FragBench: Cross-Session Attacks Hidden in Benign-Looking Fragments

An attacker can split a malicious goal into sub-prompts that each look benign on their own and only become harmful in combination. Existing LLM safety benchmarks evaluate prompts one at a time, or across turns of a single chat, and so do not look for a malicious signal spread across separate sessions with no shared context. We build FragBench, a benchmark drawn from 24 real-world cyber-incident campaigns, which keeps the full attack trail: the multi-fragment kill chain, the per-fragment safety-judge verdicts, sandboxed execution traces, and a matched set of benign cover sessions. FragBench splits this trail into two paired tasks: an adversarial rewriter that hardens fragments against a single-turn safety judge (FragBench Attack), and a graph-based user-level detector trained on the resulting interactions (FragBench Defense). The single-turn judge is near chance on the released corpus by construction, but four GNN variants and three classical-ML baselines all recover the cross-session feature, reaching aggregate event-level F1 = 0.88-0.96. Defending against fragmented LLM misuse therefore requires modeling the cross-session interaction graph, rather than isolated prompts. Our generator, rewriter, sandbox harness, and detector are released at https://github.com/LidaSafety/fragbench.

Ring-shaped atom-trap lattices using multipole dressing fields

We present a method for the creation of closed-loop lattices for ultra-cold atoms using dressed potentials. We analytically describe the generation of trap lattices that are state-dependent, with dynamically controlled lattice depths and positioning. In a design akin to a synchronous motor, the potentials arise from the combination of a static, ring-shaped quadrupole field and multipole radio-frequency fields. Our technique relies solely on static and radio-frequency (rf) magnetic fields, enabling the creation of robust atom traps with simple control via rf amplitudes and phases. Potential applications of our scheme span the range from quantum many-body simulations to guided Sagnac interferometers.
