Site-Order Optimization in the Density Matrix Renormalization Group via Multi-Site Rearrangement

In the approaches based on matrix-product states (MPSs), such as the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method, the ordering of the sites crucially affects the computational accuracy. We investigate the performance of an algorithm that searches for the optimal site order by iterative local site rearrangement. We improve the algorithm by expanding the range of site rearrangement and apply it to a one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg model with random site permutation. The results indicate that increasing the range of the site rearrangement significantly improves the computational accuracy of the DMRG method. In particular, increasing the rearrangement range from two to three sites reduces the average relative error in the ground-state energy by 65% to 94% in the cases we tested. We also discuss the computational cost of the algorithm and its application as a preprocessing for MPS-based calculations.

When Absolute State Fails: Evaluating Proprioceptive Encodings for Robust Manipulation

As end-to-end robotic policies are progressively deployed in the real world to solve real tasks, they face a gap between the training and inference conditions. Scaling the amount and diversity of the training data has shown some success in improving zero-shot generalization, yet robots still fail when faced with new, unseen test conditions. For instance, while robots with fixed frames of reference are common, those with moving frames pose a greater challenge for deployment. To address this specific instance of the issue, we present a study of strategies for encoding the robot's proprioceptive state to improve both in- and out-of-distribution performance at test time. Through a systematic study of joint representations, we find that a simple episode-wise relative frame provides the best trade-off between task performance and robustness, outperforming the baselines in extensive real-robot experiments conducted in a realistic test environment. The results suggest a practical path to leveraging data collected by robots with varying frames of reference and deployment to unseen test configurations.
