A Converse For the Capacity of the Shotgun Sequencing Channel with Erasures
The shotgun sequencing process involves fragmenting a long DNA sequence (input string) into numerous shorter, unordered, and overlapping segments (referred to as \emph{reads}). The reads are sequenced, and later aligned to reconstruct the original string. Viewing the sequencing process as the read-phase of a DNA storage system, the information-theoretic capacity of noise-free shotgun sequencing has been characterized in literature. Motivated by the base-wise quality scores available in practica…

I am flummoxed at this sign next to a parking lot for a walking trail. I thought this could be just superfluous quotes, but... it's a parking lot? Then I just thought, do they mean no making out after dark? #scandlous

Breaking the Black Box: Inherently Interpretable Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Imbalanced Seismic Data
Ground motion models (GMMs) predict how strongly the ground will shake during an earthquake. They are essential for structural analysis, seismic design, and seismic risk assessment studies. Traditional machine learning (ML) approaches are popular to develop GMMs, due to large earthquake databases worldwide. However, they operate as "black boxes," which are hard to interpret and trust, limiting their use in high-stake decisions. Additionally, these databases suffer from significant data imbalanc…

Amplifying Two-Mode Squeezing in Nanomechanical Resonators
Quantum squeezing plays a crucial role in enhancing the precision of quantum metrology and improving the efficiency of quantum information processing protocols. We thus propose a scheme to amplify two-mode squeezing in nanomechanical resonators, harnessing parametric amplification and two-tone laser controls. The red-detuned laser drives facilitate the cooling of the nanomechanical resonators down to their ground state and allow optimal quantum state transfer in the weak-coupling, resolved side…

Optimal squeezing to minimize vulnerability to losses
Non-Gaussian states, described by Wigner quasi-probability distribution taking negative values, are of great interest for various applications of quantum physics. It is known however that they are highly vulnerable to dissipation. In this paper, we show that the robustness of the non-Gaussian states to losses can be significantly improved by pre-squeezing of the quantum state, and find the optimal parameters of the squeezing. As specific examples, we consider such well-known quantum states as S…
