QMClaw: A Scalable General-purpose Framework for Quantum Measurement and Control

As quantum computing continues to scale, quantum measurement and control (QMC) are increasingly constrained by calibration workflow complexity and by requirements for low-latency execution, robust exception handling, and traceable workflow governance. Existing frameworks for QMC are specialized and task-specific, while language-model-based agents for QMC suffer from excessive latency and cannot satisfy the strict timing and control-density demands of large-scale quantum systems. Here we propose QMClaw, a general, workflow-oriented framework for QMC built, featuring a local-first, tool-governed, robust architecture. At its core is a RuleEngine-centered control layer that processes structured context, performs rule-based state transitions, and generates execution plans for typical calibration workflows. Language models are used only for natural-language interaction, high-level task understanding, and exception support, keeping the critical fast path efficient. We implement a single qubit tune-up workflow as a demonstration and validation using real quantum device dataset. We also prove that the framework achieves quantitatively acceptable levels in terms of resource cost, LLM calling times and decision latency, enabling its practical deployment in large-scale quantum qubit measurement and control scenarios. This work presents a general workflow-oriented framework for QMC and provides evidence that rule-centered architectures are a promising design choice for scalable quantum-system calibration.

Volumetric Radiology AI in the Era of Multimodal Large Language Models

Advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are extending radiological artificial intelligence (AI) beyond task-specific image analysis toward multimodal understanding and reasoning. Volumetric radiology, however, presents a fundamental representational mismatch: clinical interpretation often requires full-volume spatial context and acquisition-dependent quantitative information, whereas current MLLMs are commonly conditioned on selected two-dimensional (2D) images, compressed visual representations, or report-derived text. Reliable volumetric radiology AI therefore requires representations that preserve task-relevant three-dimensional (3D) information and systems that can access, verify, and integrate this information across clinical workflows. In this Review, we examine more than 200 publications through July 2026. We organize the literature around volumetric representation and multimodal understanding at the model level, agentic orchestration at the system level, and their links to clinical applications and evaluation. We review volumetric foundation models, language alignment and compression strategies, and agentic systems that extend MLLMs through planning, tools, memory, and workflow interaction. We distinguish settings in which selected 2D views or report-mediated reasoning may suffice from those that warrant native volumetric modeling. We also introduce a Claim-Design-Validation framework to assess whether technical, workflow, and clinical claims are matched by appropriate design and validation. Across the literature, native volumetric modeling and agentic capabilities depend on the spatial, quantitative, contextual, and workflow requirements of the intended task. Clinical credibility requires faithful volumetric representation, traceable system behavior, claim-aligned validation, and clearly defined human oversight in realistic workflows.

Raw-Curve Quantum Fingerprints: A Mahalanobis Authentication Framework with Drift Early Warning and Adversarial Detection

Quantum cloud platforms are poised to deliver powerful computing capabilities, but users have no direct means to verify which physical device executes their workload. This lack of transparency enables hardware substitution attacks, where a malicious adversary could redirect a job to a substituted or inferior processor. We present a general authentication framework that addresses this problem by constructing multi-dimensional quantum fingerprints from raw measurement data. Without any curve fitting, we directly concatenate the raw statistics of complementary experiments into a high-dimensional feature vector that preserves subtle device-specific information. A Mahalanobis nearest-neighbor classifier achieves 100\% benign authentication accuracy on three superconducting processors over a three-week chronological split. The classifier naturally yields an authentication confidence $C_{\mathrm{claimed}}$ which reveals device-specific safety margins and motivates per-device alert thresholds. We assess the framework's robustness under two distinct scenarios. Under additive isotropic Gaussian noise, $C_{\mathrm{claimed}}$ decays predictably at a rate explained by inverse covariance traces, enabling an early warning mechanism. Against white-box adversarial perturbations, the same confidence threshold detects $L_2$ targeted attacks with near-perfect success and reveals device-dependent empirical thresholds for $L_\infty$ attacks, while untargeted and sparse attacks are ineffective. The proposed framework thus unifies fingerprint extraction, drift-resilient authentication, proactive health monitoring, and adversarial defense, offering a practical step toward trustworthy quantum cloud computing.

Learning Spatially Adaptive Structural Coordination for Underwater Salient Object Detection

Underwater salient object detection (USOD) has attracted increasing attention for underwater scene understanding and vision-guided robotic applications. However, the spatially non-uniform degradation in underwater images causes spatially varying reliability of structural cues: boundary-sensitive responses can enhance object contours but are vulnerable to degradation-induced noise, whereas region-coherent responses improve semantic completeness but may blur object boundaries. Existing methods rarely explicitly consider the spatial variation in structural cue reliability under underwater image degradation. To address this problem, this work proposes SASC-USOD, a novel framework for learning spatially adaptive structural coordination in USOD. The proposed framework constructs two complementary structural representations with different characteristics. A boundary-sensitive representation is obtained by combining fixed Laplacian filtering with a learnable local-detail transformation to enhance discriminative boundary information, while a region-coherent representation is generated through dual-range anisotropic large-kernel contextual aggregation to capture long-range structural consistency. A spatial coordination module is then introduced to estimate the relative reliability of these structural representations and adaptively coordinate their contributions according to image content. Extensive experiments on the USOD10K and USOD benchmarks demonstrate that SASC-USOD consistently outperforms existing methods, reducing MAE by 4.07\% and 23.53\% compared with the strongest competing method, respectively. Moreover, its lightweight variant runs at 21 FPS on an NVIDIA Jetson TX2 NX, demonstrating its capability for onboard underwater robotic perception.

Bridging Brain and Semantics: A Hierarchical Framework for Semantically Enhanced fMRI-to-Video Reconstruction

Reconstructing dynamic visual experiences as videos from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is pivotal for advancing the understanding of neural processes. However, current fMRI-to-video reconstruction methods are hindered by a semantic gap between noisy fMRI signals and the rich content of videos, stemming from a reliance on incomplete semantic embeddings that neither capture video-specific cues (e.g., actions) nor integrate prior knowledge. To this end, we draw inspiration from the dual-pathway processing mechanism in human brain and introduce CineNeuron, a novel hierarchical framework for semantically enhanced video reconstruction from fMRI signals with two synergistic stages. First, a bottom-up semantic enrichment stage maps fMRI signals to a rich embedding space that comprehensively captures textual semantics, image contents, action concepts, and object categories. Second, a top-down memory integration stage utilizes the proposed Mixture-of-Memories method to dynamically select relevant "memories" from previously seen data and fuse them with the fMRI embedding to refine the video reconstruction. Extensive experimental results on two fMRI-to-video benchmarks demonstrate that CineNeuron surpasses state-of-the-art methods across various metrics.

Hierarchical Codec Diffusion for Video-to-Speech Generation

Video-to-Speech (VTS) generation aims to synthesize speech from a silent video without auditory signals. However, existing VTS methods disregard the hierarchical nature of speech, which spans coarse speaker-aware semantics to fine-grained prosodic details. This oversight hinders direct alignment between visual and speech features at specific hierarchical levels during property matching. In this paper, leveraging the hierarchical structure of Residual Vector Quantization (RVQ)-based codec, we propose HiCoDiT, a novel Hierarchical Codec Diffusion Transformer that exploits the inherent hierarchy of discrete speech tokens to achieve strong audio-visual alignment. Specifically, since lower-level tokens encode coarse speaker-aware semantics and higher-level tokens capture fine-grained prosody, HiCoDiT employs low-level and high-level blocks to generate tokens at different levels. The low-level blocks condition on lip-synchronized motion and facial identity to capture speaker-aware content, while the high-level blocks use facial expression to modulate prosodic dynamics. Finally, to enable more effective coarse-to-fine conditioning, we propose a dual-scale adaptive instance layer normalization that jointly captures global vocal style through channel-wise normalization and local prosody dynamics through temporal-wise normalization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HiCoDiT outperforms baselines in fidelity and expressiveness, highlighting the potential of discrete modelling for VTS. The code and speech demo are both available at https://github.com/Jiaxin-Ye/HiCoDiT.

Unified Medical Image Tokenizer for Autoregressive Synthesis and Understanding

Autoregressive modeling has driven major advances in multimodal AI, yet its application to medical imaging remains constrained by the absence of a unified image tokenizer that simultaneously preserves fine-grained anatomical structures and rich clinical semantics across heterogeneous modalities. Existing approaches jointly optimize image reconstruction and textual semantic objectives, relying on large-scale image-caption pairs and are prone to gradient interference. This is ill-suited for the medical domain where paired data are scarce and abundant unpaired images remain unexploited. This work identifies these issues in building unified medical image tokenizers, and introduces a principled two-stage training framework using visual representation as a bridge to address them. The propose visual representation alignment stage enables the utilization of large-scale unpaired medical images to ensure reconstruction fidelity and establish foundational semantics, alleviating the interference and better preparing for the second stage where fine-grained textual semantics are injected using image-text pairs. The resulting tokenizer, MedITok, is trained on over 33 million medical images spanning 9 modalities and 2 million image-text pairs. MedITok achieves state-of-the-art performance on 30+ benchmarks spanning 9 imaging modalities and 4 task families. It further enables autoregressive modeling for diagnostic and generative applications, serving as a scalable component for future multimodal models with unified synthesis and understanding capabilities in the medical domain.

UniField: A Unified Field-Aware MRI Enhancement Framework

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) field-strength enhancement holds immense value for both clinical diagnostics and advanced research. However, existing methods typically focus on isolated enhancement tasks, such as specific 64mT-to-3T or 3T-to-7T transitions using limited subject cohorts, thereby failing to exploit the shared degradation patterns inherent across different field strengths and severely restricting model generalization. To address this challenge, we propose \methodname, a unified framework integrating multiple modalities and enhancement tasks to mutually promote representation learning by exploiting these shared degradation characteristics. Specifically, our main contributions are threefold. Firstly, to overcome MRI data scarcity and capture continuous anatomical structures, \methodname departs from conventional methods that treat 3D MRI volumes as independent 2D slices. Instead, we directly exploit comprehensive 3D volumetric information by leveraging pre-trained 3D foundation models, thereby embedding generalized and robust structural representations to significantly boost enhancement performance. In addition, to mitigate the spectral bias of mainstream flow-matching models that often over-smooth high-frequency details, we explicitly incorporate the physical mechanisms of magnetic fields to introduce a Field-Aware Spectral Rectification Mechanism (FASRM), tailoring customized spectral corrections to distinct field strengths. Finally, to resolve the fundamental data bottleneck, we organize and publicly release a comprehensive paired multi-field MRI dataset, which is an order of magnitude larger than existing datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate our method's superiority over state-of-the-art approaches, achieving an average improvement of approximately 1.81 dB in PSNR and 9.47% in SSIM.

Skill-Evolving Grounded Reasoning for Free-Text Promptable 3D Medical Image Segmentation

Free-text promptable 3D medical image segmentation offers an intuitive and clinically flexible interaction paradigm. However, current methods are highly sensitive to linguistic variability: minor changes in phrasing can cause substantial performance degradation despite identical clinical intent. Existing approaches attempt to improve robustness through stronger vision-language fusion or larger vocabularies, yet they lack mechanisms to consistently align ambiguous free-form expressions with anatomically grounded representations. We propose Skill-Evolving grounded Reasoning (SEER), a novel framework for free-text promptable 3D medical image segmentation that explicitly bridges linguistic variability and anatomical precision through a reasoning-driven design. First, we curate the SEER-Trace dataset, which pairs raw clinical requests with image-grounded, skill-tagged reasoning traces, establishing a reproducible benchmark. Second, SEER constructs an evidence-aligned target representation via a vision-language reasoning chain that verifies clinical intent against image-derived anatomical evidence, thereby enforcing semantic consistency before voxel-level decoding. Third, we introduce SEER-Loop, a dynamic skill-evolving strategy that distills high-reward reasoning trajectories into reusable skill artifacts and progressively integrates them into subsequent inference, enabling structured self-refinement and improved robustness to diverse linguistic expressions. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior performance of SEER over state-of-the-art baselines. Under linguistic perturbations, SEER reduces performance variance by 81.94% and improves worst-case Dice by 18.60%. Project page: https://seer-medseg.github.io.

Brain-WM: Brain Glioblastoma World Model

Precise prognostic modeling of glioblastoma (GBM) under varying treatment interventions is essential for optimizing clinical outcomes. While generative AI has shown promise in simulating GBM evolution, existing methods typically treat interventions as static conditional inputs rather than dynamic decision variables. Consequently, they fail to capture the complex, reciprocal interplay between tumor evolution and treatment response. To bridge this gap, we present Brain-WM, a pioneering brain GBM world model that unifies next-step treatment prediction and future MRI generation, thereby capturing the co-evolutionary dynamics between tumor and treatment. Specifically, Brain-WM encodes spatiotemporal dynamics into a shared latent space for joint autoregressive treatment prediction and flow-based future MRI generation. Then, instead of a conventional monolithic framework, Brain-WM adopts a novel Y-shaped Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) architecture. This design structurally disentangles heterogeneous objectives, successfully leveraging cross-task synergies while preventing feature collapse. Finally, a synergistic multi-timepoint mask alignment objective explicitly anchors latent representations to anatomically grounded tumor structures and progression-aware semantics. Extensive validation on internal and external multi-institutional cohorts demonstrates the superiority of Brain-WM, achieving 91.5% accuracy in treatment planning and SSIMs of 0.8524, 0.8581, and 0.8404 for FLAIR, T1CE, and T2W sequences, respectively. Ultimately, Brain-WM offers a robust clinical sandbox for optimizing patient healthcare. The source code is made available at https://github.com/thibault-wch/Brain-GBM-world-model.

Dynamic Differential Linear Attention: Enhancing Linear Diffusion Transformer for High-Quality Image Generation

Diffusion transformers (DiTs) have emerged as a powerful architecture for high-fidelity image generation, yet the quadratic cost of self-attention poses a major scalability bottleneck. To address this, linear attention mechanisms have been adopted to reduce computational cost; unfortunately, the resulting linear diffusion transformers (LiTs) models often come at the expense of generative performance, frequently producing over-smoothed attention weights that limit expressiveness. In this work, we introduce Dynamic Differential Linear Attention (DyDiLA), a novel linear attention formulation that enhances the effectiveness of LiTs by mitigating the oversmoothing issue and improving generation quality. Specifically, the novelty of DyDiLA lies in three key designs: (i) dynamic projection module, which facilitates the decoupling of token representations by learning with dynamically assigned knowledge; (ii) dynamic measure kernel, which provides a better similarity measurement to capture fine-grained semantic distinctions between tokens by dynamically assigning kernel functions for token processing; and (iii) token differential operator, which enables more robust query-to-key retrieval by calculating the differences between the tokens and their corresponding information redundancy produced by dynamic measure kernel. To capitalize on DyDiLA, we introduce a refined LiT, termed DyDi-LiT, that systematically incorporates our advancements. Extensive experiments show that DyDi-LiT consistently outperforms current state-of-the-art (SOTA) models across multiple metrics, underscoring its strong practical potential.

Half-vortex soliton lattices in spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates with a quasi-flat band

Periodic potentials with flat bands in their spectra support strongly localized nonlinear excitations. Although a perfectly flat band cannot exist in a continuous system, a spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensate loaded in a Zeeman lattice can realize the quasi-flat lowest band with an extremely narrow bandwidth. In such a quasi flat band, half vortex solitons become confined within a single lattice cell, enabling the formation of arrays of coupled half vortex solitons arranged of various spatial geometries. In this work, we study the existence and stability of these lattices within the framework of the two-component Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We demonstrate that, near the quasi-flat band, half-vortex solitons and their arrays can be excited with a nearly negligible number of atoms and are constrained by their local symmetries, which are isomorphic to a dihedral group of order 8. This allows observation of the respective field patterns in the nearly linear regime where they exhibit enhanced stability. The constructed lattices may have diverse geometric profiles, and in particular create a composite super-half-vortex soliton with nonlinear symmetry breaking.

OneRec-V2 Technical Report

Recent breakthroughs in generative AI have transformed recommender systems through end-to-end generation. OneRec reformulates recommendation as an autoregressive generation task, achieving high Model FLOPs Utilization. While OneRec-V1 has shown significant empirical success in real-world deployment, two critical challenges hinder its scalability and performance: (1) inefficient computational allocation where 97.66% of resources are consumed by sequence encoding rather than generation, and (2) limitations in reinforcement learning relying solely on reward models. To address these challenges, we propose OneRec-V2, featuring: (1) Lazy Decoder-Only Architecture: Eliminates encoder bottlenecks, reducing total computation by 94% and training resources by 90%, enabling successful scaling to 8B parameters. (2) Preference Alignment with Real-World User Interactions: Incorporates Duration-Aware Reward Shaping and Adaptive Ratio Clipping to better align with user preferences using real-world feedback. Extensive A/B tests on Kuaishou demonstrate OneRec-V2's effectiveness, improving App Stay Time by 0.467%/0.741% while balancing multi-objective recommendations. This work advances generative recommendation scalability and alignment with real-world feedback, representing a step forward in the development of end-to-end recommender systems.

OneRec Technical Report

Recommender systems have been widely used in various large-scale user-oriented platforms for many years. However, compared to the rapid developments in the AI community, recommendation systems have not achieved a breakthrough in recent years. For instance, they still rely on a multi-stage cascaded architecture rather than an end-to-end approach, leading to computational fragmentation and optimization inconsistencies, and hindering the effective application of key breakthrough technologies from the AI community in recommendation scenarios. To address these issues, we propose OneRec, which reshapes the recommendation system through an end-to-end generative approach and achieves promising results. Firstly, we have enhanced the computational FLOPs of the current recommendation model by 10 $\times$ and have identified the scaling laws for recommendations within certain boundaries. Secondly, reinforcement learning techniques, previously difficult to apply for optimizing recommendations, show significant potential in this framework. Lastly, through infrastructure optimizations, we have achieved 23.7% and 28.8% Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU) on flagship GPUs during training and inference, respectively, aligning closely with the LLM community. This architecture significantly reduces communication and storage overhead, resulting in operating expense that is only 10.6% of traditional recommendation pipelines. Deployed in Kuaishou/Kuaishou Lite APP, it handles 25% of total queries per second, enhancing overall App Stay Time by 0.54% and 1.24%, respectively. Additionally, we have observed significant increases in metrics such as 7-day Lifetime, which is a crucial indicator of recommendation experience. We also provide practical lessons and insights derived from developing, optimizing, and maintaining a production-scale recommendation system with significant real-world impact.

Time-frequency-correlated Native CCZ Gate in Superconducting Circuits

Practical quantum advantage hinges on executing deep quantum circuits within the coherence limits of noisy intermediate-scale quantum processors. The absence of native, high-fidelity multi-qubit gates remains a major bottleneck, as their decomposition into single- and two-qubit gates leads to prohibitive depth and error overhead. Here, we propose a hardware-efficient protocol that directly implements a native controlled-controlled-Z (CCZ) gate in a tunable-coupler superconducting circuit. Our theoretical protocol activates a resonant three-qubit interaction via a time-frequency correlated virtual process, explicitly relying on the dynamic resonant exchange within the $|101\rangle \leftrightarrow |020\rangle$ transition manifold. This approach is compatible with standard tunable-coupler architectures without requiring additional control resources. Through a systematic calibration workflow combining pulse shaping and active cancellation of residual phases, we demonstrate a gate fidelity exceeding 99\% within $165\,\mathrm{ns}$ -- significantly outperforming decomposed sequences. Comprehensive error budgeting confirms that the gate performance remains robust against realistic experimental imperfections. Furthermore, we show that this scheme can be naturally extended to a continuous $\mathrm{CCPhase}(\theta)$ gate set. This work provides a direct, high-fidelity route to three-qubit entanglement, offering promising prospects for efficient execution of quantum algorithms on near-term superconducting hardware.

LangMamba: A Language-driven Mamba Framework for Low-dose CT Denoising with Vision-language Models

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces radiation exposure but often degrades image quality, potentially compromising diagnostic accuracy. Existing deep learning-based denoising methods focus primarily on pixel-level mappings, overlooking the potential benefits of high-level semantic guidance. Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) suggest that language can serve as a powerful tool for capturing structured semantic information, offering new opportunities to improve LDCT reconstruction. In this paper, we introduce LangMamba, a Language-driven Mamba framework for LDCT denoising that leverages VLM-derived representations to enhance supervision from normal-dose CT (NDCT). LangMamba follows a two-stage learning strategy. First, we pre-train a Language-guided AutoEncoder (LangAE) that leverages frozen VLMs to map NDCT images into a semantic space enriched with anatomical information. Second, we synergize LangAE with two key components to guide LDCT denoising: Semantic-Enhanced Efficient Denoiser (SEED), which enhances NDCT-relevant local semantic while capturing global features with efficient Mamba mechanism, and Language-engaged Dual-space Alignment (LangDA) Loss, which ensures that denoised images align with NDCT in both perceptual and semantic spaces. Extensive experiments on two public datasets demonstrate that LangMamba outperforms conventional state-of-the-art methods, significantly improving detail preservation and visual fidelity. Remarkably, LangAE exhibits strong generalizability to unseen datasets, thereby reducing training costs. Furthermore, LangDA loss improves explainability by integrating language-guided insights into image reconstruction and offers a plug-and-play fashion. Our findings shed new light on the potential of language as a supervisory signal to advance LDCT denoising. The code is publicly available on https://github.com/hao1635/LangMamba.

Autoregressive Medical Image Segmentation via Next-Scale Mask Prediction

While deep learning has significantly advanced medical image segmentation, most existing methods still struggle with handling complex anatomical regions. Cascaded or deep supervision-based approaches attempt to address this challenge through multi-scale feature learning but fail to establish sufficient inter-scale dependencies, as each scale relies solely on the features of the immediate predecessor. To this end, we propose the AutoRegressive Segmentation framework via next-scale mask prediction, termed AR-Seg, which progressively predicts the next-scale mask by explicitly modeling dependencies across all previous scales within a unified architecture. AR-Seg introduces three innovations: (1) a multi-scale mask autoencoder that quantizes the mask into multi-scale token maps to capture hierarchical anatomical structures, (2) a next-scale autoregressive mechanism that progressively predicts next-scale masks to enable sufficient inter-scale dependencies, and (3) a consensus-aggregation strategy that combines multiple sampled results to generate a more accurate mask, further improving segmentation robustness. Extensive experimental results on two benchmark datasets with different modalities demonstrate that AR-Seg outperforms state-of-the-art methods while explicitly visualizing the intermediate coarse-to-fine segmentation process.

Transfer of solitons and half-vortex solitons via adiabatic passage

We show that transfer of matter-wave solitons and half-vortex solitons in a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate between two (or more) arbitrarily chosen sites of an optical lattice can be implemented using the adiabatic passage. The underlying linear Hamiltonian has a flat band in its spectrum, so that even sufficiently weak inter-atomic interactions can sustain well-localized Wannier solitons which are involved in the transfer process. The adiabatic passage is assisted by properly chosen spatial and temporal modulations of the Rabi frequency. Within the framework of a few-mode approximation, the mechanism is enabled by a dark state created by coupling the initial and target low-energy solitons with a high-energy extended Bloch state, like in the conventional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage used for the coherent control of quantum states. In real space, however, the atomic transfer between initial and target states is sustained by the current carried by the extended Bloch state which remains populated during the whole process. The full description of the transfer is provided by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Protocols for the adiabatic passage are described for one- and two-dimensional optical lattices, as well as for splitting and subsequent transfer of an initial wavepacket simultaneously to two different target locations.
