CoGeo-GS: Concept-Driven and Geometry-Aware Multi-Object Removal in 3D Scenes

Multi-object removal in 3D scenes is challenging due to severe occlusions, semantic entanglement, and the difficulty of maintaining geometric and multi-view consistency. Existing 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) methods perform well for single-object editing but scale poorly to multi-object scenarios, often requiring repetitive optimization and yielding unstable geometry in removed regions. We propose CoGeo-GS, a concept-driven framework for controllable multi-object removal in 3D scenes. CoGeo-GS assigns concept-aware semantic tags to Gaussians, enabling flexible object selection and reducing interference between foreground objects and background structures within a single optimization stage. To recover plausible geometry, we introduce a geometry-aware completion pipeline that combines monocular depth priors with diffusion-based refinement and boundary-aligned blending. A geometry-regularized refinement strategy further stabilizes reconstruction and preserves multi-view consistency. Experiments demonstrate that CoGeo-GS outperforms existing methods in visual quality and reconstruction fidelity.

Semantic-Guided Progressive Object Removal with Gaussian Splatting

Removing unwanted objects from reconstructed 3D scenes is an important task in computer vision, supporting applications in AR/VR, robotics, and digital content creation. Existing methods typically complete the entire masked region in a single step and without effectively utilizing semantic information from other views, leading to difficulties in handling complex geometric details and textures. In this work, we propose a novel framework that integrates Semantic-guided Block Matching (SBM) and Region-Wise Progressive Refinement (RPR) for high-quality 3D object removal. First, we leverage DINOv2 to encode semantic guidance from multi-view observations, and the best match tokens are decoded to complete missing regions in the target view while maintaining cross-view consistency. Second, we introduce a RPR strategy that segments the target mask into multiple subregions and selectively refines those with poor visual quality. Our method is built upon Gaussian Splatting, ensuring high-fidelity scene reconstruction with efficient computation. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing Gaussian-based methods in terms of perceptual quality and coherence in 3D object removal.

Single femtosecond laser pulse-driven ferromagnetic switching

Light pulses offer a faster, more energy-efficient, and direct route to magnetic bit writing, pointing toward a hybrid memory and computing paradigm based on photon transmission and spin retention. Yet progress remains hindered, as deterministic, single-pulse optical toggle switching has so far been achieved only with ferrimagnetic materials, which require too specific a rare-earth composition and temperature conditions for technological use. In mainstream ferromagnet--central to spintronic memory and storage--such bistable switching is considered fundamentally difficult, as laser-induced heating does not inherently break time-reversal symmetry. Here, we report coherent magnetization switching in ferromagnets, driven by thermal anisotropy torque with single laser pulses. The toggle switching behavior is robust over a broad range of pulse durations, from femtoseconds to picoseconds, a prerequisite for practical applications. Furthermore, the phenomenon exhibits reproducibility in CoFeB/MgO-based magnetic tunnel junctions with a high magnetoresistance exceeding 110%, as well as the scalability down to nanoscales with remarkable energy efficiency (17 fJ per 100-nm-sized bit). These results mark a notable step toward integrating opto-spintronics into next-generation memory and storage technologies.

Single-shot optical precessional magnetization switching of Pt/Co/Pt ferromagnetic trilayers

Ultra-fast magnetization switching triggered by a single femtosecond laser pulse has gained significant attention over the last decade for its potential in low-power consumption, high-speed memory applications. However, this phenomenon has been primarily observed in Gd-based ferrimagnetic materials, which are unsuitable for storage due to their weak perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). In this work, we demonstrated that applying a single laser pulse and an in-plane magnetic field can facilitate magnetic switching in a Pt/Co/Pt ferromagnetic trilayers stack within a specific laser power window. To further understand this phenomenon, we introduce a Cu layer to accelerates the re-establishment time of the anisotropy field of Pt/Co/Pt trilayers, which leads to bullseye-patterned magnetic switching. We have mapped state diagrams for these phenomena, and through micromagnetic simulations, we have determined that these switchings are influenced by thermal anisotropy torque, which can be modulated through PMA. These findings indicate that single-shot optical precessional magnetization reversal is feasible in a broader range of materials, opening avenues for the development of optical-magnetic memory devices.

Giant Orbital Torque-driven Picosecond Switching in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

Orbital Hall effect was recently discovered as a novel pathway for driving magnetic moment. However, the integration of orbital Hall effect in magnetic memories suffers from low orbital-to-spin conversion efficiency and incompatibility with magnetic tunnel junctions. Here we demonstrate an orbital Hall effect-driven magnetic tunnel junction based on Ru/W bilayer, where the Ru layer possesses a strong orbital Hall conductivity and the {\alpha}-W layer features an orbital-to-spin conversion efficiency exceeding 90% because of the large orbit-spin diffusivity. By harnessing the giant orbital torque, we achieve a 28.7-picosecond switching and a five to eight-fold reduction in driving voltages over conventional spin-orbit torque magnetic memories. Our work bridges the critical gap between orbital effects and magnetic memory applications, significantly advancing the field of spintronics and orbitronics.

Periodic solution for transport of intense and coupled coasting beams through quadrupole channels

Imposing defined spinning to a particle beam increases its stability against perturbations from space charge~[Y.-L.~Cheon et al., Effects of beam spinning on the fourth-order particle resonance of 3D bunched beams in high-intensity linear accelerators, Phys. Rev. Accel. \& Beams {\bf 25}, 064002 (2022)]. In order to fully explore this potential, proper matching of intense coupled beams along regular lattices is mandatory. Herein, a novel procedure assuring matched transport is described and benchmarked through simulations. The concept of matched transport along periodic lattices has been extended from uncoupled beams to those with considerable coupling between the two transverse degrees of freedom. For coupled beams, matching means extension of cell-to-cell periodicity from just transverse envelopes to the coupled beam moments and to quantities being derived from these.

Generalized Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij Distribution and Beam Matrix for Phase-Space Manipulations of High-Intensity Beams

In an uncoupled linear lattice system, the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV) distribution, formulated on the basis of the single-particle Courant-Snyder (CS) invariants, has served as a fundamental theoretical basis for the analyses of the equilibrium, stability, and transport properties of high-intensity beams for the past several decades. Recent applications of high-intensity beams, however, require beam phase-space manipulations by intentionally introducing strong coupling. In this Letter, we report the full generalization of the KV model by including all of the linear (both external and space-charge) coupling forces, beam energy variations, and arbitrary emittance partition, which all form essential elements for phase-space manipulations. The new generalized KV model yields spatially uniform density profiles and corresponding linear self-field forces as desired. The corresponding matrix envelope equations and beam matrix for the generalized KV model provide important new theoretical tools for the detailed design and analysis of high-intensity beam manipulations, for which previous theoretical models are not easily applicable.
