We demonstrate that time reflection and refraction can be observed in a two-band model centered around a non-zero reference energy. Our model can be physically implemented as a system of two coupled dynamically-modulated ring resonators.

Exceptional point (EP)-based optical sensors exhibit exceptional sensitivity but poor detectivity due to their acute sensitivity to perturbations such as noise. When the optical budget is limited as in applications on...

Flat-band materials (FBMs) serve as a platform for a variety of exotic properties and applications, such as strongly correlated states, topological states, and superconductivity. However, reported FBMs highly rely on materials engineering, such as Moiré lattices. Here, we demonstrate the acceleration of intrinsic FBM discovery using explainable statistical learning within a periodic table representation (PTR). Our model achieves validation accuracies of 0.81–0.97 for X2YZ full-Heusler alloys across three different databases and 0.84 for ABC3 perovskites. Our interpretable model and statistical analysis reveal several important valence electron-related features for FBMs, supported by atomic orbital hybridization theory. We further discuss various physical properties and applications strongly associated with flat bands, including topology, thermal conductivity, electron-phonon coupling, and superconductivity. Finally, we predict 25 high-potential, previously unreported flat-band Heusler alloys using the PTR model, validated by first-principles calculations.
We quantitatively identify the multiple distinct microscopic mechanisms contributing to effective interlayer couplings (EICs) by performing first-principle calculations for two prototype superconducting cuprate famili...

This paper addresses the optimization of edge-weighted networks by maximizing algebraic connectivity to enhance network robustness. Motivated by the need for precise robot position estimation in cooperative localization and pose-graph sparsification in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), the algebraic connectivity maximization problem is formulated as a Mixed Integer Semi-Definite program (MISDP), which is NP-hard. Leveraging spectral graph theoretic methods, specifically Cheeger’s inequality, this work introduces novel “Cheeger cuts” to strengthen and efficiently solve medium-scale MISDPs. Further, a new Mixed Integer Linear program (MILP) is developed for efficiently computing Cheeger cuts, implemented within an outer-approximation algorithm for solving the MISDP. A greedy k-opt heuristic is also presented, producing high-quality solutions that serve as valid lower bounds for Cheeger cuts. Comprehensive numerical analyses demonstrate the efficacy of strengthened cuts via substantial improvements in run times on synthetic and realistic robot localization datasets.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for autonomously seeking out sparsely distributed targets in an unknown underwater environment. Our Sparse Adaptive Search and Sample (SASS) algorithm mixes low-altitude observations of discrete targets with high-altitude observations of the surrounding substrates. By using prior information about the distribution of targets across substrate types in combination with belief modelling over these substrates in the environment, high-altitude observations provide information that allows SASS to quickly guide the robot to areas with high target densities. A maximally informative path is autonomously constructed online using Monte Carlo Tree Search with a novel acquisition function to guide the search to maximise observations of unique targets. We demonstrate our approach in a set of simulated trials using a novel generative species model. SASS consistently outperforms the canonical boustrophedon planner by up to 36% in seeking out unique targets in the first 75-90% of time it takes for a boustrophedon survey. Additionally, we verify the performance of SASS on two real world coral reef datasets.
