Quantum Boltzmann Machines using Parallel Annealing for Medical Image Classification
Exploiting the fact that samples drawn from a quantum annealer inherently follow a Boltzmann-like distribution, annealing-based Quantum Boltzmann Machines (QBMs) have gained increasing popularity in the quantum research community. While they harbor great promises for quantum speed-up, their usage currently stays a costly endeavor, as large amounts of QPU time are required to train them. This limits their applicability in the NISQ era. Following the idea of Noè et al. (2024), who tried to allev…

Combating Homelessness Stigma with LLMs: A New Multi-Modal Dataset for Bias Detection
Homelessness is a persistent social challenge, impacting millions worldwide. Over 770,000 people experienced homelessness in the U.S. in 2024.

Given that online and city council discourse reflect and influence part of public opinion, it provides valuable insights to identify and track social biases.

We provide for a wide class of zero-free regions an upper bound for the error term in the Prime Number Theorem, refining works of Pintz (1980), Johnston (2024), and Révész (2024). Our method does not only apply to the Riemann zeta function, but to general Beurling zeta functions. Next we construct Beurling zeta functions having infinitely many zeros on a prescribed contour, and none to the right, for a wide class of such contours. We also deduce an oscillation result for the corresponding err…

Strong spectral stabilities for $C_{2k+1}$-free graphs
A stability result due to Ren, Wang, Wang and Yang [SIAM J.

Using a different method, we give a linear bound on $n$ in terms of $k$ and show a stronger structural result, which roughly says that $G$ can be obtained from a large bipartite …

Tricyclic graphs for which the second largest distance eigenvalue less than $-\frac{1}{2}$
Let $G$ be a simple connected graph with vertex set $V(G)=\{v_{1}, v_{2}, \ldots, v_{n}\}$. The distance $d_G(v_i,v_j)$ between two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ of $G$ is the length of a shortest path between $v_i$ and $v_j$. The distance matrix of $G$ is defined as $D(G)=(d_G(v_i,v_j))_{n\times n}$. The second largest distance eigenvalue of \( G \) is the second largest eigenvalues of $D(G)$. Guo and Zhou [Discrete Math. 347(2024), 114082] proved that any connected graph with the second largest di…
