A Scalable Exponential Random Graph Model: Amortised Hierarchical Sequential Neural Posterior Estimation with Applications in Neuroscience
Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) are an inferential model for analysing statistical networks. Recent development in ERGMs uses hierarchical Bayesian setup to jointly model a group of networks, which is called a multiple-network Exponential Random Graph Model (MN-ERGMs). MN-ERGM has been successfully applied on real-world resting-state fMRI data from the Cam-CAN project to infer the brain connectivity on aging. However, conventional Bayesian ERGM estimation approach is computationally int…

Learning Balanced Field Summaries of the Large-Scale Structure with the Neural Field Scattering Transform
We present a cosmology analysis of weak lensing convergence maps using the Neural Field Scattering Transform (NFST) to constrain cosmological parameters. The NFST extends the Wavelet Scattering Transform (WST) by incorporating trainable neural field filters while preserving rotational and translational symmetries. This setup balances flexibility with robustness, ideal for learning in limited training data regimes. We apply the NFST to 500 simulations from the CosmoGrid suite, each providing a t…

Prospects for the production and detection of Breit-Wheeler tunneling positrons in Experiment 320 at the FACET-II accelerator
The SLAC Experiment 320 collides 10 TW-class laser pulses with the high-quality, 10 GeV electron beam from the FACET-II RF LINAC. This setup is expected to produce a sizable number of $e^+e^-$ pairs via nonlinear Breit-Wheeler mechanism in the strong-field tunneling regime, with an estimated yield of ~0.01-0.1 pairs per collision. This small signal rate typically comes along with large backgrounds originating, e.g., from dumping the high-charge primary beam, secondaries induced by the beam halo…

Exchange-phase erasure in anyonic Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry
Two-particle interferometry is an important tool for extracting the exchange statistics of quantum particles. We theoretically investigate the prospects of such interferometry to probe the statistics of point-like anyonic excitations injected in a Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) setup based on a quantum point contact device in the fractional quantum Hall regime. We compute the standard HOM ratio, i.e., the ratio of tunneling noises for two- and one-particle injections, and find that for point-like anyons,…

Identification of RIS-Assisted Paths for Wireless Integrated Sensing and Communication
Distinguishing between reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted paths and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths is a fundamental problem for RIS-assisted integrated sensing and communication. In this work, we propose a pattern alternation scheme for the RIS response that uses part of the RIS as a dynamic part to modulate the estimated channel power, which can considerably help the user equipments (UEs) to identify the RIS-assisted paths. Under such a dynamic setup, we formulate the detection …

HARNode: A Time-Synchronised, Open-Source, Multi-Device, Wearable System for Ad Hoc Field Studies
Research into human activity recognition (HAR) suffers from a lack of comprehensive, freely available field data. Commercial systems are rarely open source, offer little expandability, and have shortcomings in node synchronisation, data throughput, placement clarity, setup complexity, and cost. As a result, only a few intuitively placed sensors are often used, and field trials are generally reduced. HARNode addresses these obstacles as a fully open-source hardware and software platform for rapi…

Emergence of thermodynamic functioning regimes from finite coupling between a quantum thermal machine and a load
Autonomous quantum thermal machines are particularly suited to understand how correlations between thermal baths, a load, and a thermal machine affect the overall thermodynamic functioning of the setup.

In particular, we show that as we increase the coupling strength, the engine mode is su…

B2LoRa: Boosting LoRa Transmission for Satellite-IoT Systems with Blind Coherent Combining
With the rapid growth of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, satellite-IoT systems using the LoRa technique have been increasingly deployed to provide widespread Internet services to low-power and low-cost ground devices. However, the long transmission distance and adverse environments from IoT satellites to ground devices pose a huge challenge to link reliability, as evidenced by the measurement results based on our real-world setup. In this paper, we propose a blind coherent combining d…

So, tracked down the issue with Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2024. The default permissions for the HOTAS `/dev/hidraw` devices is too restrictive. This is why neither MSFS 2024 or Elite: Dangerous saw the devices. I added new entries into the `udev` rules to relax the permissions and both games immediately saw the HOTAS.

Assessment of Polarization Entanglement Source: Photon Counting and Correlation Measurement
Commercial sources of polarization entanglement at telecommunication wavelengths are already available on the market, but they lack proper certification or third-party testing. We aim to provide a comprehensive testing framework for photon counting and correlation measurements to characterize the parameters of these sources in a scalable and repeatable manner. The detection setup is included in our considerations, as the non-idealities of the components negatively affect the relevance of the me…

ACT-R: Adaptive Camera Trajectories for Single View 3D Reconstruction
We introduce the simple idea of adaptive view planning to multi-view synthesis, aiming to improve both occlusion revelation and 3D consistency for single-view 3D reconstruction. Instead of producing an unordered set of views independently or simultaneously, we generate a sequence of views, leveraging temporal consistency to enhance 3D coherence. More importantly, our view sequence is not determined by a pre-determined and fixed camera setup. Instead, we compute an adaptive camera trajectory (AC…

SWE-bench Goes Live!
The issue-resolving task, where a model generates patches to fix real-world bugs, has emerged as a critical benchmark for evaluating the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). While SWE-bench and its variants have become standard in this domain, they suffer from key limitations: they have not been updated since their initial releases, cover a narrow set of repositories, and depend heavily on manual effort for instance construction and environment setup. These factors hinder scalability a…

Quasioptic, Calibrated, Full 2-port Measurements of Cryogenic Devices under Vacuum in the 220-330 GHz Band
A quasi-optical (QO) test bench was designed, simulated, and calibrated for characterizing S-parameters of devices in the 220-330 GHz (WR-3.4) frequency range, from room temperature down to 4.8 K. The devices were measured through vacuum windows via focused beam radiation. A de-embedding method employing line-reflect-match (LRM) calibration was established to account for the effects of optical components and vacuum windows. The setup provides all four S-parameters with the reference plane locat…

Backscattering Study of Electrons from 0.1 to 3.4 MeV
Benchmarking simulation codes for electron transport and scattering in matter is a crucial step for estimating uncertainties in many applications. However, experimental data for electron energies of a few MeV is scarce to make such comparisons. We report here the measurement and the quantitative analysis of backscattering probabilities of electrons in the energy range 0.1 to 3.4~MeV impinging on YAP:Ce scintillator. The setup consists of a $2\times 2π$ calorimeter which enables, in particular,…

Large amplitude mechanical coherent states and detection of weak nonlinearities in cavity optomechanics
The generation of large-amplitude coherent states of a massive mechanical resonator, and their quantum-limited detection represent useful tools for quantum sensing and for testing fundamental physics theories. In fact, any weak perturbation may affect the coherent quantum evolution of the prepared state, providing a sensitive probe for such a perturbation. Here we consider a cavity optomechanical setup and the case of the detection of a weak mechanical nonlinearity. We consider different strate…

Time Evolution of Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission in $^{252}$Cf(sf) and $^{233,235}$U($n$,f) Reactions
We investigate the time evolution of prompt fission $γ$ emission due to the presence of ns to ms isomers in the fragments produced in the neutron-induced fission of $^{233,235}$U and in the spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf. Calculations performed with the CGMF fission event generator are compared with recent experimental data on $^{252}$Cf(sf) and $^{235}$U($n$,f) obtained with the DANCE+NEUANCE setup at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. Of particular interest are the average $γ$-ray en…

Detecting the axion field with waveguide apparatus
We demonstrate that a conventional hollow conductor waveguide filled with a material exhibiting the coexistence of chiral magnetic and anomalous quantum Hall effects supports the propagation of transverse electromagnetic modes within its interior. This simple setup provides an optically feasible and direct method to probe the simultaneous presence of these phenomena, potentially enabling the detection of the axion field in the condensed matter realm.

Automated Polarization Basis Adjustment and Security Monitoring in Quantum Communication via Coincidence Entropies
Polarization-sensitive receivers for single photons are of crucial importance in various applications within the fields of quantum communication and quantum sensing, and are more commonly implemented in free-space optics rather than in optical fibers. This is primarily due to the unpredictable and varying birefringence in single-mode optical fibers. We present a method for birefringence compensation in an all-fiber detection setup that relies solely on coincidence measurements of a polarization…

A novel method for measuring the attenuation length and the group velocity of transparent liquids in a variable length cavity
The transparency of liquid scintillators or water is an important parameter for many detectors in particle and astroparticle physics. In this work, the Cavity Enhanced Long Light Path Attenuation Length Screening (CELLPALS) method for the determination of the attenuation length is presented for the first time. The method is based on an experimental setup similar to a Fabry-Pérot interferometer but adding up multiple-reflected intensities of a modulated light source. CELLPALS was developed to m…

Shot noise from which-path detection in a chiral Majorana interferometer
We calculate the full counting statistics of charge transfer in a chiral Majorana interferometer - a setup where a Dirac mode (an electron-hole mode) is split into two Majorana modes that encircle a number of h/2e vortices in a topological superconductor. Without any coupling to the environment it is known that the low-energy charge transfer is deterministic: An electron is transferred either as an electron or as a hole, dependent on the parity of the vortex number. We show that a stochastic co…
