Quantum Protocols for ML, Physics, and Finance

In this thesis, we give new protocols that offer a quantum advantage for problems in ML, Physics, and Finance. Quantum mechanics gives predictions that are inconsistent with local realism. The experiment proving this fact (Bell, 1964) gives a quantum proto ...

Nonlocal Detection of Interlayer Three-Magnon Coupling

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Yu Zhang, Jilei Chen, Song Liu

A leading nonlinear effect in magnonics is the interaction that splits a high-frequency magnon into two low-frequency magnons with conserved linear momentum. Here, we report experimental observation of nonlocal three-magnon scattering between spatially sep ...

Nonlocally-resonant metamaterials

Aleksi Antoine Bossart

In this thesis, we unveil a third design path to manipulate elastic waves within architected media, distinct from the traditional phononic crystal and locally-resonant metamaterial concepts. The core innovation lies in the concept of nonlocal resonances, d ...

A structured prediction approach for robot imitation learning

Aude Billard, Iason Batzianoulis, Anqing Duan

We propose a structured prediction approach for robot imitation learning from demonstrations. Among various tools for robot imitation learning, supervised learning has been observed to have a prominent role. Structured prediction is a form of supervised le ...

Estimation of separable direct and indirect effects in continuous time

Mats Julius Stensrud

Many research questions involve time-to-event outcomes that can be prevented from occurring due to competing events. In these settings, we must be careful about the causal interpretation of classical statistical estimands. In particular, estimands on the h ...

Superexchange mechanism and quantum many body excitations in the archetypal di-Cu oxo-bridge

Edward Baxter Linscott, Cédric Weber

The hemocyanin protein binds and transports molecular oxygen via two copper atoms at its core. The singlet state of the Cu2O2 core is thought to be stabilised by a superexchange pathway, but detailed in situ computational analysis is complicated by the mul ...

Staggered flux state for rectangular-lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Dmitri Ivanov, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Noore Elahi Shaik

We investigate the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a rectangular lattice, using the Gutzwiller projected variational wave function known as the staggered flux state. Using Monte Carlo techniques, the variational parameters and instantaneous spin-spin correlat ...

Towards the K(2)-local homotopy groups of Z

Philip Egger

Previously (Adv. Math. 360 (2020) art. id. 106895), we introduced a class (Z) over tilde of 2-local finite spectra and showed that all spectra Z is an element of (Z) over tilde admit a v(2)-self-map of periodicity 1. The aim here is to compute the K(2)-loc ...

Incorporating long-range physics in atomic-scale machine learning

Michele Ceriotti, Andrea Grisafi

The most successful and popular machine learning models of atomic-scale properties derive their transferability from a locality ansatz. The properties of a large molecule or a bulk material are written as a sum over contributions that depend on the configu ...

Sign-Changing Solutions for a Class of Zero Mass Nonlocal Schrodinger Equations

We consider the following class of fractional Schrodinger equations: (-Delta)(alpha)u + V(x)u = K(x)f(u) in R-N, where alpha is an element of (0, 1), N > 2 alpha, (-Delta)(alpha) is the fractional Laplacian, V and K are positive continuous functions which ...

Simulating Local Buckling-Induced Softening in Steel Members Using an Equivalent Nonlocal Material Model in Displacement-Based Fiber Elements

Dimitrios Lignos

Fiber-based elements are commonly used to simulate steel beam-columns because of their ability to capture P-M interactions and spread of plasticity. However, when mechanisms such as local buckling result in effective softening at the fiber scale, conventio ...

Non-Discriminatory Machine Learning through Convex Fairness Criteria

Boi Faltings, Naman Goel, Mohammad Yaghini

Biased decision making by machine learning systems is increasingly recognized as an important issue. Recently, techniques have been proposed to learn non-discriminatory classifiers by enforcing constraints in the training phase. Such constraints are either ...

Ursula Röthlisberger, Jiri Vanicek, Swarnendu Bhattacharyya, Sergey Antipov

Several strategies for simulating the ultrafast dynamics of molecules induced by interactions with electromagnetic fields are presented. After a brief overview of the theory of molecule-field interaction, we present several representative examples of quant ...

Optospintronics in Graphene via Proximity Coupling

Andras Kis, Oriol López Sánchez, Ahmet Avsar, Dmitrii Unuchek

The observation of micrometer size spin relaxation makes graphene a promising material for applications in spintronics requiring long-distance spin communication. However, spin dependent scatterings at the contact/graphene interfaces affect the spin inject ...

Nonlocal electromagnetic response of graphene nanostructures

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone

Nonlocal electromagnetic effects of graphene arise from its naturally dispersive dielectric response. We present semianalytical solutions of nonlocal Maxwell's equations for graphene nanoribbon arrays with features around 100 nm, where we found prominent d ...
