OmniEdit: A Training-free framework for Lip Synchronization and Audio-Visual Editing

Lip synchronization and audio-visual editing have emerged as fundamental challenges in multimodal learning, underpinning a wide range of applications, including film production, virtual avatars, and telepresence. Despite recent progress, most existing methods for lip synchronization and audio-visual editing depend on supervised fine-tuning of pre-trained models, leading to considerable computational overhead and data requirements. In this paper, we present OmniEdit, a training-free framework designed for both lip synchronization and audio-visual editing. Our approach reformulates the editing paradigm by substituting the edit sequence in FlowEdit with the target sequence, yielding an unbiased estimation of the desired output. Moreover, by removing stochastic elements from the generation process, we establish a smooth and stable editing trajectory. Extensive experimental results validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed framework. Code is available at https://github.com/l1346792580123/OmniEdit.

Tensor Network Assisted Distributed Variational Quantum Algorithm for Large Scale Combinatorial Optimization Problem

Although quantum computing holds promise for solving Combinatorial Optimization Problems (COPs), the limited qubit capacity of NISQ hardware makes large-scale instances intractable. Conventional methods attempt to bridge this gap through decomposition or compression, yet they frequently fail to capture global correlations of subsystems, leading to solutions of limited quality. We propose the Distributed Variational Quantum Algorithm (DVQA) to overcome these limitations, enabling the solution of 1,000-variable instances on constrained hardware. A key innovation of DVQA is its use of the truncated higher-order singular value decomposition to preserve inter-variable dependencies without relying on complex long-range entanglement, leading to a natural form of noise localization where errors scale with subsystem size rather than total qubit count, thus reconciling scalability with accuracy. Theoretical bounds confirm the algorithm's robustness for p-local Hamiltonians. Empirically, DVQA achieves state-of-the-art performance in simulations and has been experimentally validated on the Wu Kong quantum computer for portfolio optimization. This work provides a scalable, noise-resilient framework that advances the timeline for practical quantum optimization algorithms.

Multi-Channel Currency: A Secure Method Using Semi-Quantum Tokens

Digital currencies primarily operate online, but there is growing interest in enabling offline transactions to improve digital inclusion. Existing offline methods struggle with double-spending risks, often limiting transaction amounts. In this work, we propose a quantum-state-based currency system that uses the non-cloning theorem to enable secure, multi-channel transactions without the risk of double spending. We demonstrate this system's implementation with experimental results, including use cases for currency transfers and swaps. To mitigate credit risks in swaps, we also integrate blockchain to show its wide applicability. Our approach paves the way for quantum-secure digital currencies and opens new possibilities for optimizing multi-channel tokens.

Breaking the Cycle of Recurring Failures: Applying Generative AI to Root Cause Analysis in Legacy Banking Systems

Traditional banks face significant challenges in digital transformation, primarily due to legacy system constraints and fragmented ownership. Recent incidents show that such fragmentation often results in superficial incident resolutions, leaving root causes unaddressed and causing recurring failures. We introduce a novel approach to post-incident analysis, integrating knowledge-based GenAI agents with the "Five Whys" technique to examine problem descriptions and change request data. This method uncovered that approximately 70% of the incidents previously attributed to management or vendor failures were due to underlying internal code issues. We present a case study to show the impact of our method. By scanning over 5,000 projects, we identified over 400 files with a similar root cause. Overall, we leverage the knowledge-based agents to automate and elevate root cause analysis, transforming it into a more proactive process. These agents can be applied across other phases of the software development lifecycle, further improving development processes.

Cloud-based Semi-Quantum Money

In the 1970s, Wiesner introduced the concept of quantum money, where quantum states generated according to specific rules function as currency. These states circulate among users with quantum resources through quantum channels or face-to-face interactions. Quantum mechanics grants quantum money physical-level unforgeability but also makes minting, storing, and circulating it significantly challenging. Currently, quantum computers capable of minting and preserving quantum money have not yet emerged, and existing quantum channels are not stable enough to support the efficient transmission of quantum states for quantum money, limiting its practicality. Semi-quantum money schemes support fully classical transactions and complete classical banks, reducing dependence on quantum resources and enhancing feasibility. To further minimize the system's reliance on quantum resources, we propose a cloud-based semi-quantum money (CSQM) scheme. This scheme relies only on semi-honest third-party quantum clouds, while the rest of the system remains entirely classical. We also discuss estimating the computational power required by the quantum cloud for the scheme and conduct a security analysis.

Quantum-Inspired Mean Field Probabilistic Model for Combinatorial Optimization Problems

Combinatorial optimization problems are pivotal across many fields. Among these, Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems, central to fields like portfolio optimization, network design, and computational biology, are NP-hard and require exponential computational resources. To address these challenges, we develop a novel Quantum-Inspired Mean Field (QIMF) probabilistic model that approximates solutions to QUBO problems with enhanced accuracy and efficiency. The QIMF model draws inspiration from quantum measurement principles and leverages the mean field probabilistic model. We incorporate a measurement grouping technique and an amplitude-based shot allocation strategy, both critical for optimizing cost functions with a polynomial speedup over traditional methods. Our extensive empirical studies demonstrate significant improvements in solution evaluation for large-scale problems of portfolio selection, the weighted maxcut problem, and the Ising model. Specifically, using S&P 500 data from 2022 and 2023, QIMF improves cost values by 152.8% and 12.5%, respectively, compared to the state-of-the-art baselines. Furthermore, when evaluated on increasingly larger datasets for QUBO problems, QIMF's scalability demonstrates its potential for large-scale QUBO challenges.

Quantum Graph Optimization Algorithm

Quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) tasks are very important in chemistry, finance, job scheduling, and so on, which can be represented using graph structures, with the variables as nodes and the interaction between them as edges. Variational quantum algorithms, especially the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and its variants, present a promising way, potentially exceeding the capabilities of classical algorithms, for addressing QUBO tasks. However, the possibility of using message-passing machines, inspired by classical graph neural networks, to enhance the power and performance of these quantum algorithms for QUBO tasks was not investigated. This study introduces a novel variational quantum graph optimization algorithm that integrates the message-passing mechanism, which demonstrates significant improvements in performance for solving QUBO problems in terms of resource efficiency and solution precision, compared to QAOA, its variants, and other quantum graph neural networks. Furthermore, in terms of scalability on QUBO tasks, our algorithm shows superior performance compared to QAOA, presenting a substantial advancement in the field of quantum approximate optimization.

Software Code Quality Measurement: Implications from Metric Distributions

Software code quality is a construct with three dimensions: maintainability, reliability, and functionality. Although many firms have incorporated code quality metrics in their operations, evaluating these metrics still lacks consistent standards. We categorized distinct metrics into two types: 1) monotonic metrics that consistently influence code quality; and 2) non-monotonic metrics that lack a consistent relationship with code quality. To consistently evaluate them, we proposed a distribution-based method to get metric scores. Our empirical analysis includes 36,460 high-quality open-source software (OSS) repositories and their raw metrics from SonarQube and CK. The evaluated scores demonstrate great explainability on software adoption. Our work contributes to the multi-dimensional construct of code quality and its metric measurements, which provides practical implications for consistent measurements on both monotonic and non-monotonic metrics.
