Telecom-Integrated Photonic Memory Operating Near the Mechanical Ground State

Scalable quantum networks require quantum memories that are chip-integrated, telecom-band compatible, and capable of flexible retrieval. Nanofabricated mechanical resonators meet these criteria. They offer independent tunability of optical and mechanical modes, long-lived phonon states, and design flexibility beyond atomic systems, making them strong candidates for practical integrated quantum memory. Here, we demonstrate an on-chip, absorptive optomechanical memory for telecom-band photons, based on optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) and operating near the mechanical ground state. The device stores telecom-band photons, demonstrating compatibility with external photon sources at the few-photon level, while enabling on-demand retrieval. By placing the device in a dilution refrigerator at 20 mK and tailoring the control field to suppress optical heating, we achieve a remarkably low phonon occupancy of just 0.32 during the storage process. Our results lay the groundwork for scalable, phonon-based quantum memory devices and open new avenues for integrating mechanical systems into practical quantum network architectures.

Multi-Decoder OneRec: Controllable Generative Retrieval for Multi-Objective Industrial Recommendation

Industrial recommender systems build candidate pools by assigning explicit quotas to objective-specific retrieval routes. This design offers quota control but increasingly fragments modeling, training, and serving as the route set grows. Semantic-ID-based generative retrieval provides a unified alternative, yet a single decoder entangles objective policies and limits candidate complementarity. We propose Multi-Decoder OneRec, a controllable framework that combines shared representations, isolated objective adaptation, and coordinated decoding. All objectives share a user-context module and the General Decoder, while each objective adds an isolated, parameter-efficient LoRA expert. During training, exposure-sample next-token prediction (NTP) updates the shared base, target-filtered NTP updates the event-based experts, and Kullback-Leibler (KL)-regularized policy optimization updates the Watch-time expert; gradient routing isolates these updates, and the General Decoder supplies a stop-gradient reference. At inference, explicit route quotas allocate the fixed budget and Multi-Decoder Constrained Beam Search reduces cross-route overlap. We publicly release Kwai26, a large-scale multi-objective benchmark with 1.31 billion raw item-level records, 31.85 million Item-ID entries, and 25.03 million items with valid Semantic IDs, together with predefined splits and an evaluation protocol. Under the same 512-item retrieval budget, Multi-Decoder OneRec improves over the single-decoder OneRec baseline by 1.69%-5.62% across four Recall@512 metrics. In a production A/B test, it yields relative gains of 0.37% in app usage time per device, 0.19% in Day-7 retained users, 0.19% in devices with at least one share, and 2.09% in new-content Cold-Start. These results show that generative retrieval can combine shared modeling with objective-specific control and complementary candidate generation.

SoftNav: Injecting 3D Scene Tokens into VLMs for Embodied Navigation

In goal-directed embodied navigation, where an agent must locate a specified target in an unseen environment, 3D scene understanding and navigation reasoning must work in concert. Current approaches transmit 3D scene information to vision-language models (VLMs) through text, suggesting a representation gap in our tested configurations; a controlled ablation confirms that direct embedding-level transfer significantly outperforms the evaluated text serialization formats. We introduce SoftNav, which injects entity-level 3D continuous representations -- one token per detected object or frontier -- into a VLM's hidden space as soft tokens through a lightweight projector. With the 3D encoder and VLM frozen, only ~1,200 samples and ~17M trainable parameters are needed. On HM3D-OVON, SoftNav achieves 74.2%/68.3%/66.7% SR across three splits, surpassing all prior methods in both SR and SPL; the same navigation policy transfers zero-shot to GOAT-Bench (67.2% SR), SG3D (47.2% s-SR), and real-world robot deployment without retraining or architectural modification. Injecting 3D scene tokens directly into VLMs bridges the representation gap, enabling transferable navigation with minimal training.

NavCMPO: Critic-Guided MeanFlow Policy Optimization for Adaptive Navigation

End-to-end diffusion-based policies have demonstrated strong performance in mapless visual navigation, but their iterative denoising process introduces substantial inference latency, while behavior cloning limits performance to the quality of expert demonstrations. We present NavCMPO, a two-stage adaptive navigation framework that combines few-step MeanFlow trajectory generation, critic-guided refinement, and reinforcement learning fine-tuning. During pre-training, an obstacle proximity prediction task encourages the visual representation to capture obstacle-aware spatial information. To compensate for the degradation in obstacle avoidance caused by few-step generation, Critic-Guided Trajectory Refinement (CGTR) uses gradients from a critic trained with obstacle-point-cloud supervision to refine intermediate trajectories. During adaptation, the MeanFlow policy is fine-tuned using Proximal Policy Optimization with behavior-cloning regularization, while the critic is updated to accommodate embodiment-specific observation changes. Under a matched training budget on the InternVLA-N1 benchmark, NavCMPO achieves an average success rate of 74.7\%, exceeding the retrained NavDP baseline by 6.4 percentage points, while reducing inference latency from 85\,ms to 60\,ms. Experiments on a Unitree Go2 further demonstrate effective sim-to-real transfer.

Giant Photon Superbunching from Weak Nonlinearity

Photon superbunching, which occurs when the second-order correlation satisfies $g^{(2)}> 2$, is typically associated with strong optical nonlinearities or collective multi-photon emission processes. We predict that extreme superbunching can also arise in systems of weakly-nonlinear photonic cavities, via the creation of a squeezed vacuum through interference engineering by fine-tuning inter-cavity couplings and drive parameters. We present numerical calculations indicating that a system of four photonic resonators containing representative Kerr media can achieve $g^{(2)}(0) = 135$ with a $80\,\text{kHz}$ emission rate. Unlike earlier superbunching schemes, this mechanism is highly compatible with integrated photonic platforms constructed using conventional optical media.

Names Are All You Need: Effective and Safe Regression Test Selection for Python

Regression test selection reduces the cost of regression testing by executing only those tests affected by a code change. Despite extensive study of RTS in statically typed languages, achieving effective and safe RTS in Python is challenging. Python's dynamic typing makes precise call-graph construction difficult, which can cause call-graph-based RTS to miss affected tests. Python's eager importing mechanism, in contrast, renders file-level dependency analysis overly conservative. This paper presents NameRTS, the first Python RTS approach based on fine-grained dependency analysis. NameRTS models a Python program as a bipartite graph of code element nodes and name nodes, with edges capturing definitions and references. RTS is formulated as a reachability problem on this graph: a test is selected if any modified code element is reachable from the names used in that test. This design avoids call-graph construction, enabling a conservative analysis amenable to safety. To control dependency cascades introduced by coarse name matching, NameRTS applies two pruning strategies that leverage prior test executions and context information to refine name matching. To evaluate NameRTS, we construct the first Python RTS dataset with a ground truth indicating which test files are affected by each commit. We compare NameRTS with the best-performing baseline, BabelRTS, an RTS technique based on coarse file-level dependencies. On this benchmark, NameRTS skips 69.90% of test files on average, outperforming BabelRTS by 146.5%. It also reduces end-to-end testing time by 45.59%, yielding a 107.7% improvement over BabelRTS. In terms of safety, NameRTS selects all affected tests for 99.6% of commits, with only rare misses in exceptional cases. In contrast, BabelRTS is safe for 76.6% of commits. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of NameRTS, paving the way for more efficient regression testing in Python.

Integrated time-bin entangled quantum light source on a 4H-SiC microring chip

Integrated time-bin-entangled photon-pair source with cavity-enhanced nonlinear optical processes is essential for quantum information technologies. However, microcavities with a high quality factor inherently introduce a trade-off between generation efficiency and photon bandwidth, which hinders the development of high-speed quantum networks with an integrated source. Here, we address this challenge by optimizing the nonlinearity property of the material and the geometry of the integrated microring resonator with a 4H-silicon carbide platform. Operating at a loaded quality factor of 1.9 $\times$ 10^5 - spectral bandwidth of 1.0 GHz and pumped with 300-ps double pulses separated by 1.25 ns at a repetition rate of 160 MHz, the device achieves a time-bin-entangled photon-pair generation rate of 1.35 $\times$ 10^7 s^-1 mW^-2. A raw visibility of 95.55 $\pm$ 0.18% is measured, showing a violation of Bell's inequality by more than 138 standard deviations, and a fidelity of 94.37 $\pm$ 0.22% is obtained by quantum state tomography. These results provide a scalable pathway to an efficient and broadband time-bin entangled quantum light source, overcoming intrinsic limitations of cavity-based designs and advancing integrated platforms for future quantum communication networks.

Global Koszul Duality: Differential Graded Cocommutative Coalgebras and Curved Lie Algebras

We give a combinatorial model structure to the category of, not necessarily conilpotent, differential graded (dg) cocommutative coalgebras and an $\infty$-category structure to the category of curved Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Further, we extend the Harrison and Chevally-Eilenberg functors between dg cocommutative conilpotent coalgebras and dg Lie algebras to these categories and show they form an equivalence of $\infty$-categories.

Rota-Baxter operators on braces, post-braces and the Yang-Baxter equation

Combining the notions of braces and relative Rota-Baxter operators on groups in connection with the Yang-Baxter equation and a factorization theorem of Lie groups from integrable systems, relative Rota-Baxter operators on braces and post-braces are introduced. A relative Rota-Baxter operator on a brace naturally induces a post-brace, and conversely, every post-brace determines a relative Rota-Baxter operator on its sub-adjacent brace. Furthermore, a post-brace yields two Drinfel'd-isomorphic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. As a special case, {\it enhanced} relative Rota-Baxter operators give rise to matched pairs of braces. Focusing on enhanced Rota-Baxter operators on two-sided braces, a corresponding factorization theorem is established. Examples are provided from the two-sided brace associated with the three-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra.

A High-Speed Capable Spherical Robot

This paper designs a new spherical robot structure capable of supporting high-speed motion at up to 10 m/s. Building upon a single-pendulum-driven spherical robot, the design incorporates a momentum wheel with an axis aligned with the secondary pendulum, creating a novel spherical robot structure. Practical experiments with the physical prototype have demonstrated that this new spherical robot can achieve stable high-speed motion through simple decoupled control, which was unattainable with the original structure. The spherical robot designed for high-speed motion not only increases speed but also significantly enhances obstacle-crossing performance and terrain robustness.

Braided dynamical groups, the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation and related structures

We introduce the notion of a braided dynamical group which is a matched pair of dynamical groups satisfying extra conditions. It is shown to give a solution of the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation and at the same time a braided groupoid, thereby integrating the approaches of Andruskiewitsch and Matsumoto-Shimizu respectively that use these two notions to produce quiver-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. We pursue this connection further by relative Rota-Baxter operators on dynamical groups, which give rise to matched pairs of dynamical groups. As the derived structures of relative Rota-Baxter operators on dynamical groups, dynamical post-groups are introduced and are shown to be equivalent to braided dynamical groups. Finally, skew-braces are generalized to dynamical skew-braces as another equivalent notion of braided dynamical groups.

Symbols from Bi-Projections

We initiate a systematic framework for the analysis of analytic properties of finite Feynman integrals that are multiple polylogarithms. Based on the Feynman parameter representation in complex projective space, we make a complete classification of logarithmic singularities of the integral on its principal branch, by what we call touching configurations -- a geometric relationship between the integrand singularity and linear subspaces tied to boundary elements of the integral contour. These on the one hand indicate first entries of the symbol of the integral, and on the other hand induce a special set of new integrals that we call elementary discontinuities. These elementary discontinuities are derived through an operation called bi-projection, and actual discontinuities of the integral across logarithmic branch cuts are their linear combinations. By recursively applying the same analysis to the induced integrals one can fully construct the symbol of the original integral. We explicitly show how this analysis works at one loop in a massless hexagon and a box with two massive and two massless loop propagators. This framework may naturally extend to higher-loop integrals.

Quasi-triangular and factorizable dendriform D-bialgebras

In this paper, we introduce the notions of quasi-triangular and factorizable dendriform D-bialgebras. A factorizable dendriform D-bialgebra leads to a factorization of the underlying dendriform algebra. We show that the dendriform double of a dendriform D-bialgebra naturally enjoys a factorizable dendriform D-bialgebra structure. Moreover, we introduce the notion of relative Rota-Baxter operators of nonzero weights on dendriform algebras and find that every quasi-triangular dendriform D-bialgebra can give rise to a relative Rota-Baxter operator of weight 1. Then we introduce the notion of quadratic Rota-Baxter dendriform algebras as the Rota-Baxter characterization of factorizable dendriform D-bialgebras, and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between factorizable dendriform D-bialgebras and quadratic Rota-Baxter dendriform algebras. Finally, we show that a quadratic Rota-Baxter dendriform algebra can give rise to an isomorphism from the regular representation to the coregular representation of a Rota-Baxter dendriform algebra.

GoLF-NRT: Integrating Global Context and Local Geometry for Few-Shot View Synthesis

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have transformed novel view synthesis by modeling scene-specific volumetric representations directly from images. While generalizable NeRF models can generate novel views across unknown scenes by learning latent ray representations, their performance heavily depends on a large number of multi-view observations. However, with limited input views, these methods experience significant degradation in rendering quality. To address this limitation, we propose GoLF-NRT: a Global and Local feature Fusion-based Neural Rendering Transformer. GoLF-NRT enhances generalizable neural rendering from few input views by leveraging a 3D transformer with efficient sparse attention to capture global scene context. In parallel, it integrates local geometric features extracted along the epipolar line, enabling high-quality scene reconstruction from as few as 1 to 3 input views. Furthermore, we introduce an adaptive sampling strategy based on attention weights and kernel regression, improving the accuracy of transformer-based neural rendering. Extensive experiments on public datasets show that GoLF-NRT achieves state-of-the-art performance across varying numbers of input views, highlighting the effectiveness and superiority of our approach.

Phase space of a Poisson algebra and the induced Pre-Poisson bialgebra

In this paper, we first introduce the notion of a phase space of a Poisson algebra, and show that a Poisson algebra has a phase space if and only if it is sub-adjacent to a pre-Poisson algebra. Moreover, we introduce the notion of Manin triples of pre-Poisson algebras and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between Manin triples of pre-Poisson algebras and phase spaces of Poisson algebras. Then we introduce the notion of pre-Poisson bialgebras, which is equivalent to Manin triples of pre-Poisson algebras. We study coboundary pre-Poisson bialgebras, which leads to an analogue of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. Furthermore, we introduce the notions of quasi-triangular and factorizable pre-Poisson bialgebras as special cases. A quasi-triangular pre-Poisson bialgebra gives rise to a relative Rota-Baxter operator of weight $1$. The double of a pre-Poisson bialgebra enjoys a natural factorizable pre-Poisson bialgebra structure. Finally, we introduce the notion of quadratic Rota-Baxter pre-Poisson algebras and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between quadratic Rota-Baxter pre-Poisson algebras and factorizable pre-Poisson bialgebras. Based on this construction, we give a phase space for a Rota-Baxter symplectic Poisson algebra.

Zinbiel bialgebras, relative Rota-Baxter operators and the related Yang-Baxter Equation

In this paper, we first introduce the notion of a Zinbiel bialgebra and show that Zinbiel bialgebras, matched pairs of Zinbiel algebras and Manin triples of Zinbiel algebras are equivalent. Then we study the coboundary Zinbiel bialgebras, which leads to an analogue of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. Moreover, we introduce the notions of quasi-triangular and factorizable Zinbiel bialgebras as special cases. A quasi-triangular Zinbiel bialgebra can give rise to a relative Rota-Baxter operator of weight $-1$. A factorizable Zinbiel bialgebra can give a factorization of the underlying Zinbiel algebra. As an example, we define the Zinbiel double of a Zinbiel bialgebra, which enjoys a natural factorizable Zinbiel bialgebra structure. Finally, we introduce the notion of quadratic Rota-Baxter Zinbiel algebras, as the Rota-Baxter characterization of factorizable Zinbiel bialgebras. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between quadratic Rota-Baxter Zinbiel algebras and factorizable Zinbiel bialgebras.

Balancing Multi-Target Semi-Supervised Medical Image Segmentation with Collaborative Generalist and Specialists

Despite the promising performance achieved by current semi-supervised models in segmenting individual medical targets, many of these models suffer a notable decrease in performance when tasked with the simultaneous segmentation of multiple targets. A vital factor could be attributed to the imbalanced scales among different targets: during simultaneously segmenting multiple targets, large targets dominate the loss, leading to small targets being misclassified as larger ones. To this end, we propose a novel method, which consists of a Collaborative Generalist and several Specialists, termed CGS. It is centered around the idea of employing a specialist for each target class, thus avoiding the dominance of larger targets. The generalist performs conventional multi-target segmentation, while each specialist is dedicated to distinguishing a specific target class from the remaining target classes and the background. Based on a theoretical insight, we demonstrate that CGS can achieve a more balanced training. Moreover, we develop cross-consistency losses to foster collaborative learning between the generalist and the specialists. Lastly, regarding their intrinsic relation that the target class of any specialized head should belong to the remaining classes of the other heads, we introduce an inter-head error detection module to further enhance the quality of pseudo-labels. Experimental results on three popular benchmarks showcase its superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Are "Solved Issues" in SWE-bench Really Solved Correctly? An Empirical Study

Automated issue solving aims to resolve real-world issues in software repositories. The most popular benchmarks for automated issue solving are SWE-bench and its human-filtered subset SWE-bench Verified. These benchmarks leverage testing to validate generated patches. However, because testing is rarely exhaustive, a patch may pass the tests but nevertheless fail to match the developers' expectations. Unfortunately, it is currently unclear to what extent evaluations performed with SWE-bench suffer from such plausible but incorrect patches. This paper presents an in-depth empirical study of the correctness of plausible patches generated by three state-of-the-art issue-solving tools evaluated on SWE-bench Verified. We extensively test and inspect generated patches, and compare them against human-written ground truth patches. The core of our methodology is a novel technique PatchDiff for differential patch testing, which automatically exposes behavioral discrepancies between two patches. Our findings reveal critical weaknesses in SWE-bench's patch validation mechanism, which causes 7.8% of all patches to count as correct while failing the developer-written test suite. Moreover, our novel automated technique reveals that even more (29.6%) plausible patches induce different behavior than the ground truth patches. These behavioral differences are often due to similar, but divergent implementations (46.8%) and due to generated patches that adapt more behavior than the ground truth patches (27.3%). Our manual inspection shows that 28.6% of behaviorally divergent patches are certainly incorrect. Combined, the different weaknesses lead to an inflation of reported resolution rates by 6.2 absolute percent points. Our findings are a call to arms for more robust and reliable evaluation of issue-solving tools. We envision our automated differential patch testing technique to be useful for this purpose.
