Fast-forwarding quantum algorithms for weakly nonlinear dissipative differential equations and beyond

We study a fast-forwarded quantum algorithm for solving weakly nonlinear dissipative ordinary differential equations. Our approach is a combination of the Carleman embedding technique and the linear combination of Hamiltonian simulation algorithm for linearized systems with fast-forwarded scaling. The complexity of our algorithm does not explicitly depend on the evolution time $T$, thus greatly improving the previous state-of-the-art $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(\sqrt{T})$ to $\mathcal{O}(1)$, and any remaining time dependence enters through the output norm and forcing parameters. We rigorously analyze the performance of this approach by convergence guarantees of the Carleman embedding for time-dependent coefficient matrices and detailed complexity estimates, and improve the realization of the Carleman-embedding-based algorithms by simplifying the post-selection step. In addition, we perform a numerical study on differential equations beyond the weakly nonlinear case, and identify possibility of achieving fast-forwarding scaling for systems with stronger nonlinearity or linear non-resonant effect.

Resonant Untrapping of Active Polymers in Breathing Lattices

In crowded environments, active polymers can trap themselves by winding into long-lived conformations. We show that fluctuations of the surrounding confinement can resonantly accelerate escape from these self-generated traps. Brownian dynamics simulations of a driven semiflexible chain in a breathing obstacle lattice reveal intermittent switching between a compact rotating spiral and an extended translating state. Long-time diffusion increases by up to two orders of magnitude when the environmental fluctuation rate becomes comparable to the spiral's intrinsic relaxation rate. The enhancement persists under stochastic fluctuations, showing that coherent periodic forcing is not required. Activity creates a second optimum: it promotes escape once favorable conformations form, yet at strong drive stabilizes the spiral and suppresses their formation. Resonant untrapping thus provides a general mechanism by which fluctuating environments regulate transport through barriers generated by internal conformational dynamics.

Parallel in-memory wireless computing

Parallel wireless digital communication with ultralow power consumption is critical for emerging edge technologies such as 5G and Internet of Things. However, the physical separation between digital computing units and analogue transmission units in traditional wireless technology leads to high power consumption. Here we report a parallel in-memory wireless computing scheme. The approach combines in-memory computing with wireless communication using memristive crossbar arrays. We show that the system can be used for the radio transmission of a binary stream of 480 bits with a bit error rate of 0. The in-memory wireless computing uses two orders of magnitude less power than conventional technology (based on digital-to-analogue and analogue-to-digital converters). We also show that the approach can be applied to acoustic and optical wireless communications

Large-Angle Bending Transport of Microparticles by Acoustic Half-Bessel Beams

Conventional microparticle transports by light or sound are realized along a straight line. Recently, this limit has been overcome in optics as the growing up of the self-accelerating Airy beams, which are featured by many peculiar properties, e.g., bending propagation, diffraction-free and self-healing. However, the bending angles of Airy beams are rather small since they are only paraxial solutions of the two-dimensional (2D) Helmholtz equation. Here we propose a novel micromanipulation by using acoustic Half-Bessel beams, which are strict solutions of the 2D Helmholtz equation. Compared with that achieved by Airy beams, the bending angle of the particle trajectory attained here is much steeper (exceeding 90o). The large-angle bending transport of microparticles, which is robust to complex scattering environment, enables a wide range of applications from the colloidal to biological sciences.
