network-cloud (DNC) architecture imposes three structural bottlenecks: protocol-constrained decision spaces confining optimization to predefined parameter subsets, cascaded information asymmetry from lossy interface compression that strips semantic context and causes intent miscalibration, and inherently reactive coordination mechanisms that trigger actions only after performance degradation. This paper proposes an autonomous agentic AI paradigm named Agentic Synergy for Telecommunication Resource Autonomy (ASTRA), which introduces a three-tier agent layer, including device agent, network agent, and cloud agent, decoupling network intelligence from the underlying hardware infrastructure. These agents collaborate through bidirectional semantic channels, including semantic intent messages, capability abstraction messages, global directives, and peer coordination, executing a six-phase cycle of perceive, reason and predict, communicate, decide, act, and learn that transforms reactive protocol-driven operations into proactive, intent-calibrated optimization over the full decision space. Validated through system-level simulations in two representative scenarios, ASTRA achieves a 13.1\% average throughput gain in dense-crowd cell selection by redistributing UEs from congested cells via semantic load exchange, and an 18.2\% passive handover reduction in high-speed mobility through predictive trajectory-aware coordination, providing initial evidence that the proposed agentic framework accesses solution regions structurally inaccessible under protocol-constrained architectures.

A Closed-Form Molecule-Release Rule for Diffusion-Based Molecular Communications with Ligand Receptors

The number of molecules released per bit is a fundamental design variable of diffusion-based molecular communication (MC), and ligand-receptor reception breaks the more-is-better intuition. Too few molecules leave the bound-receptor observations buried in binding noise, while too many amplify the accumulated intersymbol interference and saturate the finite receptor population, again making the observations indistinguishable. Reliability therefore peaks in an interior operating region whose location seems to require an exhaustive search over the channel dynamics. In this paper, we show that this search can be obviated for a biologically plausible receiver that compares consecutive bound-receptor counts without channel state information or a decision threshold. We derive a closed-form transmission rule, which sets the number of molecules released per bit such that the receptor dissociation constant equals the geometric mean of the two bit-conditioned received concentration levels, prove that it exactly minimizes the bit error probability of a memoryless binomial receptor model, and express it in the physical channel parameters through an Euler--Maclaurin evaluation of the interference. Time-domain Monte Carlo sweeps of the channel and receptor parameters, corroborated by particle-based simulations, show that the empirically optimal release count coincides with the prediction or lies above it by a small factor.

Composability rather than computation sets the cost of an analog EML hardware fabric

The operator eml(x, y) = exp(x) - ln(y) with the constant 1 generates the elementary functions, a continuous counterpart to NAND. Whether it yields a useful fabric had not been asked of hardware. We ask in network models, circuit simulation and SkyWater 130 nm layout. Four bipolar junctions evaluate the operator for 13 fJ, beating a width-matched digital datapath by 4-134x. The fabric assembled from them is not cheap: it loses to resource-matched baselines, and over the reals its grammar excludes trigonometry. Amplifiers holding those junctions' operating points take 74.5% of a cell's current, so a cell costs 3000 times what they spend. Extracted non-idealities cost 2.6x when a cell must hold a value and nothing when it need only be repeatable. Sharing them across cells recovers two of the three orders. The premise was that a universal primitive licenses a uniform machine. It survives in the primitive and fails in the machine.
