Foundation Model-Based Adaptive Semantic Image Transmission for Dynamic Wireless Environments
Foundation model-based semantic transmission has recently shown great potential in wireless image communication. However, existing methods exhibit two major limitations: (i) they overlook the varying importance of semantic components for specific downstream tasks, and (ii) they insufficiently exploit wireless domain knowledge, resulting in limited robustness under dynamic channel conditions. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a foundation model-based adaptive semantic image trans…

Coordinated vs. Sequential Transmission Planning
Coordinated planning of generation, storage, and transmission more accurately captures the interactions among these three capacity types necessary to meet electricity demand, at least in theory. However, in practice, U.S. system operators typically follow a sequential planning approach: They first determine future generation and storage additions based on an assumed unconstrained (`copper plate') system. Next, they perform dispatch simulations of this projected generation and storage capacity m…

On parameterized nonlocal-fractional transmission problems and associated function spaces
In this paper, we consider a family of seamlessly coupled nonlocal models associated with transmission conditions across an interface. The models are derived from the variation of a parameterized family of energies consisting of a fractional type Dirichlet energy on one subdomain and a nonlocal Dirichlet energy involving a finite range of interactions on another subdomain. We present the rigorous mathematical formulation and its well-posedness. We also investigate the behavior of the model in v…

FedBit: Accelerating Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning via Bit-Interleaved Packing and Cross-Layer Co-Design
Federated learning (FL) with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) effectively safeguards data privacy during model aggregation by encrypting local model updates before transmission, mitigating threats from untrusted servers or eavesdroppers in transmission. However, the computational burden and ciphertext expansion associated with homomorphic encryption can significantly increase resource and communication overhead. To address these challenges, we propose FedBit, a hardware/software co-designed f…

Inspired by the analogous results for Laplacian and Steklov eigenvalues, we show that critical metrics for this problem correspond to the so-called stationary configurations in the Euclidean ball, i.e. pieces of minimal surfaces inside the ball whose normals…

However, compression can potentially impair the detector's ability to distinguish between regular and irregular patterns due to information loss. Here we extend the information-theoretic framework introduced in [1] to simultaneously address the trade-off between the three features on which the effectiveness…

Experimental demonstration of genuine quantum information transmission through completely depolarizing channels in a superposition of cyclic orders
A major challenge in quantum communication is addressing the negative effects of noise on channel capacity, especially for completely depolarizing channels, where information transmission is inherently impossible. The concept of indefinite causal order provides a promising solution by allowing control over the sequence in which channels are applied. We experimentally demonstrate the activation of quantum communication through completely depolarizing channels using a programmable silicon photoni…

Topological Robustness of Anyon Tunneling at $ν= 1/3$
The scaling exponent $g$ of the quasiparticle propagator for incompressible fractional quantum Hall states in the Laughlin sequence is expected to be robust against perturbations that do not close the gap. Here we probe the topological robustness of the chiral Luttinger liquid at the boundary of the $ν=1/3$ state by measuring the tunneling conductance between counterpropagating edge modes as a function of quantum point contact transmission. We demonstrate that for transmission $t\geq 0.7$ the …

Analysis of the transmission eigenvalue problem for biharmonic scattering considering penetrable scatterers
In this paper, we provide an analytical study of the transmission eigenvalue problem in the context of biharmonic scattering with a penetrable obstacle. We will assume that the underlying physical model is given by an infinite elastic two--dimensional Kirchhoff--Love plate in $\mathbb{R}^2$, where the plate's thickness is small relative to the wavelength of the incident wave. In previous studies, transmission eigenvalues have been studied for acoustic scattering, whereas in this case, we consid…

CANOPI: Contingency-Aware Nodal Optimal Power Investments with High Temporal Resolution
We present CANOPI, a novel algorithmic framework, for solving the Contingency-Aware Nodal Power Investments problem, a large-scale nonlinear optimization problem that jointly optimizes generation, storage, and transmission expansion. The underlying problem is nonlinear due to the impact of transmission upgrades on impedances, and the problem's large scale arises from the confluence of spatial and temporal resolutions. We propose algorithmic approaches to address these computational challenges. …

High-efficiency and long-distance quantum memory-assisted device-independent quantum secret sharing with single photon sources
Quantum secret sharing (QSS) plays a critical role in building the distributed quantum networks. Device-independent (DI) QSS provides the highest security level for QSS. However, the photon transmission loss and extremely low multipartite entanglement generation rate largely limit DI QSS's secure photon transmission distance and practical key generation efficiency. To address the above drawbacks, we propose the quantum memory-assisted (QMA) DI QSS protocol based on single photon sources (SPSs).…

Dimensionally-Efficient Transmission and Storage of Unitary Matrices
Unitary matrices are the basis of a large number of signal processing applications. In many of these applications, finding ways to efficiently store, and even transmit these matrices, can significantly reduce memory and throughput requirements.

Abstract: Reconfigurable photonic devices are rapidly emerging as a cornerstone of next generation optical technologies, with wide ranging applications in quantum simulation, neuromorphic computing, and large-scale photonic processors. A central challenge in this field is identifying an optimal platform to enable compact, efficient, and scalable reconfigurability. Optical phase-change materials (PCMs) offer a compelling solution by enabling non-volatile, reversible tuning of optical properties, compatible with a wide range of device platforms and current CMOS technologies. In particular, antimony tri-selenide ($\text{Sb}_{2}\text{Se}_{3}$) stands out for its ultra low-loss characteristics at telecommunication wavelengths and its reversible switching. In this work, we present an experimental platform capable of encoding multi-port operations onto the transmission matrix of a compact multimode interferometer architecture on standard 220~nm silicon photonics using \textit{in-silico} designed digital patterns. The multi-port devices are clad with a thin film of $\text{Sb}_{2}\text{Se}_{3}$, which can be optically addressed using direct laser writing to provide local perturbations to the refractive index. A range of multi-port geometries from 2$\times$2 up to 5$\times$5 couplers are demonstrated, achieving simultaneous control of up to 25 matrix elements with programming accuracy of 90% relative to simulated patterns. Patterned devices remain stable with consistent optical performance across the C-band wavelengths. Our work establishes a pathway towards the development of large scale PCM-based reconfigurable multi-port devices which will allow implementing matrix operations on three orders of magnitude smaller areas than interferometer meshes.

Fundamental Quality Bound on Optical Quantum Communication
Sending quantum information reliably over long distances is a central challenge in quantum technology in general, and in quantum optics in particular, since most quantum communication relies on optical fibres or free-space links. Here, we address this problem by shifting the focus from the quantity of information sent to the quality of the transmission, i.e. the rate of decay of the transmission error with respect to the number of channel uses. For the general class of teleportation-simulable c…

Deep JWST spectroscopy of galaxies in a candidate ionized bubble at $z = 8.7$: probing reionization at pMpc scales with Ly$α$ emission
Strong Ly$α$ emission observed from galaxies when the Universe is expected to be highly neutral is thought to trace large ionized regions that facilitate the transmission of Ly$α$ through the IGM. In this work, we use deep JWST Ly$α$ spectroscopy to constrain the size of a candidate ionized bubble at $z\sim8.7$ in the EGS field, with a potential radius of $R_b=2$ physical Mpc (pMpc) or larger. We measure a photometric galaxy density and find that the volume is a factor of $\sim2.5-3.6$ overd…
