Geometric Approach to Zero-Memory Quantum Dot Reservoir Computing

Physical reservoir computing offers an energy-efficient alternative to conventional neural networks, where the material-specific intrinsic memory capacity in a physical system plays an indispensable role. Substituting temporal memory with spatial degrees of freedom, we demonstrate that the memory capacity can be created extrinsically in systems with no intrinsic memory by exploiting the computational space-time tradeoff. Our approach utilizes multidimensional input nodes to function as a spatial memory axis, thereby replacing the dependency on intrinsic history-dependent dynamics in the reservoir. Our scheme is validated in a multi-terminal quantum dot system, whose discrete energy levels provide strong nonlinearity and complexity crucial for reservoir computing, while its short relaxation time leaves no room for intrinsic memory. Numerically, the quantum dot reservoir with a tunable extrinsic memory shows high performance on both chaotic future prediction and nonlinear transformation tasks. Furthermore, from the analysis of quantum state trajectory acquired from task operations, the geometric understanding of the extrinsic memory capacity, nonlinearity, and complexity is provided and their correlations are systematically investigated.

RRRA: Resampling and Reranking through a Retriever Adapter

In dense retrieval, effective training hinges on selecting high quality hard negatives while avoiding false negatives. Recent methods apply heuristics based on positive document scores to identify hard negatives, improving both performance and interpretability. However, these global, example agnostic strategies often miss instance specific false negatives. To address this, we propose a learnable adapter module that monitors Bi-Encoder representations to estimate the likelihood that a hard negative is actually a false negative. This probability is modeled dynamically and contextually, enabling fine-grained, query specific judgments. The predicted scores are used in two downstream components: (1) resampling, where negatives are reweighted during training, and (2) reranking, where top-k retrieved documents are reordered at inference. Empirical results on standard benchmarks show that our adapter-enhanced framework consistently outperforms strong Bi-Encoder baselines, underscoring the benefit of explicit false negative modeling in dense retrieval.

Eigenmodes of a quartz tuning fork and their application to photo-induced force microscopy

We examine the mechanical eigenmodes of a quartz tuning fork (QTF) for the purpose of facilitat- ing its use as a probe for multi-frequency atomic force microscopy (AFM). We perform simulations based on the three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) and compare the observed motions of the beams with experimentally measured resonance frequencies of two QTF systems. The com- parison enabled us to assign the first seven asymmetric eigenmodes of the QTF. We also find that a modified version of single beam theory can be used to guide the assignment of mechanical eigen- modes of QTFs. The usefulness of the QTF for multi-frequency AFM measurements is demonstrated through photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) measurements. By using the QTF in different con- figurations, we show that the vectorial components of the photo-induced force can be independently assessed, and that lateral forces can be probed in true non-contact mode.
