Characterizing the Dynamics of Conspiracy Related German Telegram Conversations during COVID-19
Conspiracy theories have long drawn public attention, but their explosive growth on platforms like Telegram during the COVID-19 pandemic raises pressing questions about their impact on societal trust, democracy, and public health. We provide a geographical, temporal and network analysis of the structure of of conspiracy-related German-language Telegram chats in a novel large-scale data set. We examine how information flows between regional user groups and influential broadcasting channels, reve…

Operando Electron Microscopy of Nanoscale Electronic Devices on Non-Conductive Substrates
Achieving operating conditions comparable to ``bulk'' electronic devices, such as thin film capacitors, during \textit{operando} electron microscopy remains challenging, particularly when devices are grown on non-conductive substrates. Limited precision of focused ion beam milling for sample preparation often necessitates the use of conductive substrates or artificially thick layers that differ from actual device architectures. These modifications can alter native strain, electrostatic boundary…

Efficient Image-to-Image Schrödinger Bridge for CT Field of View Extension
Computed tomography (CT) is a cornerstone imaging modality for non-invasive, high-resolution visualization of internal anatomical structures. However, when the scanned object exceeds the scanner's field of view (FOV), projection data are truncated, resulting in incomplete reconstructions and pronounced artifacts near FOV boundaries. Conventional reconstruction algorithms struggle to recover accurate anatomy from such data, limiting clinical reliability. Deep learning approaches have been explor…

Martingale Optimal Transport and Martingale Schrödinger Bridges for Calibration of Stochastic Volatility Models
Motivated by recent developments in the calibration of stochastic volatility models (SVMs for short), we study continuous-time formulations of martingale optimal transport and martingale Schrödinger bridge problems. We establish duality formulas and also provide alternative proofs, via different techniques, of duality results previously established in the mathematical finance literature. Applications include calibration of SVMs to SPX options, as well as joint calibration to both SPX and VIX o…

E-ROBOT: a dimension-free method for robust statistics and machine learning via Schrödinger bridge
We propose the Entropic-regularized Robust Optimal Transport (E-ROBOT) framework, a novel method that combines the robustness of ROBOT with the computational and statistical benefits of entropic regularization. We show that, rooted in the Schrödinger bridge problem theory, E-ROBOT defines the robust Sinkhorn divergence $\overline{W}_{\varepsilon,λ}$, where the parameter $λ$ controls robustness and $\varepsilon$ governs the regularization strength. Letting $n\in \mathbb{N}$ denote the sample …

Control-affine Schrödinger Bridge and Generalized Bohm Potential
The control-affine Schrödinger bridge concerns with a stochastic optimal control problem. Its solution is a controlled evolution of joint state probability density subject to a control-affine Itô diffusion with a given deadline connecting a given pair of initial and terminal densities. In this work, we recast the necessary conditions of optimality for the control-affine Schrödinger bridge problem as a two point boundary value problem for a quantum mechanical Schrödinger PDE with complex pot…
