Entangled Photon Pair Generator via Biexciton-Exciton Cascade in Semiconductor Quantum Dots and its Simulation
The generation of entangled photon pairs is highly useful for many types of quantum technologies. In this work an entangled photon pair generator that utilises the biexciton-exciton cascade in semiconductor quantum dots is described on a physical, mathematical, and software level. The system is implemented and simulated as a self-contained component in a framework for bigger quantum optical experiments. Thus, it is a description to further the holistic understanding of the system for interdisci…

TDADL-IE: A Deep Learning-Driven Cryptographic Architecture for Medical Image Security
The rise of digital medical imaging, like MRI and CT, demands strong encryption to protect patient data in telemedicine and cloud storage. Chaotic systems are popular for image encryption due to their sensitivity and unique characteristics, but existing methods often lack sufficient security. This paper presents the Three-dimensional Diffusion Algorithm and Deep Learning Image Encryption system (TDADL-IE), built on three key elements. First, we propose an enhanced chaotic generator using an LST…

Well-posedness of McKean-Vlasov generalized multivalued BSDEs
This paper investigates McKean-Vlasov backward stochastic variational inequalities (BSVIs) whose generator depends on the joint law of the solution. We first establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution under globally Lipschitz and linear growth conditions. The analysis is then extended to the more general case of locally Lipschitz and non-linear growth conditions.

Non-closed scalar charge in 4-dimensional Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet black hole thermodynamics
We develop a covariant differential-form framework to define scalar charges for stationary, asymptotically flat black holes in $4$--dimensional Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a general scalar coupling function. Contracting the scalar field equation of motion with the horizon generator $k$ yields a non-closed-form scalar charge, revealing a bulk contribution encoded in a $3$--form, which measures the obstruction to its closedness. In the presence of shift-symmetry, this obstruction va…

VideoVerse: How Far is Your T2V Generator from a World Model?
The recent rapid advancement of Text-to-Video (T2V) generation technologies, which are critical to build ``world models'', makes the existing benchmarks increasingly insufficient to evaluate state-of-the-art T2V models. First, current evaluation dimensions, such as per-frame aesthetic quality and temporal consistency, are no longer able to differentiate state-of-the-art T2V models. Second, event-level temporal causality, which not only distinguishes video from other modalities but also constitu…

Here, we analyse this transport behavior by the so-called inflated generator framework, which identifies quasi-stationary families of almost-invariant sets, derived from leading inflated generator eigenvectors.

The reweighting is based on a Boosted Decision Tree algorithm trained on high-dimensional space in detector final state observables. This enables one generator's events to be reweighted so that its reconstructed particle content and kinematics distributions, as well as detector efficiency, match those of a target model.

Locally Lipschitz Path Dependent FBSDEs with Unbounded Terminal Conditions in Brownian and L{é}vy Settings
This paper is dedicated to the analysis of forward backward stochastic differential equations driven by a L{é}vy process. We assume that the generator and the terminal condition are path-dependent and satisfy a local Lipschitz condition. We study solvability and Malliavin differentiability of such BSDEs. The proof of the existence and uniqueness is done in three steps. First of all, we truncate and localize the terminal condition and the generator. Then we use an iteration argument to get boun…

LEAML: Label-Efficient Adaptation to Out-of-Distribution Visual Tasks for Multimodal Large Language Models
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved strong performance on general visual benchmarks but struggle with out-of-distribution (OOD) tasks in specialized domains such as medical imaging, where labeled data is limited and expensive. We introduce LEAML, a label-efficient adaptation framework that leverages both scarce labeled VQA samples and abundant unlabeled images. Our approach generates domain-relevant pseudo question-answer pairs for unlabeled data using a QA generator regulari…

Adding All Flavors: A Hybrid Random Number Generator for dApps and Web3
Random numbers play a vital role in many decentralized applications (dApps), such as gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Existing random number provision mechanisms can be roughly divided into two categories, on-chain, and off-chain. On-chain approaches usually rely on the blockchain as the major input and all computations are done by blockchain nodes. The major risk for this type of method is that the input itself is susceptible to the adversary's influence. Off-chain…

A Generative Model for Controllable Feature Heterophily in Graphs
We introduce a principled generative framework for graph signals that enables explicit control of feature heterophily, a key property underlying the effectiveness of graph learning methods. Our model combines a Lipschitz graphon-based random graph generator with Gaussian node features filtered through a smooth spectral function of the rescaled Laplacian. We establish new theoretical guarantees: (i) a concentration result for the empirical heterophily score; and (ii) almost-sure convergence of t…

Quantitative Limit Theorems for Cox-Poisson and Cox-Binomial Point Processes
This paper establishes quantitative limit theorems for two classes of Cox point processes, quantifying their convergence to a Poisson point process (PPP). We employ Stein's method for PPP aproximation, leveraging the generator approach and the Stein-Dirichlet representation formula associated with the Glauber dynamics. First, we investigate a Cox-Poisson process constructed by placing one-dimensional PPPs on the lines of a Poisson line process in $\mathbb{R}^2. We derive an explicit bound on th…

EvoWorld: Evolving Panoramic World Generation with Explicit 3D Memory
Humans possess a remarkable ability to mentally explore and replay 3D environments they have previously experienced. Inspired by this mental process, we present EvoWorld: a world model that bridges panoramic video generation with evolving 3D memory to enable spatially consistent long-horizon exploration. Given a single panoramic image as input, EvoWorld first generates future video frames by leveraging a video generator with fine-grained view control, then evolves the scene's 3D reconstruction …

A Note on the instability of equilibria for distribution dependent SDEs
Due to the existence of multiple stationary distributions, we study the stability and instability of a stationary distribution for distribution dependent stochastic differential equations. This note is devoted to the instability of a stationary distribution, and links the instability to a spectral property of the generator of the corresponding linearized semigroup to the stochastic equation. Concrete examples, such as the granular media equation with double-wells landscapes, are given to illust…

Heavy flavor correlations and Quarkonia production in high energy pp collisions in the EPOS4 framework
In QCD, the production of heavy quark-antiquark pairs can proceed through different mechanisms, each imprinting characteristic correlations between the heavy quarks. In this work, we use the EPOS4 event generator to study how these correlations affect quarkonium production in pp collisions. Our results demonstrate that the observed correlations between heavy mesons directly reflect the underlying production mechanisms and simultaneously shape the transverse-momentum distributions of quarkonia.

Query-Kontext: An Unified Multimodal Model for Image Generation and Editing
Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in text-to-image generation (T2I) and editing (TI2I), whether instantiated as assembled unified frameworks which couple powerful vision-language model (VLM) with diffusion-based generator, or as naive Unified Multimodal Models with an early fusion of understanding and generation modalities. We contend that in current unified frameworks, the crucial capability of multimodal generative reasoning which encompasses instructio…

Real-time vacuum-state quantum random number generator on a chip
Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) produce true random numbers, which are guaranteed by the fundamental principles of quantum physics. Miniaturization of QRNGs is crucial for a wide range of communication and cryptography applications. Here, we first report a fully functional QRNG chip based on vacuum-state fluctuations, with dimensions of 16.6 mm x 7.8 mm. The quantum entropy source, which is achieved via hybrid photonic integration with a SiO2 waveguide, generates raw quantum random num…

Talking Head Generation via AU-Guided Landmark Prediction
We propose a two-stage framework for audio-driven talking head generation with fine-grained expression control via facial Action Units (AUs). Unlike prior methods relying on emotion labels or implicit AU conditioning, our model explicitly maps AUs to 2D facial landmarks, enabling physically grounded, per-frame expression control. In the first stage, a variational motion generator predicts temporally coherent landmark sequences from audio and AU intensities. In the second stage, a diffusion-base…
