LLM-Powered Swarms: A New Frontier or a Conceptual Stretch?
Swarm intelligence traditionally refers to systems of simple, decentralized agents whose local interactions lead to emergent, collective behavior. Recently, the term 'swarm' has been extended to describe AI systems like OpenAI's Swarm, where large language models (LLMs) act as collaborative agents. This paper contrasts traditional swarm algorithms with LLM-driven swarms exploring how decentralization, scalability, and emergence are redefined in modern artificial intelligence (AI). We implement …

Accelerating Cloud-Based Transcriptomics: Performance Analysis and Optimization of the STAR Aligner Workflow
In this work, we explore the Transcriptomics Atlas pipeline adapted for cost-efficient and high-throughput computing in the cloud. We propose a scalable, cloud-native architecture designed for running a resource-intensive aligner -- STAR -- and processing tens or hundreds of terabytes of RNA-sequencing data. We implement multiple optimization techniques that give significant execution time and cost reduction. The impact of particular optimizations is measured in medium-scale experiments followe…

A simplified and robust proxy-based approach for overcoming unmeasured confounding in EHR studies
Electronic health records (EHR) are used to study treatment effects in clinical settings, yet unmeasured confounding remains a persistent challenge. Indirect measurements of the unmeasured confounder (proxies) offer a potential solution, but existing approaches -- such as proximal inference or full joint modeling -- can be difficult to implement. We propose a two-stage, proxy-based method that is practical, broadly applicable, and robust. In the first stage, we apply factor analysis to proxy an…

Towards real-time additive-free dopamine detection at $10^{-8}$ mM with hardware accelerated platform integrated on camera
Tracing physiological neurotransmitters such as dopamine (DA) with detection limits down to $\mathrm{1\times10^{-8}}$ mM is a critical goal in neuroscience for studying brain functions and progressing the understanding of cerebral disease. Addressing this problem requires enhancing the current state-of-the-art additive-free electrochemical workstation methods by over two orders of magnitude. In this work, we implement an ultra-sensitive, additive-free platform exploiting suitably engineered lig…

Application of the optimized-basis generator coordinate method to low-lying excited states of sd-shell nuclei
We apply the optimized-basis generator coordinate method (OptGCM) to sd-shell nuclei, $^{20}$Ne, $^{24}$Mg, and $^{28}$Si. This method variationally optimizes both the basis Slater determinants in the generator coordinate method (GCM) and the corresponding weight coefficients. To analyze the low-lying excited states of those nuclei, we implement the angular momentum projection. With the Skyrme interaction, we show that the simultaneous optimzation of the basis functions and the weight factors l…

Quantum Circuits for the Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm
Szegedy's quantization of a reversible Markov chain provides a quantum walk whose mixing time is quadratically smaller than that of the classical walk. Quantum computers are therefore expected to provide a speedup of Metropolis-Hastings (MH) simulations. Existing generic methods to implement the quantum walk require coherently computing the acceptance probabilities of the underlying Markov kernel. However, reversible computing methods require a number of qubits that scales with the complexity o…

To this end, we introduce a scalar sextet and impose both lepton number conservation and invariance under a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry in the Lagrangian. This mechanism naturally generates small Dirac neutrino masses by allowing the soft breaking of the $Z_2$ symmetry through a unique term in the scalar potential, while preserving lepton number.

Stochastic Gradient-Descent Calibration of Pyragas Delayed-Feedback Control for Chaos Suppression in the Sprott Circuit
This paper investigates chaos control in the Sprott circuit, a minimal electronic system exhibiting complex nonlinear dynamics. Using the third-order nonlinear differential equation from Kaveh Merat paper, we model the circuit and implement delayed feedback control to suppress chaos. Experimental voltage data were extracted from published figures via WebPlotDigitizer. Then we explore two calibration techniques: Minimizing sum of squared errors (SSE), and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) with f…

Analysis of the MICCAI Brain Tumor Segmentation - Metastases (BraTS-METS) 2025 Lighthouse Challenge: Brain Metastasis Segmentation on Pre- and Post-treatment MRI
Despite continuous advancements in cancer treatment, brain metastatic disease remains a significant complication of primary cancer and is associated with an unfavorable prognosis. One approach for improving diagnosis, management, and outcomes is to implement algorithms based on artificial intelligence for the automated segmentation of both pre- and post-treatment MRI brain images. Such algorithms rely on volumetric criteria for lesion identification and treatment response assessment, which are …

Propose or Vote: A simple Democratic Procedure
This paper introduces a simple democratic procedure. In a first stage, all members of a polity decide whether to apply for proposal-making or later vote on proposals made in the second stage. This procedure is called Propose or Vote (PoV). With appropriate default points and majority voting over two randomly selected proposals, the PoV procedure can implement the Condorcet winner with only one round of voting if a Condorcet winner exists. We explore ways to establish uniqueness, alternative vot…

LEGO-Compiler: Enhancing Neural Compilation Through Translation Composability
Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to revolutionize how we design and implement compilers and code translation tools. However, existing LLMs struggle to handle long and complex programs. We introduce LEGO-Compiler, a novel neural compilation system that leverages LLMs to translate high-level languages into assembly code. Our approach centers on three key innovations: LEGO translation, which decomposes the input program into manageable blocks; breaking down the complex compilation p…

A high-sensitivity frequency counter for free-induction-decay signals
Real-time frequency readout of time-dependent pulsed signals with a high sensitivity are key elements in many applications using atomic devices, such as FID atomic magnetometers. In this paper, we propose a frequency measurement algorithm based on the Hilbert transform and implement such a scheme in a FPGA-based frequency counter. By testing pulsed exponential-decay oscillation signals in the frequency range of 10 to 500 kHz, this frequency counter shows a frequency sensitivity better than 0.1 …

DFPL: Decentralized Federated Prototype Learning Across Heterogeneous Data Distributions
Federated learning is a distributed machine learning paradigm through centralized model aggregation. However, standard federated learning relies on a centralized server, making it vulnerable to server failures. While existing solutions utilize blockchain technology to implement Decentralized Federated Learning (DFL), the statistical heterogeneity of data distributions among clients severely degrades the performance of DFL. Driven by this issue, this paper proposes a decentralized federated prot…

Pathfinding Quantum Simulations of Neutrinoless Double-$β$ Decay
We present results from co-designed quantum simulations of the neutrinoless double-$β$ decay of a simple nucleus in 1+1D quantum chromodynamics using IonQ's Forte-generation trapped-ion quantum computers. Electrons, neutrinos, and up and down quarks are distributed across two lattice sites and mapped to 32 qubits, with an additional 4 qubits used for flag-based error mitigation. A four-fermion interaction is used to implement weak interactions, and lepton-number violation is induced by a neutr…

Welfare Reform: Consequences for the Children
This paper uses register-based data to analyze the consequences of a recent major Danish welfare reform for children's academic performance and well-being. In addition to work requirements, the reform brought about considerable reductions in welfare transfers. We implement a comparative event study that contrasts outcomes for individuals on welfare at the time of reform announcement before and after the implementation of the reform with the parallel development in outcomes for an uncontaminated…

Modeling the Monty Hall Decision Problem with Reaction Kinetics
Using the Monty Hall probability problem as a model system, we ask whether simple chemical reaction mechanisms can implement optimal strategies for non-trivial decision making. In this puzzle, a contestant chooses one of three doors (only one hides a prize), the host, knowing the content, opens another door revealing no prize, and finally the contestant must decide whether to stay with the original choice or switch to the remaining closed door. Assigning distinct molecular species to the player…

LRScheduler: A Layer-aware and Resource-adaptive Container Scheduler in Edge Computing
Lightweight containers provide an efficient approach for deploying computation-intensive applications in network edge. The layered storage structure of container images can further reduce the deployment cost and container startup time. Existing researches discuss layer sharing scheduling theoretically but with little attention paid to the practical implementation. To fill in this gap, we propose and implement a Layer-aware and Resource-adaptive container Scheduler (LRScheduler) in edge computin…

Optical Spintronics: Towards Optical Communication Without Energy Transfer
Energy, momentum, and angular momentum are fundamental properties tied to the symmetries of space and time, with photons and other elementary particles acting as carriers of these quantities. In most optical and optoelectronic devices, energy transfer is crucial, but it often results in undesirable energy absorption. Moreover, non-reciprocal elements such as optical diodes and circulators are difficult to implement in photonics, as they typically require time-dependent perturbations, nonlinear …

Cavity QED with molecular defects coupled to to a photonic crystal cavity
We implement permanent spectral tuning to bring lifetime-limited emitters into collective resonance within an integrated photonic cavity. This addresses a fundamental challenge in solid-state cavity QED: combining multiple coherent quantum emitters with scalable nanophotonics. Our hybrid approach decouples emitter synthesis from nanophotonic fabrication using straightforward techniques that make cavity QED broadly accessible. High doping densities allow us to couple several coherent emitters to…

A Review of Design Concerns in Superconducting Quantum Circuits
In this short review we describe the process of designing a superconducting circuit device for quantum information applications. We discuss the factors that must be considered to implement a desired effective Hamiltonian on a device. We describe the translation between a device's physical layout, the circuit graph, and the effective Hamiltonian. We go over the process of electromagnetic simulation of a device layout to predict its behavior. We also discuss concerns such as connectivity, crossta…

Trade among moral agents with information asymmetries
I study a sequential bilateral trade setting with asymmetric information, where one side has all the bargaining power and makes a take-it-or-leave-it price offer. Both agents hold a certain degree of Kantian morality and thus care about what would have happened had their actions been adopted by their counterpart. In order to capture this, I implement a Veil-of-Ignorance approach, whereby players are uncertain about their role and are thus forced to submit strategies for both the case where they…
