文摘Efficient implementation of fundamental matrix operations on quantum computers,such as matrix products and Hadamard operations,holds significant potential for accelerating machine learning algorithms.A critical prerequisite for quantum implementations is the effective encoding of classical data into quantum states.We propose two quantum computing frameworks for preparing the distinct encoded states corresponding to matrix operations,including the matrix product,matrix sum,matrix Hadamard product and division.Quantum algorithms based on the digital encoding computing framework are capable of implementing the matrix Hadamard operation with a time complexity of O(poly log(mn/ε))and the matrix product with a time complexity of O(poly log(mnl/ε)),achieving an exponential speedup in contrast to the classical methods of O(mn)and O(mnl).Quantum algorithms based on the analog-encoding framework are capable of implementing the matrix Hadamard operation with a time complexity of O(k_(1)√mn·poly log(mn/ε))and the matrix product with a time complexity of O(k_(2)√1·poly log(mnl/ε)),where k_(1)and k_(2)are coefficients correlated with the elements of the matrix,achieving a square speedup in contrast to the classical counterparts.As applications,we construct an oracle that can access the trace of a matrix within logarithmic time,and propose several algorithms to respectively estimate the trace of a matrix,the trace of the product of two matrices,and the trace inner product of two matrices within logarithmic time.

文摘The development of collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy for studying the nuclear structure of nickel isotopes far from the stability line relies on high-efficiency two-color two-step photoionization pathways.We systematically investigated the even-parity autoionization spectrum of atomic nickel through resonance ionization mass spectrometry(RIMS).Fifteen intense single-color photoionization lines and corresponding transitions in the 300-325 nm range were identified and excluded as potential interference peaks for subsequent two-color studies.Fifty-one even-parity autoionization states in the 64000-66800 cm^(-1)range were identified for the first time by scanning from five intermediate excited states of the3d^(8)(^(3)F)4s4p(^(3)P^(o))configuration.Forty-eight of these states were assigned unique total angular momentum quantum numbers(J)based on electric dipole transition selection rules.The autoionization state at 64437.77 cm^(-1)was identified as an optimal final state for enhancing photoionization efficiency in two-color two-step pathways.This study provides comprehensive datasets of even-parity autoionization states of nickel,supporting both the advancement of collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy for exotic nickel isotopes and theoretical modeling of autoionization states.The datasets are openly available at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00280.

文摘The dense heterogeneous network provides standardized connectivity and access guarantees for 5G communication services.However,the complex network environment and high level of dynamism pose challenges to network selection decisions.Existing vertical handover algorithms often overlook the dynamic nature of user mobility and network condition,resulting in problems such as handover failure and frequent handover,ultimately impacting the quality of the user communication service.To address these problems,we propose an intelligent switching method,iMALSTM-DQN,which integrates an improved Multi-level Associative Long Short-Term Memory model(iMALSTM)with Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL).The algorithm leverages iMALSTM to predict the global network state in the next moment based on the global user movement trajectory and historical network status information within a region,thereby enhancing the prediction accuracy of network states.Subsequently,based on the predicted network state,we employ the Deep Q Network(DON)model to make handover decisions,adaptively determining the optimal switching and network selection strategy through interaction with the environment.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm enhances decision timeliness,significantly reduces the number of switch failures,and alleviates the problem of frequent handovers resulting from network dynamics.

文摘When two layers of graphene are stacked with a twist angle of approximately 1.1°,strong interlayer coupling gives rise to a pair of flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene(TBG),resulting in pronounced electron–electron interactions.At half filling of the flat bands,TBG exhibits correlated insulating states.Here,we investigate the electrical transport properties of heterostructures composed of TBG and the antiferromagnetic insulator chromium oxychloride(CrOCl),and propose a strategy to modulate the correlated insulating states in TBG.During the transition from a conventional phase to a strong interfacial coupling phase,kink-like features are observed in the charge neutrality point(CNP),correlated insulating state,and band insulating state.Under a perpendicular magnetic field,the system exhibits broadened quantum Hall plateaus in the strong interfacial coupling regime.Electrons localized in the CrOCl layer screen the bottom gate,rendering the carrier density in TBG less sensitive to variations in the bottom gate voltage.These phenomena are well captured by a charge-transfer model between TBG and CrOCl.Our results provide insights into the control of electronic correlations and topological states in graphene moirésystems via interfacial charge coupling.
文摘BACKGROUND The prevalence of negative emotional states,such as anxiety and depression,has increased annually.Although personal habits are known to influence emotional regulation,the precise mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear.AIM To investigate emotion regulation habits impact on students negative emotions during lockdown,using the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic as a case example.METHODS During the coronavirus disease 2019 lockdown,an online cross-sectional survey was conducted at a Chinese university.Emotional states were assessed using the Depression,Anxiety,and Stress Scale-21(DASS-21),while demographic data and emotion regulation habits were collected concurrently.Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27.0 and includedχ^(2)-tests for intergroup comparisons,Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficient analysis to examine associations,and stepwise linear regression modeling to explore the relationships between emotion regulation habits and emotional states.Statistical significance was set atα=0.05.RESULTS Among the 494 valid questionnaires analyzed,the prevalence rates of negative emotional states were as follows:Depression(65.0%),anxiety(69.4%),and stress(50.8%).DASS-21 scores(mean±SD)demonstrated significant symptomatology:Total(48.77±34.88),depression(16.21±12.18),anxiety(14.90±11.91),and stress(17.64±12.07).Significant positive intercorrelations were observed among all DASS-21 subscales(P<0.01).Regression analysis identified key predictors of negative emotions(P<0.05):Risk factors included late-night frequency and academic pressure,while protective factors were the frequency of parental contact and the number of same-gender friends.Additionally,compensatory spending and binge eating positively predicted all negative emotion scores(β>0,P<0.01),whereas appropriate recreational activities negatively predicted these scores(β<0,P<0.01).CONCLUSION High negative emotion prevalence occurred among confined students.Recreational activities were protective,while compensatory spending and binge eating were risk factors,necessitating guided emotion regulation.

文摘The development of novel quantum many-body computational algorithms relies on robust benchmarking.However,generating such benchmarks is often hindered by the massive computational resources required for exact diagonalization or quantum Monte Carlo simulations,particularly at finite temperatures.In this work,we propose a new algorithm for obtaining thermal pure quantum states,which allows efficient computation of both mechanical and thermodynamic properties at finite temperatures.We implement this algorithm in our open-source C++template library,Physica.Combining the improved algorithm with state-of-the-art software engineering,our implementation achieves high performance and numerical stability.As an example,we demonstrate that for the 4×4 Hubbard model,our method runs approximately 10~3times faster than HΦ3.5.2.Moreover,the accessible temperature range is extended down toβ=32 across arbitrary doping levels.These advances significantly push forward the frontiers of benchmarking for quantum many-body systems.

文摘The methanol oxidation reaction(MOR)to formic acid offers a promising alternative to the anodic oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in water electrolysis.However,the development of efficient and cost-effective catalysts remains a primary challenge.In this study,an enhancement in catalytic MOR performance is achieved through the incorporation of Mn atoms with unsaturated t_(2g)orbitals into Ni_(3)Se_(4).Comprehensive experimental analyses and theoretical calculations reveal that substituting Ni with Mn induces strong electron-withdrawing effects,effectively modulating the local coordination environment of the metal centers.The presence of Mn also elongates Ni–Se(O)bonds,which reduces eg orbital occupancy and modifies the spin state of the material.Electrochemical measurements demonstrate that electrodes based on this optimized material exhibit a high spin state and deliver excellent catalytic activity,achieving a MOR current density up to∼190 mA cm^(−2)at 1.6 V.This performance enhancement is attributed to the favorable electronic configuration and reduced reaction energy barriers associated with the high-spin state.

文摘Doping metal ions offer a promising strategy to tune the intrinsic and surface properties of BiVO_(4)for enhanced photoelectrochemical(PEC)activity.Given this,experimental and theoretical studies on cadmium(Cd)doping to BiVO_(4)photoanode were studied for PEC water splitting applications.The spectroscopic and PEC results indicate that the substitution of Cd at Bi lattice sites causes the reduction in the valence state of V^(5+)to V4+that creates hole trap states below the Fermi level of BiVO_(4).The introduced hole trap states at the BiVO_(4)surface suppress the charge recombination and provide effective hole transfer sites for the facile water oxidation reactions.The CdBiVO_(4)exhibited significantly higher photocurrent compared to the pristine BiVO_(4)reaching 3.5 mA cm^(-2)(with a hole scavenger)at 1.23 V vs RHE.Furthermore,doping increases the carrier density in the bulk of BiVO_(4)leading to improved charge separation,and charge transfer while reducing the hole transfer resistance at the interface.The Cd-doped BiVO_(4)exhibited a charge separation efficiency of 80%and with a 90%of overall water splitting faradaic efficiency.Importantly,the results of this work propose the advantages of doping metal ions at Bi lattice sites in BiVO_(4)for improved PEC activity.

文摘With the growing advancement of wireless communication technologies,WiFi-based human sensing has gained increasing attention as a non-intrusive and device-free solution.Among the available signal types,Channel State Information(CSI)offers fine-grained temporal,frequency,and spatial insights into multipath propagation,making it a crucial data source for human-centric sensing.Recently,the integration of deep learning has significantly improved the robustness and automation of feature extraction from CSI in complex environments.This paper provides a comprehensive review of deep learning-enhanced human sensing based on CSI.We first outline mainstream CSI acquisition tools and their hardware specifications,then provide a detailed discussion of preprocessing methods such as denoising,time–frequency transformation,data segmentation,and augmentation.Subsequently,we categorize deep learning approaches according to sensing tasks—namely detection,localization,and recognition—and highlight representative models across application scenarios.Finally,we examine key challenges including domain generalization,multi-user interference,and limited data availability,and we propose future research directions involving lightweight model deployment,multimodal data fusion,and semantic-level sensing.

文摘Foodborne bacteria produce biofilms and their viable but non-culturable(VBNC)formation,can affect food quality and safety.Studies have shown that these characteristics are regulated by the bacterial quorum sensing(QS)system.Quenching the QS system of foodborne bacteria and blocking the expression of the corresponding genes may be an effective way to improve food quality and safety.Therefore,this article reviews the QS systems for foodborne bacteria,the regulatory mechanisms of QS systems in biofilm and VBNC formation and resuscitation,the research progress on quorum sensing inhibitors(QSIs)for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria,and introduces QSIs from various sources.In addition,we have also summarized the current research issues on QS regulation of biofilms and VBNC formation.The systematic study of the QS phenomenon of foodborne bacteria in practical situations,the mechanism of bacterial QS cooperation-cheating,the screening of novel and highly active QSIs,the combination of QSIs and other technologies to improve their bioavailability,and the regulatory network between biofilm and VBNC formation and resuscitation are research directions that need to be paid attention to in the future.
文摘Making full use of the operator ordering method and the integration within ordered products,we obtain the analytical evolution law of a general quadratic state in the amplitude decay channel,and find that it is determined not only by the decay rate of the amplitude decay channel but also by the coefficients of the initial quadratic state.Further,the quantum statistical properties of the initial quadratic state for amplitude decay are investigated via its average photon number and photon-counting distribution,and its Wigner distribution function evolution is discussed in detail.

文摘A scheme is proposed based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with high phase sensitivity,utilizing a two-mode squeezed coherent state,generated by four-wave mixing,as input.The phase sensitivity of this scheme easily surpasses the Heisenberg limit when intensity difference detection is applied.Under phase-matching conditions,the quantum Cramér-Rao bound significantly exceeds the Heisenberg limit.Additionally,the scheme exhibits robustness against photon loss.When compared with the modified SU(1,1)interferometer with two coherent state inputs,this approach demonstrates superior measurement sensitivity,evaluated through various detection methods and the quantum Cramér-Rao bound.This work holds potential applications in quantum metrology.

文摘Co_(3)O_(4) is a promising catalyst for the chlorine evolution reaction(CER)in seawater;however,its CER selectivity is compromised by the adsorption of the competitive oxygen evolution reaction intermediate(OH^(-))at Co sites.Inspired by the hard-soft acid-base(HSAB)theory,this study proposes incorporating early transition metal sites(V)with a low degree of electron delocalization into Co_(3)O_(4) to modulate the selective adsorption of reactants on catalytic sites.Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal that V incorporation facilitates the electron accumulation at the Co site,significantly strengthening the interaction between Co and Cl^(-).Meanwhile,the loss of electrons from V sites generates a more localized electronic state that preferentially adsorbs OH^(-),thus reducing the Co-OH interaction and releasing more Co sites for Cl^(-)adsorption.Therefore,Co_(2)VO_(4) exhibits a high CER selectivity of 92.3%and maintains one of the highest stabilities over 300 h in natural seawater.The resulting half-flow cell achieves~100%disinfection efficiency in seawater,validating the HSAB theory-based design strategy and offering new guidance for developing highly selective seawater CER catalysts.
