Aberration correction is an important aspect of modern high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. Most methods of aligning aberration correctors require specialized sample regions and are unsuitable for fine-tuning aberrations without interrupting on-going experiments. Here, we present an automated method of correcting first- and second-order aberrations called BEACON which uses Bayesian optimization of the normalized image variance to efficiently determine the optimal corrector settings. We demonstrate its use on gold nanoparticles and a hafnium dioxide thin film showing its versatility in nano- and atomic-scale experiments. BEACON can correct all first- and second-order aberrations simultaneously to achieve an initial alignment and first- and second-order aberrations independently for fine alignment. Ptychographic reconstructions are used to demonstrate an improvement in probe shape and a reduction in the target aberration.

The increased brightness temperature of young rocky protoplanets during their magma ocean epoch makes them potentially amenable to atmospheric characterization to distances from the solar system far greater than thermally equilibrated terrestrial exoplanets, offering observational opportunities for unique insights into the origin of secondary atmospheres and the near surface conditions of prebiotic environments. The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) mission will employ a space-based mid-infrared nulling interferometer to directly measure the thermal emission of terrestrial exoplanets. Here, we seek to assess the capabilities of various instrumental design choices of the LIFE mission concept for the detection of cooling protoplanets with transient high-temperature magma ocean atmospheres, in young stellar associations in particular. Using the LIFE mission instrument simulator (LIFEsim) we assess how specific instrumental parameters and design choices, such as wavelength coverage, aperture diameter, and photon throughput, facilitate or disadvantage the detection of protoplanets. We focus on the observational sensitivities of distance to the observed planetary system, protoplanet brightness temperature using a blackbody assumption, and orbital distance of the potential protoplanets around both G- and M-dwarf stars. Our simulations suggest that LIFE will be able to detect (S/N $\geq$ 7) hot protoplanets in young stellar associations up to distances of $\approx$100 pc from the solar system for reasonable integration times (up to $\sim$hours). Detection of an Earth-sized protoplanet orbiting a solar-sized host star at 1 AU requires less than 30 minutes of integration time. M-dwarfs generally need shorter integration times. The contribution from wavelength regions $<$6 $\mu$m is important for decreasing the detection threshold and discriminating emission temperatures., Comment: 18 pages, 19 figures; accepted for publication in A&A

Astrophysics - Earth and Planetary Astrophysics - Abstract
In the last 15 years, since the discovery of the first low-mass planets beyond the solar system, there has been tremendous progress in understanding the diversity of (super-)Earth and sub-Neptune exoplanets. Especially the influence of the planetary interior on the surface evolution (including the atmosphere) of exoplanets has been studied in detail. The first studies focused on the characterization of planets, including their potential interior structure, using as key observables only mass and radius. Meanwhile, a new field of geosciences of exoplanets has emerged, linking the planet to its stellar environment, and by coupling interior chemistry and dynamics to surface regimes and atmospheric compositions. The new era of atmospheric characterization by JWST as well as the ELT will allow testing of these theoretical predictions of atmospheric diversity based on interior structure, evolution, and outgassing models., Comment: Preprint of a chapter for the 'Encyclopedia of Astrophysics' (Editor-in-Chief Ilya Mandel, Section Editor Dimitri Veras) to be published by Elsevier as a Reference Module

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
A data-driven method using Grassmann manifold learning is proposed to identify a low-dimensional actuation manifold for flow-controlled fluid flows. The snapshot flow field are twice compressed using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and a diffusion model. Key steps of the actuation manifold are Grassmann manifold-based Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE) as the encoder and K-nearest neighbor regression (kNN) as the decoder. This methodology is first tested on a simple dielectric cylinder in a homogeneous electric field to predict the out-of-sample electric field, demonstrating fast and accurate performance. Next, the present model is evaluated by predicting dynamic coherence modes of an oscillating-rotation cylinder. The cylinder's oscillating rotation amplitude and frequency are regarded as independent control parameters. The mean mode and the first dynamic mode are selected as the representative cases to test present model. For the mean mode, the Grassman manifold describes all parameterized modes with 8 latent variables. All the modes can be divided into four clusters, and they share similar features but with different wake length. For the dynamic mode, the Grassman manifold describes all modes with 12 latent variables. All the modes can be divided into three clusters. Intriguingly, each cluster is aligned with clear physical meanings. One describes the near-wake periodic vortex shedding resembling Karman vortices, one describes the far wake periodic vortex shedding, and one shows high-frequency K-H vortices shedding. Moreover, Grassmann-kNN manifold learning can accurately predict the modes. It is possible to estimate the full flow state with small reconstruction errors just by knowing the actuation parameters. This manifold learning model is demonstrated to be crucial for flow control-oriented flow estimation., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2107.09814 by other authors

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
We propose a physics-informed data-driven framework for urban wind estimation. This framework validates and incorporates the Reynolds number independence for turbulent flows, thus allowing the extrapolation for wind conditions far beyond the training data. Another key enabler is a machine-learned non-dimensionalized manifold from snapshot data. The velocity field is modeled using a double encoder-decoder approach. The first encoder normalizes data using the oncoming wind speed, while the second encoder projects this normalized data onto the isometric feature mapping manifold. The decoders reverse this process, with $k$-nearest neighbor performing the first decoding and the second undoing the normalization. The manifold is coarse-grained by clustering to reduce the computational load for de- and encoding. The sensor-based flow estimation is based on the estimate of the oncoming wind speed and a mapping from sensor signal to the manifold latent variables. The proposed machine-learned flow estimation framework is exemplified for the flow above an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) vertiport. The wind estimation is shown to generalize well for rare wind conditions, not included in the original database.

Computer Science - Machine Learning ,Physics - Computational Physics - Abstract
Developing robust representations of chemical structures that enable models to learn topological inductive biases is challenging. In this manuscript, we present a representation of atomistic systems. We begin by proving that our representation satisfies all structural, geometric, efficiency, and generalizability constraints. Afterward, we provide a general algorithm to encode any atomistic system. Finally, we report performance comparable to state-of-the-art methods on numerous tasks. We open-source all code and datasets. The code and data are available at https://github.com/rahulkhorana/PolyatomicComplexes.

Condensed Matter - Strongly Correlated Electrons - Abstract
We study the time evolution of a one-dimensional system of strongly correlated electrons (a 'sample') that is suddenly coupled to a smaller, initially empty system (a 'nanoprobe'), which can subsequently move along the system. Our purpose here is to study the role of interactions in this model system when it is far from equilibrium. We therefore take both the sample and the nanoprobe to be described by a Hubbard model with on-site repulsive interactions and nearest-neighbor hopping. We compute the behavior of the local particle density and the local density of states (LDOS) as a function of time using time-dependent matrix product states at quarter and at half filling, fillings at which the chain realizes a Luttinger liquid or a Mott insulator, respectively. This allows us to study in detail the oscillation of the particles between the sample and the nanoprobe. While, for noninteracting systems, the LDOS is time-independent, in the presence of interactions, the backflow of electrons to the sample will lead to nontrivial dynamics in the LDOS. In particular, studying the time-dependent LDOS allows us to study how the Mott gap closes locally and how this melting of the Mott insulator propagates through the system in time after such a local perturbation -- a behavior that we envisage can be investigated in future experiments on ultrashort time scales or on optical lattices using microscopy setups.

Physics - Fluid Dynamics ,Nonlinear Sciences - Chaotic Dynamics - Abstract
We propose a novel reduced-order methodology to describe complex multi-frequency fluid dynamics from time-resolved snapshot data. Starting point is the Cluster-based Network Model (CNM) thanks to its fully automatable development and human interpretability. Our key innovation is to model the transitions from cluster to cluster much more accurately by replacing snapshot states with short-term trajectories ("orbits") over multiple clusters, thus avoiding nonphysical intra-cluster diffusion in the dynamic reconstruction. The proposed orbital CNM (oCNM) employs functional clustering to coarse-grain the short-term trajectories. Specifically, different filtering techniques, resulting in different temporal basis expansions, demonstrate the versatility and capability of the oCNM to adapt to diverse flow phenomena. The oCNM is illustrated on the Stuart-Landau oscillator and its post-transient solution with time-varying parameters to test its ability to capture the amplitude selection mechanism and multi-frequency behaviours. Then, the oCNM is applied to the fluidic pinball across varying flow regimes at different Reynolds numbers, including the periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic dynamics. This orbital-focused perspective enhances the understanding of complex temporal behaviours by incorporating high-frequency behaviour into the kinematics of short-time trajectories while modelling the dynamics of the lower frequencies. In analogy to Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition, which marked the transition from spatial-only modes to spatio-temporal ones, this work advances from analysing temporal local states to examining piecewise short-term trajectories, or orbits. By merging advanced analytical methods, such as the functional representation of short-time trajectories with CNM, this study paves the way for new approaches to dissect the complex dynamics characterising turbulent systems.

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large number of stars. PLATO will detect small planets (down to <2 R_(Earth)) around bright stars (<11 mag), including terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars. With the complement of radial velocity observations from the ground, planets will be characterised for their radius, mass, and age with high accuracy (5 %, 10 %, 10 % for an Earth-Sun combination respectively). PLATO will provide us with a large-scale catalogue of well-characterised small planets up to intermediate orbital periods, relevant for a meaningful comparison to planet formation theories and to better understand planet evolution. It will make possible comparative exoplanetology to place our Solar System planets in a broader context. In parallel, PLATO will study (host) stars using asteroseismology, allowing us to determine the stellar properties with high accuracy, substantially enhancing our knowledge of stellar structure and evolution. The payload instrument consists of 26 cameras with 12cm aperture each. For at least four years, the mission will perform high-precision photometric measurements. Here we review the science objectives, present PLATO's target samples and fields, provide an overview of expected core science performance as well as a description of the instrument and the mission profile at the beginning of the serial production of the flight cameras. PLATO is scheduled for a launch date end 2026. This overview therefore provides a summary of the mission to the community in preparation of the upcoming operational phases.

Quantum Physics - Abstract
Simon's hidden subgroup algorithm was the first quantum algorithm to prove the superiority of quantum computing over classical computing in terms of complexity. Measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) is a formulation of quantum computing that, while equivalent in terms of computational power, can be advantageous in experiments and in displaying the core mechanics of quantum algorithms. We present a reformulation of the Simon algorithm into the language of MBQC -- in detail for two qubits and schematically for $n$ qubits. We utilize the framework of ZX-calculus, a graphical tensor description of quantum states and operators, to translate the circuit description of the algorithm into a form concordant with MBQC. The result for the two-qubit Simon algorithm is a ten-qubit cluster state on which single-qubit measurements suffice to extract the desired information. Additionally, we show that the $n$-qubit version of the Simon algorithm can be formulated in MBQC as cluster state graph with $2n$ nodes and $n^2$ edges. This is an example of the MBQC formulation of a quantum algorithm that is exponentially faster than its classical counterpart. As such, this formulation should aid in understanding the core mechanics of such an established algorithm and could serve as a blueprint for experimental implementation.

This study experimentally optimizes the mixing of a turbulent jet at $Re=10000$ with the surrounding air by targeted shear layer actuation. The forcing is composed of superposed harmonic signals of different azimuthal wavenumber $m$ generated by eight loudspeakers circumferentially distributed around the nozzle lip. Amplitudes and frequencies of the individual harmonic contributions serve as optimization parameters and the time-averaged centerline velocity downstream of the potential core is used as a metric for mixing optimization. The actuation is optimized through Bayesian optimization. Three search spaces are explored - axisymmetric forcing, $m=0$, superposed axisymmetric and helical forcing, $m \in \{0,1\}$, and axisymmetric actuation combined with two counter-rotating helical modes, $m \in \{-1,0,1\}$. High-speed PIV is employed to analyze the jet response to the optimized forcing. The optimization processes are analyzed by persistent data topology. In the search space of axisymmetric excitation, the routine identifies an actuation at the natural frequency of the flow to be most efficient, with the centerline velocity being decreased by $15\%$. The optimal solutions in both the two-mode and three-mode search space converge to a similar forcing with one axial and one helical mode combined at a frequency ratio of around $2.3$. Spectral analysis of the PIV images reveals that for the identified optimal forcing frequencies, a non-linear interaction between forced and natural structures in the jet flow is triggered, leading to a reduction in centerline velocity of around $35\%$. The topology of the most complex search space from the discrete data reveals four basins of attractions, classified into three forcing patterns including axisymmetric, axisym.-helical, and axisym.-flapping. Two deep basins are related to the optimal axisym.-helical pattern, and the others are shallower.

Computer Science - Robotics - Abstract
This work introduces a flexible and versatile method for the data-efficient yet conservative transmission of covariance matrices, where a matrix element is only transmitted if a so-called triggering condition is satisfied for the element. Here, triggering conditions can be parametrized on a per-element basis, applied simultaneously to yield combined triggering conditions or applied only to certain subsets of elements. This allows, e.g., to specify transmission accuracies for individual elements or to constrain the bandwidth available for the transmission of subsets of elements. Additionally, a methodology for learning triggering condition parameters from an application-specific dataset is presented. The performance of the proposed approach is quantitatively assessed in terms of data reduction and conservativeness using estimate data derived from real-world vehicle trajectories from the InD-dataset, demonstrating substantial data reduction ratios with minimal over-conservativeness. The feasibility of learning triggering condition parameters is demonstrated., Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, submitted to: IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control

We propose a data-driven methodology to learn a low-dimensional actuation manifold of controlled flows. The starting point is resolving snapshot flow data for a representative ensemble of actuations. Key enablers for the actuation manifold are isometric mapping as encoder and k-nearest neighbour regression as a decoder. This methodology is tested for the fluidic pinball, a cluster of three parallel cylinders perpendicular to the oncoming uniform flow. The centers of these cylinders are the vertices of an equilateral triangle pointing upstream. The flow is manipulated by constant rotation of the cylinders, i.e. described by three actuation parameters. The Reynolds number based on a cylinder diameter is chosen to be 30. The unforced flow yields statistically symmetric unforced periodic shedding represented by a one-dimensional limit cycle. The proposed methodology yields a five-dimensional manifold describing a wide range of dynamics with small representation error. Interestingly, the manifold coordinates automatically unveil physically meaningful parameters. Two of them describe the downstream periodic vortex shedding. The other three ones describe the near-field actuation, i.e. the strength of boat-tailing, the Magnus effect and forward stagnation point. The manifold is shown to be a key enabler for control-oriented flow estimation., Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures

This paper proposes an algebraic observer-based modulating function approach for linear time-variant systems and a class of nonlinear systems with discrete measurements. The underlying idea lies in constructing an observability transformation that infers some properties of the modulating function approach for designing such algebraic observers. First, we investigate the algebraic observer design for linear time-variant systems under an observable canonical form for continuous-time measurements. Then, we provide the convergence of the observation error in an L2-gain stability sense. Next, we develop an exponentially stable sampled-data observer which relies on the design of the algebraic observer and an output predictor to achieve state estimation from available measurements and under small inter-sampling periods. Using a trajectory-based approach, we prove the convergence of the observation error within a convergence rate that can be adjusted through the fixed time-horizon length of the modulating function and the upper bound of the sampling period. Furthermore, robustness of the sampled-data algebraic observer, which yields input-to-state stability, is inherited by the modulating kernel and the closed-loop output predictor design. Finally, we discuss the implementation procedure of the MF-based observer realization, demonstrate the applicability of the algebraic observer, and illustrate its performance through two examples given by linear time-invariant and linear time-variant systems with nonlinear input-output injection terms., Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Automatica

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
This paper focuses on developing a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) control strategy to mitigate aerodynamic forces acting on a three dimensional (3D) square cylinder under high Reynolds number flow conditions. Four jets situated at the corners of the square cylinder are used as actuators and pressure probes on the cylinder surface are employed as feedback observers. The Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) algorithm is deployed to identify an effective control scheme. Additionally, we pre-train the DRL agent using a two dimensional (2D) square cylinder flow field at a low Reynolds number (Re =1000), followed by transferring it to the 3D square cylinder at Re =22000. To address the issue of state dimension mismatch in transfer learning from 2D to 3D case, a state dimension mismatch transfer learning method is developed to enhance the SAC algorithm, named SDTL-SAC. The results demonstrate transfer learning across different state spaces achieves the same control policy as the SAC algorithm, resulting in a significant improvement in training speed with a training cost reduction of 51.1%. Furthermore, the SAC control strategy leads to a notable 52.3% reduction in drag coefficient, accompanied by substantial suppression of lift fluctuations. These outcomes underscore the potential of DRL in active flow control, laying the groundwork for efficient, robust, and practical implementation of this control technique in practical engineering.

Information and Computing Sciences ,Statistics ,Mathematical Sciences - Abstract
The Gaussian process (GP) is a popular statistical technique for stochastic function approximation and uncertainty quantification from data. GPs have been adopted into the realm of machine learning (ML) in the last two decades because of their superior prediction abilities, especially in data-sparse scenarios, and their inherent ability to provide robust uncertainty estimates. Even so, their performance highly depends on intricate customizations of the core methodology, which often leads to dissatisfaction among practitioners when standard setups and off-the-shelf software tools are being deployed. Arguably, the most important building block of a GP is the kernel function, which assumes the role of a covariance operator. Stationary kernels of the Matérn class are used in the vast majority of applied studies; poor prediction performance and unrealistic uncertainty quantification are often the consequences. Non-stationary kernels show improved performance but are rarely used due to their more complicated functional form and the associated effort and expertise needed to define and tune them optimally. In this perspective, we want to help ML practitioners make sense of some of the most common forms of non-stationarity for Gaussian processes. We show a variety of kernels in action using representative datasets, carefully study their properties, and compare their performances. Based on our findings, we propose a new kernel that combines some of the identified advantages of existing kernels.

We optimize the jet mixing using large eddy simulations (LES) at a Reynolds number of $3000$. Key methodological enablers consist of Bayesian optimization, a surrogate model enhanced by deep learning, and persistent data topology for physical interpretation. The mixing performance is characterized by an equivalent jet radius ($R_{\rm eq}$) derived from the streamwise velocity in a plane located $8$ diameters downstream. The optimization is performed in a 22-dimensional actuation space that comprises most known excitations. The plant benefits from a 22-dimensional actuation space that comprises most known excitations. This search space parameterizes distributed actuation imposed on the bulk flow and at the periphery of the nozzle in the streamwise and radial directions. The momentum flux measures the energy input of the actuation. The optimization quadruples the jet radius $R_{\rm eq}$ with a $7$-armed blooming jet after around $570$ evaluations. The control input requires $2\%$ momentum flux of the main flow, which is one order of magnitude lower than an ad hoc dual-mode excitation. Intriguingly, a pronounced suboptimum in the search space is associated with a double-helix jet, a new flow pattern. This jet pattern results in a mixing improvement comparable to the blooming jet. A state-of-the-art Bayesian optimization converges towards this double helix solution. The learning is accelerated and converges to another better optimum by including surrogate model trained along the optimization. Persistent data topology extracts the global and many local minima in the actuation space. These minima can be identified with flow patterns beneficial to the mixing., Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
In this study, we propose a novel data-driven reduced-order model for complex dynamics, including nonlinear, multi-attractor, multi-frequency, and multiscale behaviours. The starting point is a fully automatable cluster-based network model (CNM) (Li et al. J. Fluid Mech. vol.906, 2021, A21) which kinematically coarse-grains the state with clusters and dynamically predicts the transitions in a network model. In the proposed dynamics-augmented CNM (dCNM), the prediction error is reduced with trajectory-based clustering using the same number of centroids. The dCNM is first exemplified for the Lorenz system and then implemented for the three-dimensional sphere wake featuring periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic flow regimes. For both plants, the dCNM significantly outperforms the CNM in resolving the multi-frequency and multiscale dynamics. This increased prediction accuracy is obtained by stratification of the state space aligned with the direction of the trajectories. Thus, the dCNM has numerous potential applications to a large spectrum of shear flows, even for complex dynamics.

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
As one of the most intriguing wake patterns of two side-by-side circular cylinders at an intermediate gap spacing, the flip-flopping (FF) flow has attracted great attention of fundamental research interest. This FF flow is featured by the intermittently and randomly switching gap flow with correspondingly changing forces of the two cylinders. In this paper, we first present a partition map of the wake patterns behind two side-by-side circular cylinders and briefly introduce intrinsic features of each flow pattern. We focus on the FF flow aiming to explain: (i) the origin of the FF flow between laminar and turbulent regimes, (ii) their connections in different flow regimes, and (iii) mechanisms of the significantly varying flip-over time scale of the FF flows. In the laminar regime, we further divide the FF flow into the sub-classed I (FF1) and II (FF2), based on their different origins from the in-phase and anti-phase synchronized vortex shedding instabilities, respectively. By exploring the vortex interactions, we show that the FF flow in the turbulent regime has the same origin and similar vortex dynamics as the FF2 wake in the laminar regime, despite some minor disparities. Thus, a connection is established between the FF2 pattern in the laminar flow and the FF pattern in the turbulent flow. For the FF flow in the laminar regime (Re < 150-200), the mildly decreasing switching time, is several vortex shedding periods. However, for the FF flow in the weak turbulence regime (150-200 < Re < 1000-1700), the switching time scale increases significantly with Re owing to the increased vortex formation length. The FF in the strong turbulence regime (Re > 1000-1700) has a switching time scale of several orders of magnitude longer than the vortex shedding period, where the switching scale decreases gradually with Re due to the stronger Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices.

Experimental assessment of safe and precise flight control algorithms for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under gusty wind conditions requires the capability to generate a large range of velocity profiles. In this study, we employ a small fan array wind generator which can generate flows with large spatial and temporal variability. We perform a thorough aerodynamic characterization operating the fans uniformly from a low to the maximum level. PIV and hot-wire measurements indicate a jet-like flow with nearly uniform core which monotonously contracts in streamwise direction and surrounding growing unsteady shear-layers. These complex dynamics results in a limited region with desired flow profile and turbulence level. The experimental results shed light on the flow generated by a full-scale fan array wind generator, and indicate the need for further improvements via properly designed add-ons and dedicated control algorithms., Comment: 22 pages

We study the econometric properties of so-called donut regression discontinuity (RD) designs, a robustness exercise which involves repeating estimation and inference without the data points in some area around the treatment threshold. This approach is often motivated by concerns that possible systematic sorting of units, or similar data issues, in some neighborhood of the treatment threshold might distort estimation and inference of RD treatment effects. We show that donut RD estimators can have substantially larger bias and variance than contentional RD estimators, and that the corresponding confidence intervals can be substantially longer. We also provide a formal testing framework for comparing donut and conventional RD estimation results.

Abstract Background This study focused on Ukrainian refugees and migrants, a population that, with an ongoing war, is expected to grow in Germany. Over 1 million Ukrainians with exceptional legal status and access to public insurance in Germany significantly burden governmental services, especially German healthcare. It is thus essential to facilitate their integration into the healthcare system and ensure its proper usage. Identifying the obstacles Ukrainian refugees and migrants encounter while accessing healthcare services is crucial to ease their integration. Methods A qualitative study was conducted from February 2023 to April 2023. Thirty semi-structured interviews were performed with Ukrainian migrants and refugees. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, organized, and categorized. Thematic analysis was performed to identify barriers related to the use of German healthcare services. To assess possible differences in the experiences of Ukrainian refugees and migrants, the responses of these two groups for each topic were analysed separately. Results Ukrainian migrants and refugees experience similar barriers while accessing German healthcare services. Predominantly, language barriers and a lack of understanding of the German healthcare system posed the main barriers in both groups. Additionally, structural challenges, such as differences in referral processes, appointment scheduling, and consultation duration, presented further challenges. Conclusion This research study emphasizes the importance of addressing cultural and structural barriers to improve healthcare accessibility and utilization for Ukrainian refugees and migrants in Germany to better facilitate their integration into the healthcare system.

Computer Science - Robotics ,Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence - Abstract
A key challenge in Bayesian decentralized data fusion is the `rumor propagation' or `double counting' phenomenon, where previously sent data circulates back to its sender. It is often addressed by approximate methods like covariance intersection (CI) which takes a weighted average of the estimates to compute the bound. The problem is that this bound is not tight, i.e. the estimate is often over-conservative. In this paper, we show that by exploiting the probabilistic independence structure in multi-agent decentralized fusion problems a tighter bound can be found using (i) an expansion to the CI algorithm that uses multiple (non-monolithic) weighting factors instead of one (monolithic) factor in the original CI and (ii) a general optimization scheme that is able to compute optimal bounds and fully exploit an arbitrary dependency structure. We compare our methods and show that on a simple problem, they converge to the same solution. We then test our new non-monolithic CI algorithm on a large-scale target tracking simulation and show that it achieves a tighter bound and a more accurate estimate compared to the original monolithic CI., Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. presented at the Inference and Decision Making for Autonomous Vehicles (IDMAV) RSS 2023 workshop

Computer Science - Machine Learning ,Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
This study proposes a self-learning algorithm for closed-loop cylinder wake control targeting lower drag and lower lift fluctuations with the additional challenge of sparse sensor information, taking deep reinforcement learning as the starting point. DRL performance is significantly improved by lifting the sensor signals to dynamic features (DF), which predict future flow states. The resulting dynamic feature-based DRL (DF-DRL) automatically learns a feedback control in the plant without a dynamic model. Results show that the drag coefficient of the DF-DRL model is 25% less than the vanilla model based on direct sensor feedback. More importantly, using only one surface pressure sensor, DF-DRL can reduce the drag coefficient to a state-of-the-art performance of about 8% at Re = 100 and significantly mitigate lift coefficient fluctuations. Hence, DF-DRL allows the deployment of sparse sensing of the flow without degrading the control performance. This method also shows good robustness in controlling flow under higher Reynolds numbers, which reduces the drag coefficient by 32.2% and 46.55% at Re = 500 and 1000, respectively, indicating the broad applicability of the method. Since surface pressure information is more straightforward to measure in realistic scenarios than flow velocity information, this study provides a valuable reference for experimentally designing the active flow control of a circular cylinder based on wall pressure signals, which is an essential step toward further developing intelligent control in realistic multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system.

Using the graph-theoretical ZX-calculus, we describe and apply a general scheme for reformulating quantum circuits as MBQC implementations. After illustrating the method using the two-qubit Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, we derive a ZX graph-diagram that encodes a general MBQC implementation for the three-qubit Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm. This graph describes an 11-qubit cluster state on which single-qubit measurements are used to execute the algorithm. Particular sets of choices of the axes for the measurements can be used to implement any realization of the oracle. In addition, we derive an equivalent lattice cluster state for the algorithm.

During the past decade, Deep Learning (DL) algorithms, programming systems and hardware have converged with the High Performance Computing (HPC) counterparts. Nevertheless, the programming methodology of DL and HPC systems is stagnant, relying on highly-optimized, yet platform-specific and inflexible vendor-optimized libraries. Such libraries provide close-to-peak performance on specific platforms, kernels and shapes thereof that vendors have dedicated optimizations efforts, while they underperform in the remaining use-cases, yielding non-portable codes with performance glass-jaws. This work introduces a framework to develop efficient, portable DL and HPC kernels for modern CPU architectures. We decompose the kernel development in two steps: 1) Expressing the computational core using Tensor Processing Primitives (TPPs): a compact, versatile set of 2D-tensor operators, 2) Expressing the logical loops around TPPs in a high-level, declarative fashion whereas the exact instantiation (ordering, tiling, parallelization) is determined via simple knobs. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach using standalone kernels and end-to-end workloads that outperform state-of-the-art implementations on diverse CPU platforms.

Active comets have been detected in several exoplanetary systems, although so far only indirectly, when the dust or gas in the extended coma has transited in front of the stellar disk. The large optical surface and relatively high temperature of an active cometary coma also makes it suitable to study with direct imaging, but the angular separation is generally too small to be reachable with present-day facilities. However, future imaging facilities with the ability to detect terrestrial planets in the habitable zones of nearby systems will also be sensitive to exocomets in such systems. Here we examine several aspects of exocomet imaging, particularly in the context of the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets (LIFE), which is a proposed space mission for infrared imaging and spectroscopy through nulling interferometry. We study what capabilities LIFE would have for acquiring imaging and spectroscopy of exocomets, based on simulations of the LIFE performance as well as statistical properties of exocomets that have recently been deduced from transit surveys. We find that for systems with extreme cometary activities such as beta Pictoris, sufficiently bright comets may be so abundant that they overcrowd the LIFE inner field of view. More nearby and moderately active systems such as epsilon Eridani or Fomalhaut may turn out to be optimal targets. If the exocomets have strong silicate emission features, such as in comet Hale-Bopp, it may become possible to study the mineralogy of individual exocometary bodies. We also discuss the possibility of exocomets as false positives for planets, with recent deep imaging of alpha Centauri as one hypothetical example. Such contaminants could be common, primarily among young debris disk stars, but should be rare among the main sequence population. We discuss strategies to mitigate the risk of any such false positives., Comment: 17 pages, 11 figures, accepted for publication in A&A

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
We develop and apply a novel shape optimization exemplified for a two-blade rotor with respect to the figure of merit ($FM$). This topologically assisted optimization (TAO) contains two steps. First a global evolutionary optimization is performed for the shape parameters and then a topological analysis reveals the local and global extrema of the objective function directly from the data. This non-dimensional objective function compares the achieved thrust with the required torque. Rotor blades have a decisive contribution to the performance of quadcopters. A two-blade rotor with pre-defined chord length distribution is chosen as the baseline model.The simulation is performed in a moving reference frame with a $k-\omega$ turbulence model for the hovering condition.The rotor shape is parameterized by the twist angle distribution.The optimization of this distribution employs a genetic algorithm. The local maxima are distilled from the data using a novel topological analysis inspired by discrete scalar-field topology. We identify one global maximum to be located in the interior of the data and five further local maxima related to errors from non-converged simulations.The interior location of the global optimum suggests that small improvements can be gained from further optimization.The local maxima have a small persistence, i.e., disappear under a small $\varepsilon$ perturbation of the figure of merit values. In other words, the data may be approximated by a smooth mono-modal surrogate model. Thus, the topological data analysis provides valuable insights for optimization and surrogate modeling., Comment: 13 pages,21 figures

Condensed Matter - Strongly Correlated Electrons - Abstract
We adapt and optimize the projected-pair-entangled-state (PEPS) algorithm on finite lattices (fPEPS) for two-dimensional Hubbard models and apply the algorithm to the Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor hopping on a square lattice. In particular, we formulate the PEPS algorithm using projected entangled pair operators, incorporate SU(2) symmetry in all tensor indices, and optimize the PEPS using both iterative-diagonalization-based local bond optimization and gradient-based optimization of the PEPS. We discuss the performance and convergence of the algorithm for the Hubbard model on lattice sizes of up to 8x8 for PEPS states with U(1) symmetric bond dimensions of up to D = 8 and SU(2) symmetric bond dimensions of up to D = 6. Finally, we comment on the relative and overall efficiency of schemes for optimizing fPEPS.
