The non-equilibrium condensate-like state in multi-mode driven dissipative superconducting quantum circuit

The effective decay rate of traditional single mode model for an open quantum system can't accurately described the exchange between intermodes and dissipation caused by the environment,therefore we can not clearly see the occupation pathway of target mode or the transient participation of auxiliary modes.At the same time,we also can't address the selective dissipation pathways resulting from the circuit design.In order to solving above problem,we adopt fluxonium-transmon-transmon (FTT)-based three mode model to describe dynamical characteristics of dissipation spectrum in superconducting quantum circuits.In terms of periodic flux modulation,we find out the pathways of intermode occupation transfer and environmental release for the target fluxonium changes from a high occupation nonequilibrium condensate-like state to low occupation equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC)state.Without increasing the intrinsic loss of the target mode in the process of adjusting the auxiliary mode,we furthermore obtain additional selectively engaged environmental dissipative pathway.Our model can provides a new design perspective for non-equilibrium state recovery in a controllable dissipation superconducting quantum circuit.

Attosecond Reconstruction of Strain Tensors via Electronic Fingerprints

We demonstrate an attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) scheme for reconstructing strain tensors in two-dimensional materials. Using strained graphene as a prototype system, we show that the fishbone structures in ATAS serve as distinctive spectral fingerprints of strain, where strain-induced shifts and splittings of van Hove singularities encode the magnitude and orientation of the strain tensor, respectively. By combining density-matrix simulations with analytical modeling, we establish a direct mapping between transient absorption spectra and strain tensors, enabling accurate retrieval of lattice deformation from ultrafast electronic responses. Our work introduces an attosecond spectroscopic paradigm for ultrafast strain metrology, where electronic fingerprints replace conventional structural probes for sensing lattice deformation in quantum materials.

HF-SID: High-Fidelity Semantic IDs for Generative Retrieval in Location-Based Services

Generative retrieval has attracted increasing attention in Location-Based Services (LBS), where each Point-of-Interest (POI) is represented as a Semantic ID (SID). As the SID is the only channel through which POI information reaches the generative model, whatever it fails to preserve is irrecoverable at decoding time, and LBS retrieval is especially sensitive to the fine-grained differences that existing SIDs blur. Specifically, (1) LLMs embed continuous coordinates discontinuously, so their numeric differences do not reflect true geographic distance; (2) dynamic numerical attributes differ vastly in scale, so an identical gap may be decisive for one attribute yet negligible for another; and (3) short text cannot convey hierarchical affiliation, as text-similar POIs may belong to different hierarchies. We therefore propose HF-SID, which restores geographic, numerical, and structural fidelity at the representation stage, before any information is committed to a discrete code. It transforms coordinates into a continuous 3D Cartesian form and encodes each numerical value as a single unit, consolidated inside the LLM by Geo-CPT and Num-CPT with type-aware embeddings; a Structure-based Contrastive Learning objective, applied only to the last-layer residual, then separates co-located POIs that share a coarse tag but differ at the fine level. Because these mechanisms enrich the representation rather than lengthen the identifier, HF-SID uses a 3-token SID at no extra decoding cost. On a large-scale industrial

SPADE: A Large Language Model Framework for Soil Moisture Pattern Recognition and Anomaly Detection in Precision Agriculture

Accurate interpretation of soil moisture patterns is critical for irrigation scheduling and crop management, yet existing approaches for soil moisture time-series analysis either rely on threshold-based rules or data-hungry machine learning or deep learning models that are limited in adaptability and interpretability. In this study, we propose SPADE (Soil moisture Pattern and Anomaly DEtection), which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first LLM-based framework specifically developed for soil moisture time-series analysis. Using GPT-4.1 and domain-informed prompts, SPADE performs zero-shot joint identification of wetting events and anomalies without task-specific annotation, training, or fine-tuning. By converting time-series observations into a textual representation, SPADE identifies wetting-event timing, estimates sensor-level moisture responses, detects and classifies multiple predefined anomaly types, and generates structured, human-readable reports. SPADE was evaluated using real-world soil moisture data collected from commercial and research farms encompassing four crop types across the United States. Compared with the evaluated training-free baselines, SPADE achieved higher anomaly recall and F1-score, strong precision and recall for wetting-event detection, and high accuracy in classifying the observed anomaly types. Its structured reports summarize event timing, anomaly type, concise explanations, and sensor-level moisture responses, supporting practical interpretation of soil moisture patterns. These outputs may support soil moisture review, anomaly screening, and relative comparison of wetting responses rather than direct irrigation prescription.

MedPriv-Bench: Benchmarking the Privacy-Utility Trade-off of Large Language Models in Medical Open-Ended Question Answering

Recent advances in Retrieval-Augmented Generation enable LLMs to ground outputs in clinical evidence, but connections to external databases create the risk of contextual leakage, where unique combinations of medical details enable patient re-identification without explicit identifiers. Existing healthcare benchmarks emphasize accuracy while overlooking this risk. To fill this gap, we present MedPriv-Bench, the first benchmark for jointly evaluating privacy preservation and clinical utility in medical open-ended question answering. Our framework utilizes a multi-agent, human-in-the-loop pipeline to synthesize sensitive medical contexts and clinically relevant queries that create realistic privacy pressure. We also establish an automated evaluation protocol using a fine-tuned RoBERTa-NLI model, which achieved an instance-level F1 score of 75.3%, sensitivity of 90.7%, and an average inference time of 0.056 s per sample against human annotations. Across nine LLMs and three privacy-preserving methods, we observed a pervasive privacy-utility trade-off. Relative to unprotected Med42-v2-8B (utility 3.87/5; leakage 72.8%), supervised fine-tuning improved utility to 4.25 and reduced leakage to 38.9%, whereas local differential privacy reduced leakage to 20.5% but lowered utility to 3.03. These results demonstrate the need for domain-specific benchmarks to validate medical AI systems in privacy-sensitive settings.

VIABLE: A Visually Impaired Assistance Benchmark for VLM-as-a-Judge Evaluation

AI-based Visually Impaired Assistance (VIA) remains challenging, largely due to the high cost of human evaluation. The VLM-as-a-Judge paradigm may offer a promising alternative, although it has mostly been studied in general domains. We therefore ask whether such judges can be trusted for VIA tasks. To investigate this question, we introduce VIABLE (Visually Impaired Assistance Benchmark for VLM-as-a-Judge Evaluation), the first benchmark for VLM-as-a-Judge evaluation in VIA. VIABLE contains over 300K judgment samples across three scenarios and introduces an Effectiveness--Impartiality--Stability framework with a 12-mode failure taxonomy. Based on VIABLE, our systematic study of seven judges across different model scales shows that existing models are largely unreliable across all evaluation axes. The strongest judge, GPT-5.4, achieves only 52.6% single-failure diagnostic accuracy, yet exhibits the highest self-preference rate at 94.2%; while open-source judges are strongly biased and adversarially fragile. To address these issues, we propose VIA-Judge-Agent, a model-agnostic inference-time harness that augments judges with visual evidence extraction and a taxonomy-guided workflow. It enables positive improvements in diagnostic accuracy and downstream VIA responses more preferred by BLV users. Data and code are available at: https://github.com/YiyiyiZhao/VIABLE

ContestTrade: A Multi-Agent Trading System Based on Internal Contest Mechanism

In financial trading, large language model (LLM)-based agents demonstrate significant potential, but their decisions can be sensitive to noisy and non-stationary market information. We propose ContestTrade, a multi-agent trading system with an internal competitive mechanism inspired by institutional investment workflows. The system consists of two specialized teams: (1) a Data Team that processes and condenses massive market data into diversified textual factors optimized for constrained LLM context windows, and (2) a Research Team that produces parallelized multipath trading decisions via tool-augmented deep research. The core design is a "Quantify-Predict-Allocate" contest mechanism within each team: agent outputs are scored only after market outcomes become observable, future utility is predicted from historical scores, and resources are allocated to agents with positive predicted utility. In a post-2024 A-share backtest, ContestTrade achieves higher backtested return and risk-adjusted performance than the evaluated baselines. We further describe the temporal protocol, implementation choices, and limitations to clarify the scope of these results.

Dissipation-tunable extended and localized steady states in a non-disordered lattice

Dissipation is usually regarded as a source of decoherence that suppresses quantum interference and localization. Here we show that suitably engineered dissipation can instead be used to select localized or extended states in a strictly non-disordered one-dimensional lattice. The underlying clean lattice has spatially inhomogeneous hopping and supports both extended bulk states and localized boundary states, including an algebraically localized bound state in the continuum. We introduce a nonlocal bond jump operator with a tunable relative phase and show that this phase selectively favors eigenstates with different spatial phase correlations. As a result, the long-time density matrix can be steered toward sectors dominated by localized or extended Hamiltonian eigenstates without changing any Hamiltonian parameter. The microscopic origin of the selection is quantified by the fraction of site pairs separated by a distance $l$ that are phase matched with the dissipative channel. We further characterize the dissipative quench through the quantum fidelity and show that the selected character of the steady state can persist after the dissipation is removed. Our results establish phase-selective bond dissipation as a route to controllable state preparation and transport manipulation in non-disordered lattices.

SLAI T-Rex: Full-Parameter Post-training of the DeepSeek-V4 Family on Ascend SuperPOD

Full-parameter post-training of trillion-parameter-scale MoE models introduces substantial system-level challenges for large-scale distributed training, including severe memory pressure, non-overlapped communication overhead, and inefficient kernel execution. While most large-scale LLM training systems are built around GPU-based clusters, this report presents an end-to-end optimization practice on the Ascend NPU SuperPOD. Using the DeepSeek-V4 model family as the target workload, we develop a hierarchical optimization framework spanning model-level parallelism, computation-communication orchestration, and low-level kernel execution. The resulting system achieves 34.22% Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU) with a 2.93x improvement over the open-source baseline recipe while maintaining training stability. Building on this optimized infrastructure, we further establish a CPT and SFT workflow for complex Operations Research (OR) tasks. We refer to the integrated framework as SLAI T-Rex. Using DeepSeek-V4-Flash, we develop OR-oriented CPT and SFT data pipelines that combine collected domain resources with solver-verified synthetic optimization documents. The resulting dataset contains 10K high-quality SFT samples spanning four task categories and three problem representations. The specialized model achieves the highest average zero-shot Pass@1 score among the evaluated models, reaching 71.81% and outperforming GPT-5.4-Mini and the base DeepSeek-V4-Flash model by 3.98 and 11.27 percentage points, respectively. Overall, this work demonstrates a full-stack pathway from efficient trillion-parameter model post-training on Ascend infra to domain-specialized Flash models for solver-grounded mathematical modeling, advancing frontier-model systems for complex reasoning.

Dephasing-induced distinct mobility edges in a dimerized off-diagonal quasicrystal

Anderson localization and the mobility edge (ME) have been extensively studied in isolated aperiodic systems. Conventional theory suggests that dephasing and decoherence should disrupt localization and facilitate transport. In this work, we investigate localization behaviors in a dimerized off-diagonal Aubry-Andre-Harper (AAH) quasicrystal subject to on-site pure dephasing. In the strong-dephasing limit, we apply adiabatic elimination within the Lindblad master equation framework to derive an effective classical Markov transition matrix that governs the dissipative relaxation dynamics. Counterintuitively, we demonstrate that pure dephasing can induce distinct MEs, including both conventional MEs separating extended and localized states and anomalous MEs separating multifractal critical states from localized states, even when all eigenstates of the original closed coherent system are delocalized or multifractal. Using fractal dimension finite-size scaling, wave-packet spreading dynamics, and energy spectrum statistics, we numerically verify the coexistence of fully extended, multifractal critical, and localized regions within the relaxation spectrum of the dissipative system, and construct the global dissipative phase diagram. These findings reveal that dephasing can see as a powerful mechanism for controlling localization transitions, thus enhancing our understanding of dissipative quasicrystal systems.

Exact mobility rings in non-Hermitian quasiperiodically decorated Lieb lattices

The mobility ring (MR), a critical boundary in the complex energy plane separating extended and localized states, is fundamental to understanding the Anderson transition in non-Hermitian (NH) disordered systems. While MRs have been extensively studied in one-dimensional (1D) NH quasiperiodic models, rigorous analytical frameworks beyond 1D remain critically scarce. Here, we investigate a class of two-dimensional (2D) quasiperiodically decorated Lieb lattices (QDLLs) featuring complex incommensurate potentials selectively applied to the lattice vertices. By exactly mapping these 2D structures onto NH generalized Aubry-Andr{é}-Harper (AAH) models and leveraging extended-localized transition point, we analytically derive the Lyapunov exponents and obtain exact expressions for the MRs. These exact theoretical boundaries are strongly corroborated by numerical computations of wavefunction fractal dimensions and real-space probability distributions. Furthermore, we reveal distinct evolutionary behaviors of the MRs driven by the quasiperiodic potential strength: systems characterized by $κ=2$ possess a single MR, whereas systems with $κ=3$ undergo a dynamic sequential evolution from a single integrated ring into two independent rings. We hope that our exact results of MRs in 2D will benefit the study of Anderson localizations and MRs in high-dimensional NH systems.

AutoDesign: Meta-Harness Optimization for Long-Horizon Agentic Design

Transforming multimodal sources into condensed and structured media outputs can be fundamentally conceptualized as a long-horizon agentic process centered on a model-harness system. While an ideal harness system should align with human design priors and accumulate reusable experience through empirical exploration to drive recursive self-improvement, existing paradigms remain static and fall short of this capability. In this paper, we present AutoDesign, a framework that aligns with human design priors, where a meta-harness optimizer guides a code agent to recursively improve harness based on rollout feedback. To instantiate and evaluate this framework, we focus on the academic paper-to-poster generation task and introduce PosterBench, comprising a 100-paper Main Track spanning five disciplines and PosterBench-mini, a shared 10-paper subset for controlled evaluation. On the PosterBench Main Track, AutoDesign achieves the highest score of 78.32, surpassing the closed-source commercial system Claude Design by 7.45 points. Across seven controlled code-agent-model configurations, integrating the learned DesignHarness consistently improves performance, increasing the average PosterBench Score from 54.99 to 67.39 (+12.4%). In a fully autonomous long-horizon loop, it executes 253 tool calls and 11 editing turns within 40 minutes for under $3, reaching average conference-poster quality in human evaluation. A system-blind human study further demonstrates that AutoDesign achieves the highest human preference among evaluated systems.

Sighted by Default: Addressing Implicit Vision Assumptions in Real-Time VLM Assistance for BLV Users

Vision-Language Model (VLM)-based assistance is reshaping independence for blind and low-vision (BLV) users, yet current tools fail in dynamic settings. While request-response architectures like BeMyAI impose prohibitive latencies, our formative study (N = 15) reveals that even real-time alternatives like Doubao fail due to a deeper structural problem: sighted-default bias -- the implicit assumption that users possess parallel visual access to their surroundings. This bias manifests as verbose, vision-centric narratives that overlook the serial nature of auditory perception, flooding the user's limited cognitive bandwidth with information that is neither timely nor actionable. To address this, we derive three design principles: Continuity, Conciseness, and Calibrated Honesty. We present VIA-Agent, which co-optimizes a specialized cognitive core with a low-latency Real-Time Communication (RTC) architecture for continuous bidirectional streaming. In a within-subjects evaluation (N = 9), VIA-Agent matched Doubao's success rate, significantly reducing mean task time by 21.4% (91.7s vs. 116.7s) and conversational turns from 5.9 to 4.3 while achieving higher trust.

When Skills Meet Safety: Benchmarking and Characterizing the Adaptive Jailbreak Robustness of Skill-Merged LLMs

Model merging has become the default way to give an aligned language model new skills without retraining: a practitioner folds task vectors from math, code, or domain specialists into a safety-aligned base using task arithmetic, TIES, or DARE. This convenience is known to carry a safety cost, but almost all of that evidence rests on static refusal tests: fixed harmful prompts scored for compliance. We argue this is misleading. Because safety alignment is "shallow," concentrated in the first few generated tokens, a merged model's static refusal can stay clean while a real adaptive attack still breaks it. We introduce SkillSafe-Bench, a controlled benchmark that scores skill-merged models on static refusal, adaptive jailbreak robustness, and capability retention under a conservative two-judge AND rule. Across six open-weight bases (five families, two scales), static safety does not predict robustness to attack: under a semantic template attack, safe-looking merges on the fragile bases (both Qwen scales and Gemma) are jailbroken 60-76% of the time while others (Llama, Phi-4) stay robust. We further show the static effect of merging is base-conditional, characterize same-recipe abliteration-style safety erosion through a data-free geometric signal (the overlap of a task vector with a safety subspace), and outline SubSafe-Merge, which projects this overlap away to remove that erosion at held capability. Adaptive evaluation is not optional for merged LLMs: the models that most need it look safe under static screening.

I Seek You in Videos: Identity-Conditioned Queries for Person-Centric Video Reasoning

Real-world video reasoning often involves multimodal, multi-source inputs, whereas existing video reasoning tasks typically assume a simplified video-text setting, limiting identity matching and person-centric reasoning. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Identity-conditioned Queries (ICQ) task, in which models are required to jointly associate and interpret an input video and a reference image of a person, and leverage this conditioning to address identity grounding, behavior understanding, and temporal reasoning, among other challenges. Building on ICQ, we present ISYV (I Seek You in Videos), a systematic solution comprising three components: (1) ISYV-Bench, a challenging evaluation benchmark with 1,377 real-world complex videos and 1,377 question-answer pairs, organized into six difficulty levels spanning capabilities from identity recognition to causal reasoning; (2) ISYV-75K, a large-scale training set of 75K high-quality samples constructed via automated annotation, multi-stage verification, and manual review; and (3) ISYV-Framework, containing an ICQ-oriented model and training strategy for learning to exploit informative video shots without additional shot-level annotations. Extensive experiments show that both mainstream closed-source and open-source MLLMs struggle on ISYV-Bench, especially in cross-domain identity matching and long-horizon tracking. ISYV-Model outperforms strong baselines and in some aspects approaches closed-source performance. Overall, ISYV provides a unified task definition, scalable datasets/benchmarks, and modeling insights for person-centric video reasoning.

MetaboLLM: a metabolomics-specialized large language model for biochemical knowledge integration and predictive metabolite graph construction

Metabolomics knowledge is distributed across heterogeneous resources and remains difficult to translate into predictive representations. We developed MetaboLLM, a metabolomics-specialized large language model adapted through continual pretraining, supervised fine-tuning, and structured retrieval, together with MetaboLLM-GIN, which converts generated biochemical descriptions into metabolite graphs for patient-level prediction using a graph isomorphism network. Across four backbone families, MetaboLLM outperformed corresponding base and medically adapted models on metabolomics knowledge, relational, and description tasks, and transferred to an external public benchmark. MetaboLLM-GIN achieved the highest AUC for stress hyperglycemia prediction after coronary artery bypass grafting (0.8616) and postmenopausal hormone-regimen classification (0.8123), outperforming conventional models, alternative graph constructions, and graphs generated from unadapted or non-retrieval LLM configurations. Model interpretation further produced biologically meaningful findings in both applications. These results show that domain-specialized language models can organize heterogeneous biochemical knowledge into predictive and interpretable metabolite graph representations.

CalibratedRubric: Task-Adaptive Rubric Banks for Open-Ended LLM Evaluation

Reliable evaluation of open-ended LLM outputs requires fine-grained rubrics, yet expert curation is costly and difficult to scale. Existing automated pipelines rely on strict judge unanimity and binary variance filters, which cannot distinguish measurable rubrics from informative ones. We introduce CalibratedRubric, a task-adaptive framework that combines type-specific scoring, Bayesian rubric-measurability filtering, and item response theory (IRT)-based bank assembly. CalibratedRubric estimates each rubric's measurability with a Beta--Bernoulli agreement posterior and uses a submodular information-coverage objective to construct compact rubric banks over the observed capability range. Across financial, healthcare, general, and legal benchmarks, measurability filtering improves human-gold agreement on JudgmentBench from $κ=0.604$ to $0.743$. IRT-based greedy selection improves cross-fitted rank fidelity over random selection across all six evaluated response blocks and requires only 49 rather than 131 rubrics to reach the target correlation on FinResearchBench decision-support tasks. Task-label perturbations further reduce system separation, confirming the practical relevance of task-adaptive scoring. These results support CalibratedRubric as an efficient, uncertainty-aware approach to open-ended LLM evaluation, with calibration gains depending on sufficient judge redundancy.

MoRoute: Dynamic Routing for In-Context Multimodal Video Generation

Multimodal video generation aims to generate and edit videos conditioned on arbitrary combinations of text, images, and videos within a single model, allowing diverse tasks to share complementary data and generative priors. Unifying these tasks requires multimodal understanding of diverse conditions, which is typically provided by a pretrained vision-language model (VLM). A key challenge is how to connect the VLM's hierarchical multimodal representations with a pretrained video diffusion transformer (DiT). Existing methods either inject features from only the final or a few manually selected VLM layers, or jointly train architecture-matched understanding and generation streams, making it difficult to reuse heterogeneous pretrained backbones. We introduce MoRoute, a unified multimodal video generation framework that formulates a frozen VLM and a pretrained video DiT with different architectures as heterogeneous experts connected through dynamic layer routing. For each input, a lightweight block-wise router enables every DiT block to select the VLM layer most relevant to its generation stage, thereby learning an adaptive correspondence between multimodal understanding and video synthesis. MoRoute further incorporates reference images and source videos directly into the DiT token sequence through unified in-context conditioning, preserving fine-grained visual details across diverse generation and editing tasks. Experiments on IntelligentVBench, OpenVE-Bench, and RefVIE-Bench show that MoRoute consistently surpasses the best competing method on each benchmark, improving the average score by 0.15, 0.18, and 0.34 on a 1-5 scale, respectively.
