Femtosecond low-threshold all-optical switching enabled by giant broadband optical nonlinearity from heteroatom doping

Ultrafast all-optical switching (AOS) is pivotal for advancing integrated photonic devices, from high-speed photonic information processing to next generation all-optical computing and communication networks. However, conventional nonlinear materials suffer from sluggish response time, high power threshold, weak and narrow-bandwidth optical nonlinearities, critically limiting their viability. Here, we report a heteroatom engineering strategy to overcome these limitations by designing zero-dimensional nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) with nonlinear optical performance far exceeding the state-of-the-art. Leveraging spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM) and ultrafast pump-probe technique, we first demonstrate an all-in-one AOS platform, where femtosecond laser pulses serve dual roles as control and signal beams. The AOS simultaneously realizes ultrafast response time (520 fs), ultralow threshold energy (2.2 Wcm-2), and giant nonlinear refraction indexes (10-5 cm2/W) in the wide spectral range (400-1064 nm), yielding performance surpassing state-of-the-art nonlinear carbon materials (i.e. carbon nanotube) by orders of magnitude. Spectroscopic and bandgap analyses attribute these exotic performances to enhanced n-pi interaction enabled by nitrogen doping, which amplifies nonlinear polarization dynamics. Crucially, ultrafast fluorescence spectroscopy reveals a large two-photon absorption cross-section of the N-CQDs, challenging the conventional cognition that broadband SSPM necessitates single-photon excitation. This discovery unveils a multi-channel AOS rooted in synergistic single-photon and two-photon processes.. This work demonstrates a new paradigm for achieving ultrafast, broadband, and energy-efficient AOS by heteroatom doping engineering.

Endoscopic Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy through a fiber microprobe

Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a powerful analytical method for not only the chemical identification of solid, liquid, and gas species, but also the quantification of their concentration. However, the chemical quantification capability of FTIR is significantly hindered when the analyte is surrounded by a strong IR absorbing medium, such as liquid solutions. To overcome this limit, here we develop an IR fiber microprobe that can be inserted into liquid medium, and obtain full FTIR spectra at points of interest. To benchmark this endoscopic FTIR method, we insert the microprobe into bulk water covering a ZnSe substrate and measure the IR transmittance of water as a function of the probe-substrate distance. The obtained vibrational modes, overall transmittance vs z profiles, quantitative absorption coefficients, and micro z-section IR transmittance spectra are all consistent with the standard IR absorption properties of water. The results pave the way for endoscopic chemical profiling inside bulk liquid solutions, promising for applications in many biological, chemical, and electrochemical systems.

Global Confidence Degree Based Graph Neural Network for Financial Fraud Detection

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are widely used in financial fraud detection due to their excellent ability on handling graph-structured financial data and modeling multilayer connections by aggregating information of neighbors. However, these GNN-based methods focus on extracting neighbor-level information but neglect a global perspective. This paper presents the concept and calculation formula of Global Confidence Degree (GCD) and thus designs GCD-based GNN (GCD-GNN) that can address the challenges of camouflage in fraudulent activities and thus can capture more global information. To obtain a precise GCD for each node, we use a multilayer perceptron to transform features and then the new features and the corresponding prototype are used to eliminate unnecessary information. The GCD of a node evaluates the typicality of the node and thus we can leverage GCD to generate attention values for message aggregation. This process is carried out through both the original GCD and its inverse, allowing us to capture both the typical neighbors with high GCD and the atypical ones with low GCD. Extensive experiments on two public datasets demonstrate that GCD-GNN outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, highlighting the effectiveness of GCD. We also design a lightweight GCD-GNN (GCD-GNN$_{light}$) that also outperforms the baselines but is slightly weaker than GCD-GNN on fraud detection performance. However, GCD-GNN$_{light}$ obviously outperforms GCD-GNN on convergence and inference speed.

Real-time parameter estimation for two-qubit systems based on hybrid control

In this paper, we consider the real-time parameter estimation problem for a ZZ-coupled system composed of two qubits in the presence of spontaneous emission. To enhance the estimation precision of the coupling coefficient, we first propose two different control schemes, where the first one is feedback control based on quantum-jump detection, and the second one is hybrid control combining Markovian feedback and Hamiltonian control. The simulation results show that compared with free evolution, both control schemes can improve parameter precision and extend system coherence time. Next, on the basis of the two control schemes, we propose a practical single-parameter quantum recovery protocol based on Bayesian estimation theory. In this protocol, by employing batch-style adaptive measurement rules, parameter recovery is conducted to verify the effectiveness of both control schemes.

Transaction Fraud Detection via Spatial-Temporal-Aware Graph Transformer

How to obtain informative representations of transactions and then perform the identification of fraudulent transactions is a crucial part of ensuring financial security. Recent studies apply Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to the transaction fraud detection problem. Nevertheless, they encounter challenges in effectively learning spatial-temporal information due to structural limitations. Moreover, few prior GNN-based detectors have recognized the significance of incorporating global information, which encompasses similar behavioral patterns and offers valuable insights for discriminative representation learning. Therefore, we propose a novel heterogeneous graph neural network called Spatial-Temporal-Aware Graph Transformer (STA-GT) for transaction fraud detection problems. Specifically, we design a temporal encoding strategy to capture temporal dependencies and incorporate it into the graph neural network framework, enhancing spatial-temporal information modeling and improving expressive ability. Furthermore, we introduce a transformer module to learn local and global information. Pairwise node-node interactions overcome the limitation of the GNN structure and build up the interactions with the target node and long-distance ones. Experimental results on two financial datasets compared to general GNN models and GNN-based fraud detectors demonstrate that our proposed method STA-GT is effective on the transaction fraud detection task.

Transaction Fraud Detection via an Adaptive Graph Neural Network

Many machine learning methods have been proposed to achieve accurate transaction fraud detection, which is essential to the financial security of individuals and banks. However, most existing methods leverage original features only or require manual feature engineering. They lack the ability to learn discriminative representations from transaction data. Moreover, criminals often commit fraud by imitating cardholders' behaviors, which causes the poor performance of existing detection models. In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Sampling and Aggregation-based Graph Neural Network (ASA-GNN) that learns discriminative representations to improve the performance of transaction fraud detection. A neighbor sampling strategy is performed to filter noisy nodes and supplement information for fraudulent nodes. Specifically, we leverage cosine similarity and edge weights to adaptively select neighbors with similar behavior patterns for target nodes and then find multi-hop neighbors for fraudulent nodes. A neighbor diversity metric is designed by calculating the entropy among neighbors to tackle the camouflage issue of fraudsters and explicitly alleviate the over-smoothing phenomena. Extensive experiments on three real financial datasets demonstrate that the proposed method ASA-GNN outperforms state-of-the-art ones.

Silicon photonic-electronic neural network for fibre nonlinearity compensation

In optical communication systems, fibre nonlinearity is the major obstacle in increasing the transmission capacity. Typically, digital signal processing techniques and hardware are used to deal with optical communication signals, but increasing speed and computational complexity create challenges for such approaches. Highly parallel, ultrafast neural networks using photonic devices have the potential to ease the requirements placed on the digital signal processing circuits by processing the optical signals in the analogue domain. Here we report a silicon photonice-lectronic neural network for solving fibre nonlinearity compensation of submarine optical fibre transmission systems. Our approach uses a photonic neural network based on wavelength-division multiplexing built on a CMOS-compatible silicon photonic platform. We show that the platform can be used to compensate optical fibre nonlinearities and improve the signal quality (Q)-factor in a 10,080 km submarine fibre communication system. The Q-factor improvement is comparable to that of a software-based neural network implemented on a 32-bit graphic processing unit-assisted workstation. Our reconfigurable photonic-electronic integrated neural network promises to address pressing challenges in high-speed intelligent signal processing.

Height-Dependent LoS Probability Model for A2G MmWave Communications under Built-up Scenarios

Based on the three-dimensional propagation characteristic under built-up scenarios, a height-dependent line-of-sight (LoS) probability model for air-to-ground (A2G) millimeter wave (mmWave) communications is proposed in this paper. With comprehensive considerations of scenario factors, i.e., building height distribution, building width, building space, and the heights of transceivers, this paper upgrades the prediction method of International Telecommunication Union-Radio (ITU-R) standard to both low altitude and high altitude cases. In order to speed up the LoS probability prediction, an approximate parametric model is also developed based on the theoretical expression. The simulation results based on ray-tracing (RT) method show that the proposed model has good consistency with existing models at the low altitude. However, it has better performance at the high altitude. The new model can be used for the A2G channel modeling and performance analysis such as cell coverage, outage probability, and bit error rate of A2G communication systems.
