An Efficient Deep Template Matching and In-Plane Pose Estimation Method via Template-Aware Dynamic Convolution
In industrial inspection and component alignment tasks, template matching requires efficient estimation of a target's position and geometric state (rotation and scaling) under complex backgrounds to support precise downstream operations. Traditional methods rely on exhaustive enumeration of angles and scales, leading to low efficiency under compound transformations. Meanwhile, most deep learning-based approaches only estimate similarity scores without explicitly modeling geometric pose, making …

Observing Two-Particle Correlation Dynamics in Tunable Superconducting Bose-Hubbard Simulators
The generation and propagation of quantum correlations are central to understanding many dynamical properties of quantum systems, yet their precise experimental control and characterization remain a key challenge. Here we experimentally study the two-particle correlation dynamics via quantum walks in superconducting Bose-Hubbard qutrit arrays, with tunable on-site interaction $U$ realized by Floquet engineering. Quantum walks show the characteristic change from bosonic bunching to fermionic ant…

Heute standen die Tempel und Schreine im Osten von #Kyoto auf dem Plan, die wir entlang des Waldrandes abgingen. Start war beim Kiyomizu-dera, der im Wald am Hang eingebettet schöne Blicke auf den Tempel selbst und die Stadt bietet.
Weiter ging es durch das noch historisch erhaltene Viertel Higashiyama, unter anderem zum Kodai-ji mit seinem schönen Garten und dem Chion-in.

Good things are coming. 💗
I just know it. 💕😻

Tunable Coatings on Various Substrates for Self-Adaptive Energy Harvesting with Daytime Solar Heating and Nighttime Radiative Cooling
In this work, tunable vanadium dioxide (VO2) metafilms on different substrate materials fabricated via low-oxygen furnace oxidation are demonstrated for self-adaptive daytime solar heating and nighttime radiative cooling. Because of its thermally-driven insulator-to-metal phase transition behavior, the VO2 metafilms work as spectrally-selective solar absorber with a high solar absorptance of 0.86 and a low infrared emissivity of ~0.2 at daytime, while they behave as selective cooler at nighttim…

At a crossroads. I feel so very done with decades of working in large IT projects.

Considering pursuing employment, or going all in on becoming more independent selling digital products (templates, worksheets, courses, ebooks and more).

I think I really would like to give the latter a go, but it also feels incredibly daunting. I need to set up a plan, but obviously should also do market research, likely by doing some proof of concepts and MVPs…

Or start a physical bo…

Highly tunable band structure in ferroelectric R-stacked bilayer WSe$_2$
Transition metal dichalcogenide homobilayers unite two frontiers of quantum materials research: sliding ferroelectricity, arising from rhombohedral (R) stacking, and moiré quantum matter, emerging from small-angle twisting. The spontaneous polarization of ferroelectric R-stacked homobilayers produces a highly tunable band structure, which, together with strain-induced piezoelectricity, governs the topology and correlated electronic phases of twisted bilayers. Here we present a systematic low-t…
