All-in-One Memory: Process-Rewarded Reinforcement Learning for Memory Agents

Large language models increasingly rely on external memory to answer queries grounded in long-horizon histories such as multi-session dialogues and lengthy documents. However, existing memory methods often optimize retrieval and memory construction separately, without a shared reward space for evaluating search, writing, and stopping decisions. To address this, we propose All-in-One Memory (AiO-Mem), which organizes these operations as transitions over a shared evidence state and directly evaluates the semantic quality of each action in a unified reward space. AiO-Mem compiles heterogeneous histories into source-traceable multi-view events, providing a shared substrate for retrieval and memory writing. A unified memory policy actor then rolls out complete interaction trajectories over this shared evidence state. A separate trajectory-conditioned process reward model is trained through evidence-grounded supervised fine-tuning and trajectory-level DPO to assign process scores to the collected trajectories. These scores are aggregated into an action-balanced trajectory reward and used by Process-Aligned DAPO (PA-DAPO) to optimize the memory policy. Across long-context memory benchmarks, AiO-Mem consistently improves answer accuracy over both static memory systems and RL-trained memory agents.

ProV-Mem: Proactive Memory for Streaming Video Question Answering

Proactive streaming video question answering requires a model to continuously monitor an incoming stream and autonomously decide when to speak, what to say, and whether to emit a response. Existing streaming systems face a fundamental difficulty: retaining long visual histories is costly, whereas discarding them can lead to missed events and repeated responses. We propose \textbf{ProV-Mem}, a training-free proactive memory framework built around a frozen VLM backbone. ProV-Mem decomposes the proactive decision into three lightweight memory tiers: a temporal-trigger memory controls when to query the backbone and recovers from prolonged silence, an instructional memory guides what to say through a fixed prompting prior for concise and visually grounded generation, and an episodic memory determines whether to emit by filtering near-duplicate responses. Under an idealized conditional-sufficiency assumption, we derive a stagewise approximation bound relating the decomposed process to a full-state joint policy. We further introduce Cost-Aware Area Under the Curve (\textbf{CAUC}), which extends PAUC by explicitly discounting redundant, overly frequent, and unnecessarily long emissions. Experiments on the four scenarios of ProactiveVideoQA show that ProV-Mem achieves the best CAUC across all scenarios and the best PAUC on WEB, EGO, and TV, while maintaining low per-response inference latency.

Interpretation of chirality imprinted on photoelectron momentum spectra by three-dimensional light fields

Synthetic three-dimensional (3D) light fields provide a new route to imprinting chirality on achiral matter through light--matter interaction. Although previous work has numerically demonstrated that chirality can be imprinted on the photoelectron momentum spectrum of atoms, a transparent analytical physical picture that links the structure of the driving field to the chirality of the spectrum is still an open question. Here, using frequency-domain theory based on nonperturbative quantum electrodynamics (QED), we demonstrate that this chirality originates from coherence between adjacent quantum transition channels. We further find that a symmetry transformation introduces into the coherence term a symmetry-breaking phase shift ($Φ_{\mathrm{SBPS}}$), which can be tuned by varying the laser-field parameters to preserve or break the corresponding symmetry in the spectrum. Once all such symmetries are broken, the momentum spectrum becomes chiral. In particular, for the noncollinear two-color 3D light field considered here, the spectrum is chiral for even $f=ω_2/ω_1$ and achiral for odd $f$. Our results provide a microscopic interpretation of chirality imprinting and establish a framework for predicting and controlling chiral electron wave packets with synthetic 3D light fields.

Non-Hermitian Cooperation Induced Chern Insulator

Conventional Chern insulators rely on breaking time-reversal symmetry via magnetic fields or synthetic gauge fields. Here we introduce a fundamentally different paradigm: a static lattice without any gauge field becomes a Chern insulator solely through the cooperation of two non-Hermitian ingredients: on-site loss and non-reciprocal coupling. Neither effect alone suffices; only their synergy opens a topological gap and gives rise to robust chiral edge states with a nonzero Chern number. The underlying mechanism originates from a non-Hermitian chiral molecule formed by the lossy sites, whose dynamically dominant mode carries an orbital angular momentum that effectively generates a synthetic flux after the fast-decaying degrees of freedom are eliminated. Our results establish non-Hermitian cooperation as a versatile resource for inducing Chern topology without external fields or temporal modulations, opening a new route to topological phases in open classical and quantum systems.

Ask Now, Use Later: Benchmarking the Proactivity Gap in Long-Lived LLM Agents

A long-lived LLM agent, such as OpenClaw, earns its value by acting on a user's preferences and constraints across sessions, not just the current request. Yet today's agents keep what a user volunteers but rarely ask for what stays unspoken, leaving a proactivity gap in long-lived LLM agents: an agent cannot act on a preference it never obtained. As users delegate more of their affairs to agents, the impact of this gap grows. We isolate one concrete, controllable slice of this gap as Ask-to-Remember (ATR): the agent decides whether to ask now for a reusable user preference that the current task does not need but a later session with the same user will. ATR is hard even to evaluate: the right question is underdetermined and its payoff deferred to tasks that may never arise. ATRBench, to the best of our knowledge the first ATR benchmark, makes it measurable by fixing each user's preferences as hidden ground truth, so success demands asking, not recall. Across eight frontier LLM agents, defaults fall at least 62 points below an oracle handed the relevant preference, and prompting closes little of it. Diagnostics identify acquisition as the bottleneck. ATRBench surfaces this proactivity gap in current agents and offers a diagnostic testbed for closing it.

Realization of Arbitrary Gauge Fields via Symmetry-Protected Zero Modes

Gauge fields are fundamental to modern physics, but prescribed gauge configurations are often difficult to implement in artificial systems. Here, we present a general scheme for realizing arbitrary static $\mathrm{O}(N)$ lattice gauge configurations using symmetry-protected zero modes of sublattice-imbalanced bipartite units. The target $\mathrm{O}(N)$ link on each bond is encoded in the connectivity and strengths of positive microscopic couplings. By decoupling the zero-mode manifold from the remaining modes, the target gauge Hamiltonian forms an exact spectral block of the microscopic tight-binding model rather than a perturbative approximation. We experimentally demonstrate this framework in acoustic crystals through a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ quadrupole topological insulator, an $\mathrm{SO}(2)$ Hofstadter model, and an $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ non-Abelian topological insulator. Our results provide a general and accessible route to gauge-field physics in artificial systems.

RadioMaster: Multi-Agent System for Autonomous Radio Signal Generation

Translating user intent into physical radio signals is the last critical step in wireless prototyping. It chains protocol planning, baseband synthesis, and hardware configuration. Large language models and multi-agent systems have reshaped software engineering, raising the question of whether they can solve this problem. Yet current models fail at this task, even when augmented with domain tools. Because the stages run sequentially, an error at any stage propagates downstream, so the end-to-end success rate collapses toward zero even when each stage looks locally competent. We introduce RadioMaster, a fully autonomous multi-agent framework that drives user input to verified emissions transmitted over the air. It rests on three synergistic pillars. RadioWiki grounds generation in domain knowledge to suppress hallucination. RadioAgent decomposes the fragile pipeline into independently executable and locally recoverable stages. RadioEmulator gates deployment behind closed-loop physical-layer verification. We further build RadioBench, the first benchmark for autonomous radio signal generation. Extensive real-world evaluations show that RadioMaster substantially outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in configuration viability and signal fidelity, while reducing configuration time by up to 28x.

Universal valley filtering via uniform dissipation and velocity contrast

Valley, as a ubiquitous degree of freedom in lattices, has found wide applications in both electronic and classical-wave devices in recent years. However, achieving valley-polarized states, a prerequisite for valley-based operations, still remains challenging. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a universal non-Hermitian mechanism for valley filtering using only uniform background dissipation, which creates a propagation length contrast between valleys through their intrinsic group velocity differences. We implement this concept in an acoustic crystal, observing switchable and robust valley polarization of sound through large-scale field mapping. Remarkably, our approach is solely based on uniform loss, without the need for any special lattice structures, tailored excitations, or external fields. We further provide designs of our non-Hermitian valley filter on photonic and electronic platforms. Our results offer a simple and effective solution to valley-polarized state generation and may advance the development of novel valley-based devices in both classical and quantum regimes.

Observation of localization reversal and harmonic generation in nonlinear non-Hermitian skin effect

The interplay between band topology and material nonlinearity gives rise to a variety of novel phenomena, such as topological solitons and nonlinearity-induced topological phase transitions. However, most previous studies fall within the Hermitian regime, leaving the impact of nonlinearity on non-Hermitian topology seldom explored. Here, we investigate the effects of nonlinearity on the non-Hermitian skin effect, a well-known non-Hermitian phenomenon induced by the point-gap topology unique to non-Hermitian systems. Interestingly, we discover a nonlinearity-induced point-gap topological phase transition accompanied by a reversal of the skin mode localization, which is distinct from previous nonlinearity-induced line-gap topological phases. This phenomenon is experimentally demonstrated in a nonlinear microwave metamaterial, where electromagnetic waves are localized around one end of the sample under a low-intensity pump, whereas at a high-intensity pump, the waves are localized around the other end. Our results open a new route towards nonlinear topological physics in non-Hermitian systems and are promising for reconfigurable topological wave manipulation.

Topological antilaser

Coherent perfect absorption (CPA)-the time-reversed operation of lasing at threshold-relies on finely tuned interference and is intrinsically fragile to disorder and structural imperfections. Whether absorption can be endowed with topological protection, by analogy to topological lasing, has remained an open question. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a topological antilaser: the time-reversed counterpart of a topological laser, in which chiral edge modes of a photonic lattice enable perfect light absorption protected by topology. Using a nonreciprocal microwave network with low intrinsic loss, we show that the topological antilaser preserves near-unity absorption under strong disorder, and, unlike conventional antilasers, remains functional for arbitrary placements of dissipation and input ports, even when the lattice is strongly perturbed. This robustness arises from the disorder-immune propagation and stable spatial profile of the topological edge modes. Our results establish topologically protected absorption as the missing counterpart of topological lasing, opening new directions for studying robust energy dissipation, wave control, and coherent-absorption-based detection technologies.

Connecting the Dots: Benchmarking Reflective Memory in Long-Horizon Dialogue

Despite substantial progress in long-context modeling, existing benchmarks remain confined to factual memory for explicit recall, failing to measure the reflective memory required to synthesize fragmented, multimodal cues into high-level interpretations. To address this gap, we introduce RefMem-Bench, a benchmark for reflective memory in long-horizon dialogue. RefMem-Bench contains 26K annotated QA instances with eight reflective-memory dimensions and three task formats, requiring models to move beyond surface-level retrieval and infer latent meanings from evidence distributed across interaction histories. To enhance reflective memory capability, we propose REflective Memory INDuction (REMIND), a hierarchical framework that treats reflective memory as progressive meaning construction. REMIND couples question-conditioned evidence retrieval, salience-aware grounding, and abstraction-level supervision, and uses Progressive Reflective Alignment to distill high-level reflective reasoning into the factual inference pathway. Experiments show RefMem-Bench poses a substantial challenge to current models, while REMIND consistently improves both answer accuracy and memory recall through progressive evidence perception, grounding, and abstraction.

Mitigating Provenance-Role Collapse in Long-Term Agents via Typed Memory Representation

Long-term memory is essential for persistent LLM agents, yet prevailing architectures store historical interactions as unstructured, flat text. This unconstrained storage induces provenance-role collapse, a critical failure mode where agents suffer from source-monitoring errors. To resolve this cognitive vulnerability at the architectural level, we propose MemIR, a typed Memory Intermediate Representation that operationalizes source monitoring as a structural constraint. MemIR writes long-term memory into grounded atoms that separate raw evidence, retrieval cues, and truth-bearing claims, with factual authorization restricted to supported claim atoms. It then applies multi-route atomic projection and provenance-scoped utilization to transform heterogeneous retrieval hits into claim-centered candidate bundles and a normalized fact interface for answer generation. Experiments on LoCoMo and BEAM-100K demonstrate that MemIR consistently outperforms existing memory baselines, especially on tasks requiring source tracking, temporal grounding, and aggregation of fragmented evidence.

Enabling Agile Ambient IoT Networking via a Parameterized Hybrid Radio

The emergence of Ambient IoT signals a paradigm shift toward massive batteryless networking. However, the absence of an agile physical layer substrate remains a fundamental barrier to research and standardization. Current testbeds are hindered by decoupled radio paths, high static power, and cumbersome control methods, which stifle rapid protocol prototyping. In this paper, we present Janus, the first hybrid active-passive configurable radio architected for agile Ambient IoT networking. Janus introduces a parameterized architecture that unifies passive and active transmission into a single RF front end, abstracting complex physical layer behaviors into concise parameters. This design enables a system-level control plane for dynamic mode transitions and an energy management plane for fine-grained harvesting across multiple sources. We implement a compact PCB prototype and evaluate its performance across diverse protocol landscapes, including 3GPP A-IoT, IEEE 802.11 AMP, and Bluetooth SIG. Our experimental results demonstrate that Janus achieves communication performance on par with dedicated radios while significantly reducing configuration overhead. Ultimately, Janus serves as a versatile enabler for validating emerging protocols and accelerating the standardization of next-generation low-power networks.

Proactive Memory for Ad-Hoc Recall over Streaming Dialogues

Real-world dialogue usually unfolds as an infinite stream. It thus requires bounded-state memory mechanisms to operate within an infinite horizon. However, existing read-then-think memory is fundamentally misaligned with this setting, as it cannot support ad-hoc memory recall while streams unfold. To explore this challenge, we introduce \textbf{STEM-Bench}, the first benchmark for \textbf{ST}reaming \textbf{E}valuation of \textbf{M}emory. It comprises over 14K QA pairs in dialogue streams that assess perception fidelity, temporal reasoning, and global awareness under infinite-horizon constraints. The preliminary analysis on STEM-Bench indicates a critical textit{fidelity-efficiency dilemma}: retrieval-based methods use fragment context, while full-context models incur unbounded latency. To resolve this, we propose \textbf{ProStream}, a proactive memory framework for streaming dialogues built on a hierarchical structure. It enables ad-hoc memory recall on demand by reasoning over continuous streams with multi-granular distillation. Moreover, it employs Adaptive Spatiotemporal Optimization to dynamically optimize retention based on expected utility. It enables a bounded knowledge state for lower inference latency without sacrificing reasoning fidelity. Experiments show ProStream delivers higher reasoning fidelity than prior baselines while maintaining substantially lower latency than full-context alternatives.

Pressure-Tunable Generalized Wigner Crystal and Fractional Chern Insulator in twisted MoTe$_2$

Due to the forming of low-energy flat bands, the moiré superlattices of the transition metal dichalcogenides are fascinating platforms for studying novel correlated states when such flat bands are fractionally filled, with the Coulomb interaction dominating. Here, we demonstrate that pressure can efficiently tune the flatness and quantum geometry of the single-particle bands in twisted bilayer MoTe$_2$ ($\textit{t}$MoTe$_2$). By fractionally filling the topmost valence band, we find that pressure can act as a flexible means to modulate the fractional Chern insulator (FCI) and the generalized Wigner crystal (GWC) and control their many-body topological phase transitions. Moreover, our results indicate a remarkable correspondence between the single-particle band geometry and the formation of FCI and GWC. As the recent experiments report the presence of FCI phases in $\textit{t}$MoTe$_2$, our predictions could be readily implemented experimentally.

PRISM of Opinions: A Persona-Reasoned Multimodal Framework for User-centric Conversational Stance Detection

The rapid proliferation of multimodal social media content has driven research in Multimodal Conversational Stance Detection (MCSD), which aims to interpret users' attitudes toward specific targets within complex discussions. However, existing studies remain limited by: **1) pseudo-multimodality**, where visual cues appear only in source posts while comments are treated as text-only, misaligning with real-world multimodal interactions; and **2) user homogeneity**, where diverse users are treated uniformly, neglecting personal traits that shape stance expression. To address these issues, we introduce **U-MStance**, the first user-centric MCSD dataset, containing over 40k annotated comments across six real-world targets. We further propose **PRISM**, a **P**ersona-**R**easoned mult**I**modal **S**tance **M**odel for MCSD. PRISM first derives longitudinal user personas from historical posts and comments to capture individual traits, then aligns textual and visual cues within conversational context via Chain-of-Thought to bridge semantic and pragmatic gaps across modalities. Finally, a mutual task reinforcement mechanism is employed to jointly optimize stance detection and stance-aware response generation for bidirectional knowledge transfer. Experiments on U-MStance demonstrate that PRISM yields significant gains over strong baselines, underscoring the effectiveness of user-centric and context-grounded multimodal reasoning for realistic stance understanding.

Spontaneous Fully Compensated Ferrimagnetism

We propose a general mechanism for the spontaneous emergence of filling-enforced fully compensated ferrimagnetism (fFIM), characterized by zero net magnetization yet ferromagnetic-like spin-split band structures. Using Hartree-Fock mean-field calculations of the Hubbard model, we map out the stability regime of spontaneous fFIM over a broad parameter space of interaction strength and staggered potential. We show the unique quantum-geometry-governed optical selection rules and the abundant valley- and spin-related physics of electronics and optics arising from the emergence of fFIM order, with tunable spin-polarized and valley-contrasting charge and spin currents. Furthermore, based on our theory, we demonstrate that spontaneous fFIM can be realized in nominally nonmagnetic graphene via defect engineering. Our results establish a unified framework for the mechanism, emergent properties, and materials realization of spontaneous fFIM, opening new opportunities for spintronic, valleytronic, and optoelectronic applications.

SynergyKGC: Reconciling Topological Heterogeneity in Knowledge Graph Completion via Topology-Aware Synergy

Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) fundamentally hinges on the coherent fusion of pre-trained entity semantics with heterogeneous topological structures to facilitate robust relational reasoning. However, existing paradigms encounter a critical "structural resolution mismatch," failing to reconcile divergent representational demands across varying graph densities, which precipitates structural noise interference in dense clusters and catastrophic representation collapse in sparse regions. We present SynergyKGC, an adaptive framework that advances traditional neighbor aggregation to an active Cross-Modal Synergy Expert via relation-aware cross-attention and semantic-intent-driven gating. By coupling a density-dependent Identity Anchoring strategy with a Double-tower Coherent Consistency architecture, SynergyKGC effectively reconciles topological heterogeneity while ensuring representational stability across training and inference phases. Systematic evaluations on two public benchmarks validate the superiority of our method in significantly boosting KGC hit rates, providing empirical evidence for a generalized principle of resilient information integration in non-homogeneous structured data.
