A new approximate Eastin-Knill theorem
Transversal encoded gatesets are highly desirable for fault tolerant quantum computing. However, a quantum error correcting code which exactly corrects for local erasure noise and supports a universal set of transversal gates is ruled out by the Eastin-Knill theorem. Here we provide a new approximate Eastin-Knill theorem for the single-shot regime when we allow for some probability of error in the decoding. In particular, we show that a quantum error correcting code can support a universal set …

Coral reef research dominated by rich countries, plagued with inequities: Study
Most of the world’s coral reefs, and the communities that directly depend on them, are in the tropics, so one might imagine the research on them being led by scientists and institutions based in tropical countries. The reality, however, is far different, a new study shows. Coral reef science is actually dominated by researchers from […]

Difference-in-Differences with a Continuous Treatment
This paper analyzes difference-in-differences designs with a continuous treatment. We show that treatment effect on the treated-type parameters can be identified under a generalized parallel trends assumption that is similar to the binary treatment setup. However, interpreting differences in these parameters across different values of the treatment can be particularly challenging due to selection bias that is not ruled out by the parallel trends assumption. We discuss alternative, typically str…

Vision-Based Assistive Technologies for People with Cerebral Visual Impairment: A Review and Focus Study
Over the past decade, considerable research has investigated Vision-Based Assistive Technologies (VBAT) to support people with vision impairments to understand and interact with their immediate environment using machine learning, computer vision, image enhancement, and/or augmented/virtual reality. However, this has almost totally overlooked a growing demographic: people with Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI). Unlike ocular vision impairments, CVI arises from damage to the brain's visual process…

Quality assessment of 3D human animation: Subjective and objective evaluation
Virtual human animations have a wide range of applications in virtual and augmented reality. While automatic generation methods of animated virtual humans have been developed, assessing their quality remains challenging. Recently, approaches introducing task-oriented evaluation metrics have been proposed, leveraging neural network training. However, quality assessment measures for animated virtual humans that are not generated with parametric body models have yet to be developed. In this contex…

Everybody is crushing their challenges, but I'm ashamed to have lost my 0 post challenge for this year :) Here is the evidence: https://www-gem.codeberg.page/picom/.

Critics of DEI often argue, that these programs promote hires purely on ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation while the qualification gets neglected.
If this was truely the case, then I would agree with them. These distinctive features should not play a role. However, the reality was (and apparently still is), that these factors do play a role and DEI measurements are an instrument to battle these, not to intensify them. The following example shows this best:
In 1942 - 1945 Nav…
