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.

POLYFLOW: A Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Static Cross-Language Information Flow Analysis

Modern software systems are commonly constructed in multiple, interacting programming languages. This construction leads to additional, often stealthy vulnerabilities buried in complex information flow due to language interactions. Existing static analyzers are impeded by the heterogeneous semantics of different languages, whereas dynamic approaches suffer from the limited coverage of (available and/or generated) test inputs. In this paper, we develop PolyFlow, a neural-symbolic framework for statically reasoning about information flow across language boundaries, combining large language models (LLMs) and static analysis synergistically. Governed by the control-flow representation of a given multi-language system, PolyFlow leverages LLMs to identify implicit flow facts due to challenging language features, hence augmenting the base representation and then propagating data flow through the system. It tackles inherent barriers (e.g., token limit and hallucination) of LLMs by putting them under careful guidance (e.g., static-analysis-guided scoping, context management, and fact checking), along with a multi-LLM expert panel for negotiated validation. Our experiments on real-world Python-C and Java-C systems show that PolyFlow is cost-effective and superior to various kinds of state-of-the-art baselines, revealing previously unknown cross-language vulnerabilities that are missed by all the baselines.

A Comprehensive Study of Native Code Bugs in Python Applications

The impact of Python applications has been evidenced by their widespread presence in some of the most impactful software domains, such as machine learning frameworks and scientific computing platforms. These applications often integrate native code components written in a lower-level programming language like C. This multilingual construction brings various benefits such as greater performance efficiency and easier interoperability with diverse runtime environments. However, bugs in the native code (i.e., native code bugs), which are usually stealthy, also constitute a major additional challenge to the quality of the Python applications as a whole. Yet despite existing relevant studies, there remains a lack of comprehensive understanding of native code bugs in Python applications. In this paper, we aim to mitigate this knowledge gap through the first in-depth study of such bugs, dissecting their common symptoms, introducing locations, manifestation characteristics, root causes, and fixes. Based on our extensive automated and manual analyses of 216 native code bugs in real-world Python projects on GitHub, we obtained novel findings about and new insights into the occurrence mechanisms and resolution strategies of those bugs.

Development of A Novel Compton Camera for MeV Gamma-Ray Measurement in Space

The astrophysical gamma rays in the MeV energy region have not yet been well-explored due to the limitation of detection technology in the past decades, and the famous gamma-ray "MeV gap" exists. Opening the window of MeV gamma-ray is not only critical for the gamma astronomy but also essential for rich frontier researches in astro-particle physics, such as detecting light dark matter, probing the primordial black hole and better understanding of nucleosynthesis. As a pilot experiment of the project for dark matter detection in space at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a three-layer Compton camera with the energy resolution better than 4% and position resolution of ~2 mm is developed utilizing the novel scintillators. Here we show the design, detailed calibration and validation results of the novel Compton camera, and demonstrate its good ability of MeV gamma-ray source imaging for the upcoming in-orbit mission.

ServerlessT2I: Efficient Text-to-Image Workflow Serving on a Serverless Platform

Text-to-image (T2I) workflows are increasingly deployed on serverless platforms because users often compose customized workflows and invoke them intermittently. Existing platforms typically deploy each workflow as an opaque GPU function, provisioning, placing, and scaling all constituent models in the workflow together. This monolithic design obscures workflow structure, inflates scaling overhead, forces users to manage low-level GPU coordination, and limits fine-grained fairness in multi-tenant clusters. In this paper, we present ServerlessT2I, a serverless-native system that decomposes a T2I workflow into loosely coupled model functions that can be independently managed and scheduled. By explicitly managing individual model execution, ServerlessT2I enables per-model scaling, declarative workflow composition, transparent GPU-resident communication, and fairness-aware scheduling. To make this decomposition efficient, ServerlessT2I harvests slack GPU memory left idle by compute-bound T2I inference to build a data plane that reduces model loading and data communication overheads. \sys{} further introduces a fair scheduler for multi-tenant serving. Using production traces, ServerlessT2I sustains up to 2$\times$ higher request rates than existing T2I workflow serving systems with the same GPU budget; for a fixed request rate, it saves up to 3$\times$ GPU resources while satisfying service level objectives (SLOs).

Boogu-Image-0.1: Boosting Open Agentic Multimodal Generation via Understanding under a Minimal Budget

We introduce Boogu-Image-0.1, an open-source unified multimodal understanding and generation model family, comprising Base, Turbo, Edit, and Edit-Turbo variants. It delivers competitive performance in high-quality text-to-image generation, fast inference, instruction-based editing, and bilingual (Chinese-English) text rendering. Closed-source multimodal systems like Nano-Banana-Pro and GPT-Image-2 achieve strong performance through system-level integration rather than a single model, yet their internal practices remain largely undisclosed. In this work, we demonstrate that strengthening the understanding capability of the system, through a stronger multimodal encoder, agentic prompt rewriting, and related techniques, together with improvements in data quality, training pipelines, and agentic inference-time scaling, can substantially enhance generation and editing performance even under highly constrained compute budgets. Comprehensive evaluations show that Boogu-Image-0.1 consistently matches or surpasses other open-source models across standard benchmarks, and achieves results approaching leading closed-source systems. Notably, this is accomplished with only 208.62 million unique images. The base model's theoretical training cost is only approximately \$400K. We share practical discussions that we believe are valuable to the broader research community, and release weights, code, and recipes under Apache 2.0 to advance the open ecosystem for unified multimodal understanding and generation. Our code is available here: https://github.com/Boogu-Project/Boogu-Image.

Separate Control of Transient Leakage Exposure and Endpoint Leakage in Fast Transmon Gates

Leakage to noncomputational states limits the speed of single-qubit gates in weakly anharmonic transmons. Conventional pulse-shaping methods, including derivative removal by adiabatic gate (DRAG), primarily suppress the leakage remaining at the end of a gate. Here we demonstrate that endpoint leakage and the transient leakage population that accumulates during the gate represent distinct control objectives. Endpoint leakage is associated with the drive spectrum at the anharmonicity, whereas transient exposure depends on spectral weight over a finite frequency band and governs the additional leakage induced by dephasing. A spectral null at the leakage transition therefore suppresses the endpoint amplitude without necessarily reducing transient exposure. Based on this distinction, we introduce a path--endpoint separation pulse that combines transient-path shaping with a two-tone endpoint correction. For a $10$ ns $R_X(\pi/2)$ gate with an anharmonicity magnitude of $0.2$ GHz, numerical simulations show a $21\%$ reduction in transient exposure relative to cosine DRAG and a corresponding $20\%$ reduction in dephasing-induced excess leakage. The two correction tones further suppress residual leakage through the $|2\rangle$ and $|3\rangle$ channels, lowering the coherent endpoint leakage from approximately $7\times10^{-7}$ to $3\times10^{-8}$ without increasing transient exposure. These results establish transient exposure and endpoint leakage as complementary targets for the design of fast transmon gates.

TRACE: State-Aware Query Processing over Temporal Evidence Graphs for Conversational Data

Conversational data is increasingly used as a persistent source of user state for long-running assistants and AI agents. However, querying this data remains challenging because conversations naturally evolve: plans are revised, preferences change, and later messages frequently supersede or contradict earlier information. Existing long-memory pipelines largely treat memories as independent text or vector objects. This approach often retrieves semantically similar but stale evidence, offering limited support for state-aware reasoning. To address this problem, we present TRACE, a query processing framework over temporal evidence graphs for evolving conversational data. TRACE models conversations as a hierarchical graph spanning events, sessions, and topics, enriched with typed temporal, causal, update, and contradiction relations. Crucially, the framework maintains validity annotations so obsolete facts remain accessible for historical queries but are discounted for current-state answers. At query time, TRACE combines vector-based note retrieval with graph-guided evidence search, generating validity-aware support paths and a hybrid context for answer generation. This design separates lexical recall from evidence reconstruction, enabling bounded query-time reasoning over long conversational histories. Experiments on long-conversation query-answering (QA) benchmarks show that TRACE improves temporal and multi-hop reasoning, with ablations highlighting the importance of hierarchy, update-aware seeding, and path-grounded evidence.

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.

Fast Image Super-Resolution via Consistency Rectified Flow

Diffusion models (DMs) have demonstrated remarkable success in real-world image super-resolution (SR), yet their reliance on time-consuming multi-step sampling largely hinders their practical applications. While recent efforts have introduced few- or single-step solutions, existing methods either inefficiently model the process from noisy input or fail to fully exploit iterative generative priors, compromising the fidelity and quality of the reconstructed images. To address this issue, we propose FlowSR, a novel approach that reformulates the SR problem as a rectified flow from low-resolution (LR) to high-resolution (HR) images. Our method leverages an improved consistency learning strategy to enable high-quality SR in a single step. Specifically, we refine the original consistency distillation process by incorporating HR regularization, ensuring that the learned SR flow not only enforces self-consistency but also converges precisely to the ground-truth HR target. Furthermore, we introduce a fast-slow scheduling strategy, where adjacent timesteps for consistency learning are sampled from two distinct schedulers: a fast scheduler with fewer timesteps to improve efficiency, and a slow scheduler with more timesteps to capture fine-grained texture details. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FlowSR achieves outstanding performance in both efficiency and image quality. Code: \href{https://github.com/jiaqixuac/FlowSR}{this https URL}.

Robot Learning from Human Videos: A Survey

A critical bottleneck hindering further advancement in embodied AI and robotics is the challenge of scaling robot data. To address this, the field of learning robot manipulation skills from human video data has attracted rapidly growing attention in recent years, driven by the abundance of human activity videos and advances in computer vision. This line of research promises to enable robots to acquire skills passively from the vast and readily available resource of human demonstrations, substantially favoring scalable learning for generalist robotic systems. Therefore, we present this survey to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date review of human-video-based learning techniques in robotics, focusing on both human-robot skill transfer and data foundations. We first review the policy learning foundations in robotics, and then describe the fundamental interfaces to incorporate human videos. Subsequently, we introduce a hierarchical taxonomy of transferring human videos to robot skills, covering task-, observation-, and action-oriented pathways, along with a cross-family analysis of their couplings with different data configurations and learning paradigms. In addition, we investigate the data foundations including widely-used human video datasets and video generation schemes, and provide large-scale statistical trends in dataset development and utilization. Ultimately, we emphasize the challenges and limitations intrinsic to this field, and delineate potential avenues for future research.

Learn Weightlessness: Imitate Non-Self-Stabilizing Motions on Humanoid Robot

The integration of imitation and reinforcement learning has enabled remarkable advances in humanoid whole-body control, facilitating diverse human-like behaviors. However, research on environment-dependent motions remains limited. Existing methods typically enforce rigid trajectory tracking while neglecting physical interactions with the environment. We observe that humans naturally exploit a "weightless" state during non-self-stabilizing (NSS) motions--selectively relaxing specific joints to allow passive body--environment contact, thereby stabilizing the body and completing the motion. Inspired by this biological mechanism, we design a weightlessness-state auto-labeling strategy for dataset annotation; and we propose the Weightlessness Mechanism (WM), a method that dynamically determines which joints to relax and to what level, together enabling effective environmental interaction while executing target motions. We evaluate our approach on 3 representative NSS tasks: sitting on chairs of varying heights, lying down on beds with different inclinations, and leaning against walls via shoulder or elbow. Extensive experiments in simulation and on the Unitree G1 robot demonstrate that our WM method, trained on single-action demonstrations without any task-specific tuning, achieves strong generalization across diverse environmental configurations while maintaining motion stability. Our work bridges the gap between precise trajectory tracking and adaptive environmental interaction, offering a biologically-inspired solution for contact-rich humanoid control.

Generating Local Shields for Decentralised Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes

Multi-agent systems under partial observation often struggle to maintain safety because each agent's locally chosen action does not, in general, determine the resulting joint action. Shielding addresses this by filtering actions based on the current state, but most existing techniques either assume access to a shared centralised global state or employ memoryless local filters that cannot consider interaction history. We introduce a shield process algebra with guarded choice and recursion for specifying safe global behaviour in communication-free Dec-POMDP settings. From a shield process, we compile a process automaton, then a global Mealy machine as a safe joint-action filter, and finally project it to local Mealy machines whose states are belief-style subsets of the global Mealy machine states consistent with each agent's observations, and which output per-agent safe action sets. We implement the pipeline in Rust and integrate PRISM, the Probabilistic Symbolic Model Checker, to compute best- and worst-case safety probabilities independently of the agents' policies. A multi-agent path-finding case study demonstrates how different shield processes substantially reduce collisions compared to the unshielded baseline while exhibiting varying levels of expressiveness and conservatism.

PhyGile: Physics-Prefix Guided Motion Generation for Agile General Humanoid Motion Tracking

Humanoid robots are expected to execute agile and expressive whole-body motions in real-world settings. Existing text-to-motion generation models are predominantly trained on captured human motion datasets, whose priors assume human biomechanics, actuation, mass distribution, and contact strategies. When such motions are directly retargeted to humanoid robots, the resulting trajectories may satisfy geometric constraints (e.g., joint limits and pose continuity) and appear kinematically reasonable. However, they frequently violate the physical feasibility required for real-world execution. To address these issues, we present PhyGile, a unified framework that closes the loop between robot-native motion generation and General Motion Tracking (GMT). PhyGile performs physics-prefix-guided robot-native motion generation at inference time, directly generating robot-native motions in a 262-dimensional skeletal space with physics-guided prefixes, thereby eliminating inference-time retargeting artifacts and reducing generation-execution discrepancies. Before physics-prefix adaptation, we train the GMT controller with a curriculum-based mixture-of-experts scheme, followed by post-training on unlabeled motion data to improve robustness over large-scale robot motions. During physics-prefix adaptation, the GMT controller is further fine-tuned with generated objectives under physics-derived prefixes, enabling agile and stable execution of complex motions on real robots. Extensive offline and real-robot experiments demonstrate that PhyGile expands the frontier of text-driven humanoid control, enabling stable tracking of agile, highly difficult whole-body motions that go well beyond walking and low-dynamic motions typically achieved by prior methods.

ZeroWBC: Learning Natural Whole-Body Humanoid Interaction from Human Egocentric Data

Achieving versatile and natural whole-body humanoid interaction control remains challenging due to the high cost of whole-body teleoperation data. We present ZeroWBC, a teleoperation-free framework that learns humanoid whole-body interaction from human egocentric videos paired with synchronized whole-body motion and text annotations. ZeroWBC adopts a generation-then-tracking formulation to tackle the static scene whole-body interaction control problem. Given an initial egocentric image and a language instruction, a fine-tuned Vision-Language Model generates future human whole-body motion tokens, which are decoded into continuous motions and retargeted to the humanoid. The resulting reference motions, together with root and key body-part trajectories, are then executed by a general interactive motion tracking policy. To improve interaction performance, we introduce an interaction-oriented tracking reward that prioritizes global root and key body-part trajectory alignment while preserving natural whole-body motion. Experiments on the Unitree G1 humanoid robot show that ZeroWBC enables diverse scene-aware behaviors without robot teleoperation demonstrations. These results suggest a scalable paradigm for learning natural humanoid whole-body interaction from human egocentric data.

On a new filtration of the variational bicomplex

We define a filtration on the variational bicomplex according to jet order. The filtration is preserved by the interior Euler operator, which is not a module homomorphism with respect to the ring of smooth functions on the jet space. However, the induced maps on the graded components of this filtration are. Furthermore, the space of functional forms in the image of the interior Euler operator inherits a filtration. Though the filtered subspaces are not submodules either, the graded components are isomorphic to linear spaces which do have module structures. This works for any fixed degree of the functional forms. In this way, the condition that a functional form vanishes can be stated concisely with a module basis. We work out explicitly two examples: one for functional forms of degree two in relation to the Helmholtz conditions and the other of arbitrary degree but with jet order one.

RP-CATE: Recurrent Perceptron-based Channel Attention Transformer Encoder for Industrial Hybrid Modeling

Nowadays, industrial hybrid modeling which integrates both mechanistic modeling and machine learning-based modeling techniques has attracted increasing interest from scholars due to its high accuracy, low computational cost, and satisfactory interpretability. Nevertheless, the existing industrial hybrid modeling methods still face two main limitations. First, current research has mainly focused on applying a single machine learning method to one specific task, failing to develop a comprehensive machine learning architecture suitable for modeling tasks, which limits their ability to effectively represent complex industrial scenarios. Second, industrial datasets often contain underlying associations (e.g., monotonicity or periodicity) that are not adequately exploited by current research, which can degrade model's predictive performance. To address these limitations, this paper proposes the Recurrent Perceptron-based Channel Attention Transformer Encoder (RP-CATE), with three distinctive characteristics: 1: We developed a novel architecture by replacing the self-attention mechanism with channel attention and incorporating our proposed Recurrent Perceptron (RP) Module into Transformer, achieving enhanced effectiveness for industrial modeling tasks compared to the original Transformer. 2: We proposed a new data type called Pseudo-Image Data (PID) tailored for channel attention requirements and developed a cyclic sliding window method for generating PID. 3: We introduced the concept of Pseudo-Sequential Data (PSD) and a method for converting industrial datasets into PSD, which enables the RP Module to capture the underlying associations within industrial dataset more effectively. An experiment aimed at hybrid modeling in chemical engineering was conducted by using RP-CATE and the experimental results demonstrate that RP-CATE achieves the best performance compared to other baseline models.

Democratic Recommendation with User and Item Representatives Produced by Graph Condensation

The challenges associated with large-scale user-item interaction graphs have attracted increasing attention in graph-based recommendation systems, primarily due to computational inefficiencies and inadequate information propagation. Existing methods provide partial solutions but suffer from notable limitations: model-centric approaches, such as sampling and aggregation, often struggle with generalization, while data-centric techniques, including graph sparsification and coarsening, lead to information loss and ineffective handling of bipartite graph structures. Recent advances in graph condensation offer a promising direction by reducing graph size while preserving essential information, presenting a novel approach to mitigating these challenges. Inspired by the principles of democracy, we propose \textbf{DemoRec}, a framework that leverages graph condensation to generate user and item representatives for recommendation tasks. By constructing a compact interaction graph and clustering nodes with shared characteristics from the original graph, DemoRec significantly reduces graph size and computational complexity. Furthermore, it mitigates the over-reliance on high-order information, a critical challenge in large-scale bipartite graphs. Extensive experiments conducted on four public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of DemoRec, showcasing substantial improvements in recommendation performance, computational efficiency, and robustness compared to SOTA methods.
