CLAP: Closed-Loop Training, Evaluation, and Release Control for Domain Agent Post-training

Domain agents often face noisy business data, uncertain post-training gains, offline/application mismatch, and adapter-release risk. This paper presents CLAP (Closed-Loop Agent Post-training), a closed-loop method that converts business data into structured SFT samples, decision-preference samples, holdout sets, risk diagnostics, and release-gate records. CLAP combines data validation, target/evidence normalization, reward/KL diagnosis, offline gates, and application-chain replay to decide whether an adapter is suitable for the target application chain. On five anonymized manufacturing-scenario batches, QLoRA-style LoRA-SFT yields modest average gains: overall score increases by 0.0098, pass rate by 0.0240, and evidence accuracy by 0.0280, while hallucination and wrong facts decrease. Yet only 3 of 5 batches improve, some batches regress, and GRPO exposes high KL risks. Application-chain replay further shows that RAG is necessary for factual extraction; under the same 3B backbone and 100 replay cases, an application-RAG-oriented LoRA-SFT adapter improves value, core fields, and answer-evidence doc/page matching over base+RAG, but increases latency. These results support managing domain-agent post-training through an integrated data-training-evaluation-release loop rather than relying on training completion or a single offline score.

Quantum state discrimination in a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric system of a single trapped ion

We experimentally demonstrate an unambiguous quantum state discrimination of two qubit states under a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with parity-time-reversal ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry in a single trapped $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ion. We show that any two non-orthogonal states can become orthogonal subjected to time evolution of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian in both the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry preserving and broken regimes, thus can be discriminated deterministically. For a given pair of candidate states, we show that the parameters of the Hamiltonian must be confined in a proper range, within which there exists an optimal choice to realize quantum brachistochrone for the fastest orthogonalization. Besides, we provide a clear geometric picture and some analytic results to understand the main conclusions. Our work shows a promising application of non-Hermitian physics in quantum information processing.

In-situ Doppler-free spectroscopy with pulsed optical fields

We propose a novel pulsed optical field method that alternately switches the pump beam in conventional saturation absorption to time-division multiplex the same probe beam into both probe and reference beams, followed by digital differential processing to achieve deterministic zero-background Doppler-free spectroscopy. This method effectively mitigates Doppler broadening and common-mode optical noise by addressing disturbances such as non-uniform background absorption and environmental noise, thereby offering enhanced accuracy and robustness. Using this technique, we measured the absolute frequency of Yb$^{+}$ isotopes in the $6s^2\ ^{1}S_0\to 6s6p ^{1}P_1$ transition. By employing an error signal derived from the first-derivative demodulated spectrum of $^{174}\mathrm{Yb}^{+}$, we achieved efficient stabilization of a 369.5 nm ultraviolet diode laser, demonstrating a frequency stability of $3 \times 10^{-11}$ over a 1500-second averaging period and a locking point uncertainty of 850 kHz sustained over 10 days. Furthermore, we report the first in-situ observation of Doppler-free Zeeman sub-level spectra, highlighting the precision of this method and its potential application in measuring magnetic field gradients.

An efficient method to generate near-ideal hollow beams of different shapes for box potential of quantum gases

Ultracold quantum gases are usually prepared in conservative traps for quantum simulation experiments. The atomic density inhomogeneity, together with the consequent position-dependent energy and time scales of cold atoms in traditional harmonic traps, makes it difficult to manipulate and detect the sample at a better level. These problems are partially solved by optical box traps of blue-detuned hollow beams. However, generating a high-quality hollow beam with high light efficiency for the box trap is challenging. Here, we present a scheme that combines the fixed optics, including axicons and prisms, to pre-shape a Gaussian beam into a hollow beam, with a digital micromirror device (DMD) to improve the quality of the hollow beam further, providing a nearly ideal optical potential of various shapes for preparing highly homogeneous cold atoms. The highest power-law exponent of potential walls can reach a value over 100, and the light efficiency from a Gaussian to a hollow beam is also improved compared to direct optical shaping by a mask or a DMD. Combined with a one-dimensional optical lattice, a nearly ideal two-dimensional uniform quantum gas with different geometrical boundaries can be prepared for exploring quantum many-body physics to an unprecedented level.

Local probe of the interlayer coupling strength of few-layers SnSe by contact-resonance atomic force microscopy

The interlayer bonding in two dimensional materials is particularly important because it is not only related to their physical and chemical stability but also affects their mechanical, thermal, electronic, optical, and other properties. To address this issue, we report the direct characterization of the interlayer bonding in 2D SnSe using contact-resonance atomic force microscopy in this study. Site specific CR spectroscopy and CR force spectroscopy measurements are performed on both SnSe and its supporting SiO2 substrate comparatively. Based on the cantilever and contact mechanic models, the contact stiffness and vertical Young's modulus are evaluated in comparison with SiO2 as a reference material. The interlayer bonding of SnSe is further analyzed in combination with the semi-analytical model and density functional theory calculations. The direct characterization of interlayer interactions using this nondestructive methodology of CR AFM would facilitate a better understanding of the physical and chemical properties of 2D layered materials, specifically for interlayer intercalation and vertical heterostructures.
