Realism Control One-step Diffusion for Real-World Image Super-Resolution
Pre-trained diffusion models have shown great potential in real-world image super-resolution (Real-ISR) tasks by enabling high-resolution reconstructions. While one-step diffusion (OSD) methods significantly improve efficiency compared to traditional multi-step approaches, they still have limitations in balancing fidelity and realism across diverse scenarios. Since the OSDs for SR are usually trained or distilled by a single timestep, they lack flexible control mechanisms to adaptively prioriti…

Realizing Parrondo's Paradox in Single-Qubit Quantum Walks via Local Phase-Induced Spatial Inhomogeneity
Parrondo's paradox describes a counterintuitive phenomenon where alternating between two individually losing games results in a winning expectation. While its classical origin relies on capital-dependent bias and noise-induced asymmetry, realizing a robust quantum version of the paradox has remained challenging, especially under the constraint of single-qubit coin systems. In this work, we demonstrate that a genuine quantum Parrondo effect can emerge in discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) by al…

Planar graphs embedded in generic ways and realizing them as Reeb graphs of real algebraic functions
This paper is concerned with long-time interest of us, especially, the author, in realizing graphs as Reeb graphs of real algebraic functions of certain nice classes. The Reeb graph of a differentiable function is the set consisting of all components of preimages of all single points and endowed with the quotient topology canonically. In tame cases, such objects are graphs. The Reeb graph of the natural height of the unit sphere of dimension at least $2$ is a graph with exactly one edge and h…
