Effective Transition from Weak to Essential Non-Markovianity Induced by Coarse-Graining

Quantum channels generally reduce the distinguishability of quantum states, thereby constraining information transmission and processing in open quantum systems. While it is known that distinguishability can be partially recovered through suitable post-processing protocols, a systematic characterization of the maximal achievable gain has remained elusive. Here, we establish a general framework to determine and optimize the recovery of distinguishability induced by a quantum channel. We introduce an algorithm that identifies the optimal implementation of a multi-copy coarse-graining protocol applicable to arbitrary channels. Within this framework, we derive a general upper bound on the attainable distinguishability gain and quantify the performance of the protocol through its tightness relative to this bound. Our results show that collective coarse-graining can lead to effective dynamics exhibiting the operational signatures of essential non-Markovianity even when the underlying microscopic dynamics remain weakly non-Markovian. A detailed analysis reveals a nontrivial trade-off between mathematical optimality (bound saturation) and operational optimality, together with a strong dependence on both the input ensemble and the number of copies. Taken together, these findings provide a unified and quantitative framework to assess, optimize, and interpret distinguishability recovery in open quantum systems while showing how collective processing can qualitatively modify the operational memory properties of effective dynamical descriptions.

Impact of Data-Oriented and Object-Oriented Design on Performance and Cache Utilization with Artificial Intelligence Algorithms in Multi-Threaded CPUs

The growing performance gap between multi-core CPUs and main memory necessitates hardware-aware software design paradigms. This study provides a comprehensive performance analysis of Data Oriented Design (DOD) versus the traditional Object-Oriented Design (OOD), focusing on cache utilization and efficiency in multi-threaded environments. We developed and compared four distinct versions of the A* search algorithm: single-threaded OOD (ST-OOD), single-threaded DOD (ST-DOD), multi-threaded OOD (MT-OOD), and multi-threaded DOD (MT-DOD). The evaluation was based on metrics including execution time, memory usage, and CPU cache misses. In multi-threaded tests, the DOD implementation demonstrated considerable performance gains, with faster execution times and a lower number of raw system calls and cache misses. While OOD occasionally showed marginal advantages in memory usage or percentage-based cache miss rates, DOD's efficiency in data-intensive operations was more evident. Furthermore, our findings reveal that for a fine-grained task like the A* algorithm, the overhead associated with thread management led to single-threaded versions significantly outperforming their multi-threaded counterparts in both paradigms. We conclude that even when performance differences appear subtle in simple algorithms, the consistent advantages of DOD in critical metrics highlight its foundational architectural superiority, suggesting it is a more effective approach for maximizing hardware efficiency in complex, large-scale AI and parallel computing tasks.

Machine Learning vs. Randomness: Challenges in Predicting Binary Options Movements

Binary options trading is often marketed as a field where predictive models can generate consistent profits. However, the inherent randomness and stochastic nature of binary options make price movements highly unpredictable, posing significant challenges for any forecasting approach. This study demonstrates that machine learning algorithms struggle to outperform a simple baseline in predicting binary options movements. Using a dataset of EUR/USD currency pairs from 2021 to 2023, we tested multiple models, including Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, and k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), both before and after hyperparameter optimization. Furthermore, several neural network architectures, including Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP) and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, were evaluated under different training conditions. Despite these exhaustive efforts, none of the models surpassed the ZeroR baseline accuracy, highlighting the inherent randomness of binary options. These findings reinforce the notion that binary options lack predictable patterns, making them unsuitable for machine learning-based forecasting.

SpellForger: Prompting Custom Spell Properties In-Game using BERT supervised-trained model

Introduction: The application of Artificial Intelligence in games has evolved significantly, allowing for dynamic content generation. However, its use as a core gameplay co-creation tool remains underexplored. Objective: This paper proposes SpellForger, a game where players create custom spells by writing natural language prompts, aiming to provide a unique experience of personalization and creativity. Methodology: The system uses a supervisedtrained BERT model to interpret player prompts. This model maps textual descriptions to one of many spell prefabs and balances their parameters (damage, cost, effects) to ensure competitive integrity. The game is developed in the Unity Game Engine, and the AI backend is in Python. Expected Results: We expect to deliver a functional prototype that demonstrates the generation of spells in real time, applied to an engaging gameplay loop, where player creativity is central to the experience, validating the use of AI as a direct gameplay mechanic.

k-Uniform complete hypergraph states stabilizers in terms of local operators

In this work, we present a novel method to express the stabilizer of a k-uniform complete hypergraph state as a linear combination of local operators. Quantum hypergraph states generalize graph states and exhibit properties that are not shared by their graph counterparts, most notably, their stabilizers are intrinsically nonlocal, as hyperedges can involve arbitrary subsets of vertices. Our formulation provides an explicit description of the stabilizers for k-uniform complete hypergraphs and may offer new insights for exploring these states within the stabilizer formalism. In particular, this approach could facilitate the construction of new Bell inequalities or find applications in quantum error correction.
