Four-year testing finds heat pumps run efficiently even in older homes
Researchers at Fraunhofer ISE have tested various types of heat pumps in existing buildings across Germany over four years, finding that the systems achieved seasonal performance factors between 2.6 and 5.4. The team also showed that PV-driven heat pumps can boost self-consumption rates, particularly when paired with battery storage.

Non-Asymptotic Analysis of Efficiency in Conformalized Regression
Conformal prediction provides prediction sets with coverage guarantees. The informativeness of conformal prediction depends on its efficiency, typically quantified by the expected size of the prediction set. Prior work on the efficiency of conformalized regression commonly treats the miscoverage level $α$ as a fixed constant. In this work, we establish non-asymptotic bounds on the deviation of the prediction set length from the oracle interval length for conformalized quantile and median regre…

Modular interface for efficient optical readout of diamond quantum memory at cryogenic temperatures via single-mode optical fibers
Efficient quantum devices across various physical systems have been rapidly developed for entanglement-based quantum repeaters and spin-photon conversion; however, far less attention has been paid to standardizing platforms through quantum memory optical interfaces. We present a modular interface for color centers in diamond that is structurally isolated from device-and temperature-related variation. Despite a more than 100-fold reduction in confocal volume, we achieve highly efficient photon c…

Efficient Discriminative Joint Encoders for Large Scale Vision-Language Reranking
Multimodal retrieval still leans on embedding-based models like CLIP for fast vector search over pre-computed image embeddings. Yet, unlike text retrieval, where joint-encoder rerankers are standard, comparable vision--language rerankers are largely absent. We find that seminal joint encoders such as BLIP are severely bottlenecked by an expensive visual feature-extraction stage, preventing practical deployment at scale. Motivated by this bottleneck, we introduce EDJE, an Efficient Discriminativ…

Native Hybrid Attention for Efficient Sequence Modeling
Transformers excel at sequence modeling but face quadratic complexity, while linear attention offers improved efficiency but often compromises recall accuracy over long contexts. In this work, we introduce Native Hybrid Attention (NHA), a novel hybrid architecture of linear and full attention that integrates both intra \& inter-layer hybridization into a unified layer design. NHA maintains long-term context in key-value slots updated by a linear RNN, and augments them with short-term tokens fro…
