Those who truly know me would agree that I am very unusual/strange/weird/etc. It's next to impossible to offend me, but calling me normal comes pretty close. There are a lot of reasons why I'm weird/unusual. One is that I don't like to receive gifts for Christmas, birthdays, Valentine's Day, etc. They feel so obligated. If you want to give me a gift, it should be for a weird reason, as a weird guy I love weird reasons, like because it's Tuesday the 13th, or because it's humpday.

Quantum Dynamics and Information Measures in PT and Anti-PT-Symmetric Systems
In this study, we investigate qubit dynamics under PT and Anti-PT-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, focusing on phase evolution, decoherence, quantum speed limits (QSL), and Rényi entanglement entropies. Using similarity transformations and Dyson maps, we analyze the reduced density matrix evolution in bosonic environments. Anti-PT-symmetric systems show enhanced robustness against decoherence, with slower entropy growth and longer coherence times compared to PT-symmetric counterparts. QSL…

Multiscale light-matter dynamics in quantum materials: from electrons to topological superlattices
Light-matter dynamics in topological quantum materials enables ultralow-power, ultrafast devices. A challenge is simulating multiple field and particle equations for light, electrons, and atoms over vast spatiotemporal scales on Exaflop/s computers with increased heterogeneity and low-precision focus. We present a paradigm shift that solves the multiscale/multiphysics/heterogeneity challenge harnessing hardware heterogeneity and low-precision arithmetic. Divide-conquer-recombine algorithms divi…

"I do not compromise with anybody or anything else in the world. I do not care, I don’t care if anybody appreciates it or not; I don’t care. .... I want to really go beyond this materialistic world towards Space — there, no compromise. .... A musician must lift up the souls of the listeners, and take them towards Space.” - N.B.

Human Body Segment Volume Estimation with Two RGB-D Cameras
In the field of human biometry, accurately estimating the volume of the whole body and its individual segments is of fundamental importance. Such measurements support a wide range of applications that include assessing health, optimizing ergonomic design, and customizing biomechanical models. In this work, we presented a Body Segment Volume Estimation (BSV) system to automatically compute whole-body and segment volumes using only two RGB-D cameras, thus limiting the system complexity. However, …

GP3: A 3D Geometry-Aware Policy with Multi-View Images for Robotic Manipulation
Effective robotic manipulation relies on a precise understanding of 3D scene geometry, and one of the most straightforward ways to acquire such geometry is through multi-view observations. Motivated by this, we present GP3 -- a 3D geometry-aware robotic manipulation policy that leverages multi-view input. GP3 employs a spatial encoder to infer dense spatial features from RGB observations, which enable the estimation of depth and camera parameters, leading to a compact yet expressive 3D scene re…

Dinge, von denen ich nicht geahnt hätte, dass ich sie mal mache. Resp. noch nicht einmal wusste, dass das nötig ist.
In den Ferien haben wir in Charmouth gemacht, was man in Charmouth halt so macht. Fossilien am Strand gesucht.
Dass einige davon sich früher oder später selbst zerstören wurden, wo sie doch schon bald 200 Mio. Jahre auf dem Buckel haben, wer hätte das gedacht.
Nun denn, tun sie aber. Ausser: Man macht was dagegen. https://palass.org/sites/default/files/media/publications/palaeontology/volume_27/vol27_part2_pp421-424.pdf

From SALAMANDRA to SALAMANDRATA: BSC Submission for WMT25 General Machine Translation Shared Task
In this paper, we present the SALAMANDRATA family of models, an improved iteration of SALAMANDRA LLMs (Gonzalez-Agirre et al., 2025) specifically trained to achieve strong performance in translation-related tasks for 38 European languages. SALAMANDRATA comes in two scales: 2B and 7B parameters. For both versions, we applied the same training recipe with a first step of continual pre-training on parallel data, and a second step of supervised fine-tuning on high-quality instructions. The BSC subm…
