COCONUT: A coronal model with an energy decomposition strategy

In this paper, we propose an energy decomposition method combined with an HLL Riemann solver that includes an additional dissipation term in the energy equation to improve the numerical stability of the fully implicit, time-evolving coronal model COCONUT and extend its applicability to solar-maximum phases. In MHD simulations that evolve conservative variables in time, the thermal pressure is typically computed by subtracting the magnetic and kinetic energies from the total energy. In low-beta (the ratio of thermal to magnetic pressure; $< 10^{-3}$) regions, discretization errors of magnetic energy can be comparable to the thermal pressure, potentially leading to negative thermal pressure and causing the simulation to crash. Therefore, we update the decomposed energy, excluding the magnetic energy, at each time step. It avoids subtracting a large magnetic energy from the total energy to obtain a very small thermal pressure in low-$β$ regions, thereby improving the numerical stability of MHD models. We validate the algorithm using a time-evolving solar-maximum Carrington rotation simulation in 2025, which the previous code failed to run to completion. We also perform quasi-steady-state coronal simulations and 2D benchmark tests to further assess the algorithm's performance. The simulation results show that the algorithm produces results nearly identical to those obtained using the traditional full energy equation during solar minimum, while significantly improving COCONUT's ability to simulate coronal evolution under strong magnetic fields, even including fields exceeding 100 Gauss with $β<10^{-3}$. This method provides a promising approach for performing quasi-realistic coronal simulations during solar maxima.

Grounding Multi-Hop Reasoning in Structural Causal Models via Group Relative Policy Optimization

Multi-Hop Fact Verification (MHFV) necessitates complex reasoning across disparate evidence, posing significant challenges for Large Language Models (LLMs) which often suffer from hallucinations and fractured logical chains. Existing methods, while improving transparency via Chain-of-Thought (CoT), lack explicit modeling of the causal dependencies between evidence and claims. In this work, we introduce a novel framework that grounds reasoning in a Structural Causal Model (SCM), treating verification as a constructive causal inference process. We empirically identify an "inverted U-shaped" correlation between reasoning chain length and accuracy, revealing that excessive structural complexity degrades performance. To address this, we propose a Rule-based Reinforcement Learning strategy using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). This approach dynamically optimizes the trade-off between structural depth and conciseness. Extensive experiments on HoVer and EX-FEVER demonstrate that our SCM-GRPO framework significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, offering a reliable and interpretable solution for complex fact verification.

IPAD-CLIP: Teaching CLIP to Detect Image Local Perceptual Artifacts

Current image quality assessment methods are heavily biased towards global distortions (e.g., noise, blur), neglecting local perceptual artifacts such as ghosting, lens flare, and moire effects. Although significant progress has been made in artifact removal, the fundamental problem of automatic artifact detection remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we formalize the Image Perceptual Artifact Detection (IPAD) task to address this gap. We contribute a benchmark dataset comprising 3,520 artifact images, including 520 real-captured and 3,000 synthetic samples, each paired with pixel-level masks across three representative artifact categories. The core challenge of IPAD lies in the localized, subtle, and semantically weak nature of these artifacts, which makes them prone to missed detection. To overcome this, we introduce IPAD-CLIP, a novel framework built upon CLIP that enhances artifact discrimination in both textual and visual spaces while preserving generalization capabilities. Our key insight is that local artifacts often exhibit strong correlations with specific semantic contexts. Accordingly, we learn artifact-aware text embeddings to explicitly model the object-artifact relationships, resulting in enhanced representations that clear differentiate between clean and artifact prompts. These text embeddings are then used as anchors to shift the visual encoder's attention from high-level semantics to subtle, low-level artifacts. Extensive experiments demonstrate that IPAD-CLIP offers a resource-efficient adaptation of CLIP for detection, significantly outperforming advanced image anomaly detection and manipulation detection methods on our benchmark. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study addressing multi-class local perceptual artifact detection in terms of both dataset and model.

Dimension approximation in smooth dynamical systems

For a non-conformal repeller $Λ$ of a $C^{1+α}$ map $f$ preserving an ergodic measure $μ$ of positive entropy, this paper shows that the Lyapunov dimension of $μ$ can be approximated gradually by the Carathéodory singular dimension of a sequence of horseshoes. For a $C^{1+α}$ diffeomorphism $f$ preserving a hyperbolic ergodic measure $μ$ of positive entropy, if $(f, μ)$ has only two Lyapunov exponents $λ_u(μ)>0>λ_s(μ)$, then the Hausdorff or lower box or upper box dimension of $μ$ can be approximated by the corresponding dimension of the horseshoes $\{Λ_n\}$. The same statement holds true if $f$ is a $C^1$ diffeomorphism with a dominated Oseledet's splitting with respect to $μ$.

Dimension approximation for diffeomorphisms preserving hyperbolic SRB measures

For a C^{1+α} diffeomorphism f preserving a hyperbolic ergodic SRB measure μ, Katok's remarkable results assert that μcan be approximated by a sequence of hyperbolic sets \{Λ_n\}_{n\geq1}. In this paper, we prove the Hausdorff dimension for Λ_n on the unstable manifold tends to the dimension of the unstable manifold. Furthermore, if the stable direction is one dimension, then the Hausdorff dimension of μcan be approximated by the Hausdorff dimension of Λ_n. To establish these results, we utilize the u-Gibbs property of the conditional measure of the equilibrium measure of -ψ^{s}(\cdot,f^n) and the properties of the uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems.

Exceptional sets for average conformal dynamical systems

Let $f: M \to M$ be a $C^{1+α}$ map/diffeomorphism of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ and $μ$ be an expanding/hyperbolic ergodic $f$-invariant Borel probability measure on $M$. Assume $f$ is average conformal expanding/hyperbolic on the support set $W$ of $μ$ and $W$ is locally maximal. For any subset $A\subset W$ with small entropy or dimension, we investigate the topological entropy and Hausdorff dimensions of the $A$-exceptional set and the limit $A$-exceptional set.

Plasmonic Bound States in the Continuum to Tailor Light-Matter Coupling

Plasmon resonances play a pivotal role in enhancing light-matter interactions in nanophotonics, but their low-quality factors have hindered applications demanding high spectral selectivity. Even though symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum with high-quality factors have been realized in dielectric metasurfaces, impinging light is not efficiently coupled to the resonant metasurfaces and is lost in the form of reflection due to low intrinsic losses. Here, we demonstrate a novel design and 3D laser nanoprinting of plasmonic nanofin metasurfaces, which support symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum up to 4th order. By breaking the nanofins out-of-plane symmetry in parameter space, we achieve high-quality factor (up to 180) modes under normal incidence. We reveal that the out-of-plane symmetry breaking can be fine-tuned by the triangle angle of the 3D nanofin meta-atoms, opening a pathway to precisely control the ratio of radiative to intrinsic losses. This enables access to the under-, critical-, and over-coupled regimes, which we exploit for pixelated molecular sensing. Depending on the coupling regime we observe negative, no, or positive modulation induced by the analyte, unveiling the undeniable importance of tailoring light-matter interaction. Our demonstration provides a novel metasurface platform for enhanced light-matter interaction with a wide range of applications in optical sensing, energy conversion, nonlinear photonics, surface-enhanced spectroscopy, and quantum optics.

Polar Transformation Based Multiple Instance Learning Assisting Weakly Supervised Image Segmentation With Loose Bounding Box Annotations

This study investigates weakly supervised image segmentation using loose bounding box supervision. It presents a multiple instance learning strategy based on polar transformation to assist image segmentation when loose bounding boxes are employed as supervision. In this strategy, weighted smooth maximum approximation is introduced to incorporate the observation that pixels closer to the origin of the polar transformation are more likely to belong to the object in the bounding box. The proposed approach was evaluated on a public medical dataset using Dice coefficient. The results demonstrate its superior performance. The codes are available at \url{https://github.com/wangjuan313/wsis-polartransform}.

Radial bound states in the continuum for polarization-invariant nanophotonics

All-dielectric nanophotonics underpinned by the physics of bound states in the continuum (BICs) have demonstrated breakthrough applications in nanoscale light manipulation, frequency conversion and optical sensing. Leading BIC implementations range from isolated nanoantennas with localized electromagnetic fields to symmetry-protected metasurfaces with controllable resonance quality (Q) factors. However, they either require structured light illumination with complex beam-shaping optics or large, fabrication-intense arrays of polarization-sensitive unit cells, hindering tailored nanophotonic applications and on-chip integration. Here, we introduce radial quasi bound states in the continuum (radial BICs) as a new class of radially distributed electromagnetic modes controlled by structural asymmetry in a ring of dielectric rod pair resonators. The radial BIC platform provides polarization-invariant and tunable high-Q resonances with strongly enhanced near fields in an ultracompact footprint as low as 2 $μ$m$^2$. We demonstrate radial BIC realizations in the visible for sensitive biomolecular detection and enhanced second-harmonic generation from monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides, opening new perspectives for compact, spectrally selective, and polarization-invariant metadevices for multi-functional light-matter coupling, multiplexed sensing, and high-density on-chip photonics.

Detecting quench in HTS magnets with LTS wires -- a theoretical and numerical analysis

Protecting a high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet from a quench event is a challenging task. Because of the slow normal zone propagation velocity, the long reliable quench detection method by directly monitoring coil voltage may not be timely for HTS anymore, leaving HTS magnets under danger of overheating. Using a NbTi low temperature superconducting (LTS) wire to detect quench in coils wound with ReBCO HTS tapes have recently been experimentally proved, yet a theoretical study is still needed to further develop this technique and make it prepared to be applied more generally in high field magnets. In this manuscript, we have demonstrated that it is the significant difference in the temperature dependence of critical current between LTS and HTS but not the normal zone propagation velocity (NZPV), that makes LTSs good quench detectors. Simulations show that LTS quench detectors should have low matrix fraction or high matrix resistivity. At last, at field up to 15 T or 20 T, Nb3Sn is proven to be a good quench detector.

Discovery of oscillations above 200 keV in a black hole X-ray binary with Insight-HXMT

Low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) are commonly found in black hole X-ray binaries, and their origin is still under debate. The properties of LFQPOs at high energies (above 30 keV) are closely related to the nature of the accretion flow in the innermost regions, and thus play a crucial role in critically testing various theoretical models. The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) is capable of detecting emissions above 30 keV, and is therefore an ideal instrument to do so. Here we report the discovery of LFQPOs above 200 keV in the new black hole MAXI J1820+070 in the X-ray hard state, which allows us to understand the behaviours of LFQPOs at hundreds of kiloelectronvolts. The phase lag of the LFQPO is constant around zero below 30 keV, and becomes a soft lag (that is, the high-energy photons arrive first) above 30 keV. The soft lag gradually increases with energy and reaches ~0.9s in the 150-200 keV band. The detection at energies above 200 keV, the large soft lag and the energy-related behaviors of the LFQPO pose a great challenge for most currently existing models, but suggest that the LFQPO probably originates from the precession of a small-scale jet.

The influence of the Insight-HXMT/LE time response on timing analysis

LE is the low energy telescope of Insight-HXMT. It uses swept charge devices (SCDs) to detect soft X-ray photons. The time response of LE is caused by the structure of SCDs. With theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo simulations we discuss the influence of LE time response (LTR) on the timing analysis from three aspects: the power spectral density, the pulse profile and the time lag. After the LTR, the value of power spectral density monotonously decreases with the increasing frequency. The power spectral density of a sinusoidal signal reduces by a half at frequency 536 Hz. The corresponding frequency for QPO signals is 458 Hz. The Root mean square (RMS) of QPOs holds the similar behaviour. After the LTR, the centroid frequency and full width at half maxima (FWHM) of QPOs signals do not change. The LTR reduces the RMS of pulse profiles and shifts the pulse phase. In the time domain, the LTR only reduces the peak value of the crosscorrelation function while it does not change the peak position. Thus it will not affect the result of the time lag. When considering the time lag obtained from two instruments and one among them is LE, a 1.18 ms lag is expected caused by the LTR. The time lag calculated in the frequency domain is the same as that in the time domain.

Universal Semantic Segmentation for Fisheye Urban Driving Images

Semantic segmentation is a critical method in the field of autonomous driving. When performing semantic image segmentation, a wider field of view (FoV) helps to obtain more information about the surrounding environment, making automatic driving safer and more reliable, which could be offered by fisheye cameras. However, large public fisheye datasets are not available, and the fisheye images captured by the fisheye camera with large FoV comes with large distortion, so commonly-used semantic segmentation model cannot be directly utilized. In this paper, a seven degrees of freedom (DoF) augmentation method is proposed to transform rectilinear image to fisheye image in a more comprehensive way. In the training process, rectilinear images are transformed into fisheye images in seven DoF, which simulates the fisheye images taken by cameras of different positions, orientations and focal lengths. The result shows that training with the seven-DoF augmentation can improve the model's accuracy and robustness against different distorted fisheye data. This seven-DoF augmentation provides a universal semantic segmentation solution for fisheye cameras in different autonomous driving applications. Also, we provide specific parameter settings of the augmentation for autonomous driving. At last, we tested our universal semantic segmentation model on real fisheye images and obtained satisfactory results. The code and configurations are released at https://github.com/Yaozhuwa/FisheyeSeg.

Overview to the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) Satellite

As China's first X-ray astronomical satellite, the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT), which was dubbed as Insight-HXMT after the launch on June 15, 2017, is a wide-band (1-250 keV) slat-collimator-based X-ray astronomy satellite with the capability of all-sky monitoring in 0.2-3 MeV. It was designed to perform pointing, scanning and gamma-ray burst (GRB) observations and, based on the Direct Demodulation Method (DDM), the image of the scanned sky region can be reconstructed. Here we give an overview of the mission and its progresses, including payload, core sciences, ground calibration/facility, ground segment, data archive, software, in-orbit performance, calibration, background model, observations and some preliminary results.

n-type Markov Branching Processes with Immigration

In this paper, we consider $n$-type Markov branching processes with immigration and resurrection. The uniqueness criteria are first established. Then, a new method is found and the explicit expression of extinction probability is successfully obtained in the absorption case, the mean extinction time is also given. The recurrence and ergodicity criteria are given if the state ${\bf 0}$ is not absorptive. Finally, if the resurrection rates are same as the immigration rates, the branching property and decay property are discussed in detail, it is shown that the process is a superimposition of a $n$-type branching process and an immigration. The exact value of the decay parameter $λ_Z$ is given for the irreducible class ${\bf Z}_+^n$. Moreover, the corresponding $λ_Z$-invariant measures/vectors and quasi-distributions are presented.

A digital CDS technique and the performance testing

Readout noise is a critical parameter for characterizing the performance of charge-coupled devices (CCDs), which can be greatly reduced by the correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit. However, conventional CDS circuit inevitably introduces new noises since it consists of several active analog components such as operational amplifiers. This paper proposes a digital CDS circuit technique, which transforms the pre-amplified CCD signal into a train of digital presentations by a high-speed data acquisition card directly without the noisy CDS circuit first, then implement the digital CDS algorithm through numerical method. The readout noise of 3.3 e$^{-}$ and the energy resolution of 121 eV@5.9keV can be achieved via the digital CDS technique.

Proton irradiation effect on SCDs

The Low Energy X-ray Telescope is a main payload on the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope satellite. The swept charge device is selected for the Low Energy X-ray Telescope. As swept charge devices are sensitive to proton irradiation, irradiation test was carried out on the HI-13 accelerator at the China Institute of Atomic Energy. The beam energy was measured to be 10 MeV at the SCD. The proton fluence delivered to the SCD was $3\times10^{8}\mathrm{protons}/\mathrm{cm}^{2}$ over two hours. It is concluded that the proton irradiation affects both the dark current and the charge transfer inefficiency of the SCD through comparing the performance both before and after the irradiation. The energy resolution of the proton-irradiated SCD is 212 eV@5.9 keV at $-60\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$, while it before irradiated is 134 eV. Moreover, better performance can be reached by lowering the operating temperature of the SCD on orbit.

Bipartite entanglement and hypergraph states

We investigate some properties of multipartite entanglement of hypergraph states in purely hypergraph theoretical terms. We first introduce an approach for computing the concurrence between two specific qubits of a hypergraph state by using the so-called Hamming weights of several special subhypergraphs of the corresponding hypergraph. Then we quantify and characterize bipartite entanglement between each qubit pair of several special hypergraph states in terms of the concurrence obtained by using the above approach. Our main results include that (i) a graph g has a component with the vertex set {i,j} if and only if the qubit pair labeled by {i,j} of the graph state |g> is entangled; and (ii) each qubit pair of a special hypergraph state is entangled like the generalized W state.

Encoding Hypergraphs into Quantum States

Ionicioiu and Spiller [Phys. Rev. A 85, 062313 (2012)] have recently presented an axiomatic framework for mapping graphs to quantum states of a suitable physical system. Based on their study, we first extend the axiomatic framework to hypergraphs by means of modifying its axioms and consistency conditions. Then we use the axiomatic approach to encode hypergraphs into a new family of quantum states, called the hypergraph states. Moreover, we also try to do the followings: (i) to show that real equally weighted states, which occur in Grover and Deutsch-Joza algorithms, are equivalent to hypergraph states; (ii) to describe the relations among hypergraph states, graph states and stabilizer states; (iii) to provide some transformation rules, stated in purely hypergraph theoretical terms, which completely characterize the evolution of hypergraph states under some local operations, including operators in Pauli group and some special local Pauli measurements; and (iv) to investigate some properties of multipartite entanglement of hypergraph states by hypergraph theory.

Entropic measure and hypergraph states

We investigate some properties of the entanglement of hypergraph states in purely hypergraph theoretical terms. We first introduce an approach for computing local entropic measure on qubit t of a hypergraph state by using the Hamming weight of the so-called t-adjacent subhypergraph. Then we quantify and characterize the entanglement of hypergraph states in terms of local entropic measures obtained by using the above approach. Our results show that a class of n-qubit hypergraph states can not be converted into any graph state under local unitary transformations.

Locally maximally entangleable states and W-type states

We investigate the relationship between locally maximally entangleable (LME) states and W-type states which are equivalent to a W state under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC). We prove that (i) some special W-type states of three qubits are LME; and (ii) no W-type state of four and more qubits is LME. Our results show that the W state of four and more qubits cannot be prepared by using LME states under SLOCC. However, for three qubits some special LME states can be used to prepare the W state under SLOCC.

Multipartite Entanglement and Hypergraph states of three qubits

Several entanglement measures are used to define equivalence classes in the set of hypergraph states of three qubits. Our classifications reveal that (i) under local unitary transformations, hypergraph states of three qubits are split into six classes and only one class of them is not equivalent to any graph state; (ii) under stochastic local operations with classical communication, for the single copy case hypergraph states of three qubits, partitioned into five classes which can not be converted into a W state, are equivalent to graph states; and (iii) when bipartite entanglement in three qubits considered, hypergraph states of three qubits are split into five classes and only one class of them has the same entangled graph as the W state.

Multipartite entanglement and Grover's search algorithm

We firstly investigate the multipartite entanglement features of the quantum states, including the iteration states achieved by repeated application of Grover iteration and the Oracle ones into which the above iteration states evolve by applying single Oracle operation, employed in Grover's search algorithm by means of the separable degree and the entanglement measure. Then we give the quantitative and qualitative descriptions of the entanglement dynamics in Grover's search algorithm. Our results show that for most instances (i) the separable degrees of these states and ranges of their maximum Schmidt numbers are invariable by following the dynamics of Grover's search algorithm; (ii) the dynamics of Grover's search algorithm is almost "filled" by the fully entangled states.
