A Scalable Trust Discovery Architecture for the Internet of Agents

The Internet of Agents is expected to enable large numbers of autonomous agents to discover, verify, and collaborate with each other across heterogeneous platforms. However, current agent protocols mainly address tool invocation and inter-agent communication, leaving scalable agent registration, trustworthy identification, and capability-oriented discovery largely unresolved. To address this, this paper proposes a scalable trust discovery architecture for the Internet of Agents. The proposed architecture adopts a hierarchical and distributed design consisting of three layers: Agent Root for trusted registry governance, Agent Registry for agent registration and metadata publication, and Agent Resolver for distributed capability discovery and trust-aware resolution. The architecture further introduces a registry-suffix-anchored composite identity scheme, which binds an agent native identifier to a trusted registry suffix to generate a globally discoverable identity. It also incorporates a dual-certificate and multi-level authentication mechanism to strengthen identity trust among agents. We implement a prototype and evaluate it through large-scale agent registration and resolution experiments. The prototype achieves an average registration latency of 58ms and an average discovery latency of 25ms, and it supports more than 19,000 registration requests per second and more than 29,000 agent discovery requests per second. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed architecture, providing a practical approach toward scalable and identity-trusted agent ecosystems in the Internet of Agents.

Weakly Driven and Finite Detuning Boundary Time Crystals Enabled by Low-Dissipation Dynamical Channels

Spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry in driven-dissipative systems gives rise to boundary time crystals (BTCs), characterized by persistent oscillations sustained by coherent driving and collective dissipation. Conventional BTCs, however, typically require strong driving and exact atom-drive resonance, imposing stringent constraints on their realization. Here we consider two atomic ensembles coupled to a common Markovian reservoir and show that shared dissipation organizes dissipation-free and low-dissipation modes into dynamically accessible low-dissipation channels, enabling BTCs under weak driving and finite detuning. Finite detuning further selects a unique stable limit cycle from an initial-state-dependent family of oscillatory trajectories. Our results establish low-dissipation dynamical channels as a route to robust BTCs under relaxed driving and resonance conditions.

Tikhonov-Regularized Second-Order Primal-Dual Dynamics for Convex-Concave Bilinear Saddle Point Problems

This paper develops a Lyapunov-based coefficient-compatible framework for a class of second-order primal-dual dynamical systems with Tikhonov regularization. Unlike existing accelerated inertial primal-dual dynamics, whose analyses are typically carried out under prescribed damping profiles, the proposed framework characterizes the interplay among the viscous damping coefficient, the time-scaling coefficient, the linear extrapolation parameter, and the Tikhonov regularization parameter through differential compatibility conditions, thereby accommodating time-varying coefficients beyond prescribed damping profiles. Within this framework, we investigate two cases in which the Tikhonov regularization parameter decays to zero at different rates. When the Tikhonov regularization parameter decays to zero relatively rapidly, the fast convergence rate of the primal-dual gap is preserved, whereas a slower decay rate yields refined asymptotic convergence estimates. We further show that a sufficiently slow decay ensures strong convergence of the trajectories to the minimum-norm saddle point. To establish the latter property, we introduce a moving-saddle Lyapunov framework centered at the instantaneous regularized saddle point and derive verifiable coefficient conditions ensuring the required tracking behavior. Finally, three numerical examples are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

Bound state in the continuum and dynamics via phase modulation in giant-atom waveguide setups

Giant atoms, which couple to a waveguide through multiple spatially separated connection points beyond the dipole approximation, provide a versatile route for quantum information processing based on interference-induced bound states in the continuum (BICs). While multi-giant-atom architectures are being developed toward giant-atom quantum networks, the role of direct coupling between the giant atoms, in particular the associated coupling phase, in atomic dynamics remains insufficiently understood. Here we take a first step toward addressing this issue by studying a two-giant-atom waveguide-QED model. We show that the coupling phase can be used to control both the number of BICs and their profiles for both of photon and atoms. More interestingly, the presence of BICs gives rise to a variety of dynamical behaviors, providing an effective mechanism for tailoring quantum-state evolution in giant-atom waveguide-QED systems. Our results highlight coupling-phase engineering as a useful tool for controlling interference, bound states, and quantum dynamics in nonlocal light--matter interfaces.

Convergence Analysis of Hessian-Damped Tikhonov Regularized Dynamics with Oscillation Control for Convex-Concave Bilinear Saddle Point Problems

In this paper, we propose a class of general second-order primal-dual dynamical systems with Tikhonov regularization and Hessian-driven damping for solving convex-concave bilinear saddle point problems. The proposed dynamical system incorporates five general time-varying terms: viscous damping, time scaling, extrapolation, Tikhonov regularization, and Hessian-driven damping parameters. Under suitable parametric conditions, we analyze the asymptotic convergence properties of the dynamical system by constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions. Specifically, we obtain the convergence rate of the primal-dual gap and the boundedness of trajectories in the proposed dynamical system, and provide some integral estimates. Furthermore, we theoretically prove that the trajectories generated by the dynamical system converge strongly to the minimum-norm solution of the saddle point problem, and fully demonstrate that Hessian-driven damping can effectively alleviate oscillations. Finally, numerical experiments are conducted to verify the validity of the above theoretical results.

Bridging Generation and Training: A Systematic Review of Quality Issues in LLMs for Code

Large language models (LLMs) frequently generate defective outputs in code generation tasks, ranging from logical bugs to security vulnerabilities. While these generation failures are often treated as model-level limitations, empirical evidence increasingly traces their root causes to imperfections within the training corpora. Yet, the specific mechanisms linking training data quality issues to generated code quality issues remain largely unmapped. This paper presents a systematic literature review of 114 primary studies to investigate how training data quality issues propagate into code generation. We establish a unified taxonomy that categorizes generated code quality issues across nine dimensions and training data quality issues into code and non-code attributes. Based on this taxonomy, we formalize a causal framework detailing 18 typical propagation mapping mechanisms. Furthermore, we synthesize state-of-the-art detection and mitigation techniques across the data, model, and generation lifecycles. The reviewed literature reveals a clear methodological shift: quality assurance is transitioning from reactive, heuristic-based post-generation filtering toward proactive, data-centric governance and closed-loop repair. Finally, we identify open challenges and outline research directions for developing reliable LLMs for code through integrated data curation and continuous evaluation.

Quantum state preparation and transfer based on the bound state in the doublon continuum

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have attracted intense interest, yet their many-particle counterparts remain largely unexplored in waveguide quantum electrodynamics. We identify and characterize a bound state embedded in the doublon continuum (BIDC) that emerges when four atoms couple to a coupled-resonator waveguide with strong on-site interaction. Exploiting this interaction-enabled BIDC, we show that (i) a distant, four-atom entangled state can be prepared with high fidelity, and (ii) quantum entangled states can be coherently transferred between spatially separated nodes. Our results establish a scalable mechanism for multi-particle state generation and routing in waveguide platforms, opening a route to interaction-protected quantum communication with many-particle BICs.

Physics-Informed 3D Atomic Reconstruction and Dynamics of Free-Standing Graphene from Single Low-Dose TEM Images

Resolving the three-dimensional (3D) atomic geometry of free-standing graphene in real time is essential for understanding how intrinsic rippling governs its electronic properties. However, the low electron doses required to mitigate radiation damage impose severe signal-to-noise constraints that limit conventional reconstruction methods. Here, we present a physics-informed computational framework that reconstructs 3D atomic coordinates of single-layer graphene from individual low-dose transmission electron microscopy (TEM) frames (8x10^3 e-/Ang^2, 1 ms temporal resolution). The approach combines simulated annealing optimisation with molecular dynamics regularisation, achieving sub-angstrom out-of-plane accuracy (sigma_z < 0.45 Ang), validated against ground-truth simulations. A Kullback-Leibler divergence-based calibration aligns the forward model with experimental image statistics, reducing systematic bias. Applied to high-speed time-series data, the framework enables simultaneous extraction of real-time ripple dynamics, strain tensors, surface curvature, bond-length distributions, and density functional theory (DFT)-derived electron localisation functions (ELF). We establish quantitative relationships linking local geometry, strain, and bond-length variations to electron localisation, demonstrating that sub-angstrom structural fluctuations drive spatially localised, millisecond-scale electronic modulation. A critical dose threshold is identified below which structural information becomes irrecoverable, providing practical guidance for experimental design. The framework is broadly applicable to beam-sensitive two-dimensional materials.

WenetSpeech-Wu: Datasets, Benchmarks, and Models for a Unified Chinese Wu Dialect Speech Processing Ecosystem

Speech processing for low-resource dialects remains a fundamental challenge in developing inclusive and robust speech technologies. Despite its linguistic significance and large speaker population, the Wu dialect of Chinese has long been hindered by the lack of large-scale speech data, standardized evaluation benchmarks, and publicly available models. In this work, we present WenetSpeech-Wu, the first large-scale, multi-dimensionally annotated open-source speech corpus for the Wu dialect, comprising approximately 8,000 hours of diverse speech data. Building upon this dataset, we introduce WenetSpeech-Wu-Bench, the first standardized and publicly accessible benchmark for systematic evaluation of Wu dialect speech processing, covering automatic speech recognition (ASR), Wu-to-Mandarin translation, speaker attribute prediction, speech emotion recognition, text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis, and instruction-following TTS (instruct TTS). Furthermore, we release a suite of strong open-source models trained on WenetSpeech-Wu, establishing competitive performance across multiple tasks and empirically validating the effectiveness of the proposed dataset. Together, these contributions lay the foundation for a comprehensive Wu dialect speech processing ecosystem, and we open-source proposed datasets, benchmarks, and models to support future research on dialectal speech intelligence.

Research on Mechanical Properties and Deformation-Fracture Energy Consumption Characteristics of Plateau Frozen Rocks

The exploitation of mineral resources in plateau regions is confronted with critical challenges including low blasting efficiency, excessive energy consumption,and compromised operational safety when dealing with low-temperature water-bearing frozen rock masses.This study systematically investigates the dynamic-static mechanical properties,deformation-fracture behaviors,and energy consumption characteristics of plateau frozen sandstone under the coupled effects of temperature and moisture content (5%-15%).The research methodology integrates field sampling, low-pressure low-temperature simulation tests, graded impact loading tests, and numerical inversion analysis. Results demonstrate that freezing significantly enhances the dynamic strength and brittleness of saturated sandstone.The pore structure undergoes substantial evolution with decreasing temperature, with the porosity increasing by 63.15%.Based on PFC3D microscopic simulations, the mechanism of frost heave damage and the regulatory effect of water-ice phase transition on rock mechanical behaviors are elucidated.A quantitative analysis method for energy dissipation is proposed, revealing that the energy absorption increment of frozen rocks is higher than that of room-temperature samples.The findings provide a theoretical basis and technical support for optimizing blasting parameters, realizing directional energy release,and promoting green construction of frozen rock masses in high-altitude areas.

Bound state in the continuum and multiple atom state transfer applications in a waveguide QED setup

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have been extensively exploited to enhance light--matter interactions in metamaterials, yet their emergence and utility in multi-atom waveguide platforms remain far less explored. Here we study atom--waveguide-dressed BICs in a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide, where two spatially separated atomic arrays couple to distinct resonators with time-dependent strengths. We show that these BICs support a standing-wave photonic mode and enable the transfer of an arbitrary unknown quantum state between the two arrays with fidelities exceeding $99\%$. The protocol remains robust against both disorder and intrinsic dissipation. Our results establish BICs as long-lived resources for high-fidelity quantum information processing in waveguide-QED architectures.

Enantiodetection in a cavity QED setup with finite chiral molecules

We investigate enantiodetection for both a single cyclic three-level chiral molecule and finite ensembles of such molecules by monitoring the steady-state intracavity photon number in a cavity-QED platform. Our scheme exploits the intrinsic global $π$-phase difference between opposite enantiomers to engineer destructive and/or constructive interference pathways, enabling a direct readout of enantiomeric excess with an error below $5\%$. To capture mesoscopic many-molecule effects beyond mean field while avoiding brute-force master-equation simulations, we employ a generalized discrete truncated Wigner approximation, which is well suited for systems with many yet finite molecules. These results pave the way for implementing enantiodetection in realistic quantum-optical settings.

Giant emitter magnetometer

Leveraging the sensitive dependence of a giant atom's radiation rate on its frequency [A. F. Kockum, $et~al$., Phys. Rev. A 90, 013837 (2014)], we propose an effective magnetometer model based on single giant emitter. In this model, the emitter's frequency is proportional to the applied bias magnetic field. The self-interference effect causes the slope of the dissipation spectrum to vary linearly with the number of emitter-coupling points. The giant emitter magnetometer achieves a sensitivity as high as $10^{-8}-10^{-9}\,{\rm T/\sqrt{Hz}}$, demonstrating the significant advantages of the self-interference effect compared to small emitters. We hope our proposal will expand the applications of giant emitters in precision measurement and magnetometry.

Rabi oscillation and fractional population via the bound states in the continuum in a giant atom waveguide QED setup

We study the dynamics of two giant atoms interacting with a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) beyond the Markovian approximation. The distinct atomic configurations determine the number of bound states in the continuum (BIC), leading to different dynamical behaviors. Our results show that when the system supports two BICs, Rabi oscillations dominate the dynamics, whereas fractional population dynamics emerge in the presence of a single BIC. The connection between these dynamics and the existence of BICs is further verified by analyzing the photonic distribution in the CRW during time evolution. These findings challenge the conventional notion that the environment always induces dissipation and decoherence. Instead, the bound states in the CRW-emitters coupled system can suppress complete dissipation of the emitters. This work offers an effective approach for controlling dissipative dynamics in open quantum systems.

Phase-controlled bound states in giant atom waveguide QED setup

We find the phase-controlled bound state out of the continuum~(BOC) and bound state in the continuum~(BIC) in an artificial giant atom dressed one-dimensional photonic waveguide where the giant atom couples to the waveguide via two distant sites. We obtain the existence condition of the BOC as well as the frequency and the photonic distribution in the BIC. More interestingly, we predict the quantum beats in the atomic and photonic dynamical evolution, which is induced by the oscillation between the BIC and the BOCs. These findings provide an approach to manipulate the waveguide system via the bound states.

Research on the identification of the two-phase flow pattern of gas-liquid in a vertical rising tube based on BP neural networks

Research on the identification of the two-phase flow pattern of gas-liquid in a vertical rising pipe is of great significance for improving the production capacity and production efficiency of the petrochemical industry. In order to address the problem of the accuracy of the identification of the two-phase flow pattern of gas-liquid, this paper proposes a method for identifying the two-phase flow pattern of gas-liquid in a vertical rising pipe based on BP neural networks. In the study, the Fluent software was used to numerically simulate different two-phase flow velocities. The pipes were all constructed as vertical rising pipes with an inner diameter of 20 mm and a length of 2000 mm. Three flow pattern cloud diagrams and their related data were obtained for bubble flow, elastic flow, and annular flow. The gas content of the three flow types was used to collect data to form a database. The BP neural network was used to classify and identify the three flow patterns, but the result was only 90.73%. We again used the Adam algorithm to optimise the BP neural network and regularise it, and the flow pattern recognition result reached 96.68%, which was a better recognition

Alternative Telescopic Displacement: An Efficient Multimodal Alignment Method

In the realm of multimodal data integration, feature alignment plays a pivotal role. This paper introduces an innovative approach to feature alignment that revolutionizes the fusion of multimodal information. Our method employs a novel iterative process of telescopic displacement and expansion of feature representations across different modalities, culminating in a coherent unified representation within a shared feature space. This sophisticated technique demonstrates a remarkable ability to capture and leverage complex crossmodal interactions at the highest levels of abstraction. As a result, we observe significant enhancements in the performance of multimodal learning tasks. Through rigorous comparative analysis, we establish the superiority of our approach over existing multimodal fusion paradigms across a diverse array of applications. Comprehensive empirical evaluations conducted on multifaceted datasets encompassing temporal sequences, visual data, and textual information provide compelling evidence that our method achieves unprecedented benchmarks in the field. This work not only advances the state of the art in multimodal learning but also opens new avenues for exploring the synergies between disparate data modalities in complex analytical scenarios.

Sound Wave Manipulation Based on Valley Acoustic Interferometers

Topological acoustics provides new opportunities for materials with unprecedented functions. In this work, we report a design of topological valley acoustic interferometers by Y-shaped valley sonic crystals. By tight-bounding calculation and experimental demonstration, we successfully tune the acoustic energy partition rate by configuring the channel. An analytical theory proposed to explain the transmission property matches well with experimental observations. An additional π Berry phase is verified to accumulate circling along the shape-independent topological valley acoustic interferometer, unique in the pseudospin half systems. Based on the spectral oscillation originating from the accumulated dynamic phase and π Berry phase, a simplified method to measure acoustic valley interface dispersion is explored, which overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional fast Fourier transform method and improves the measuring efficiency by simply analyzing the peaks and dips of the measured transmission spectrum. Moreover, an effective approach to tuning its transmissions, as well as the spectral line shapes proposed and realized by the local geometry design of the interferometer, exhibits strong tunability under an unchanged physical mechanism. Our work opens an avenue to design future acoustic devices with the function of sound wave manipulation based on the physical mechanism of interference and Berry phase.
