We estimate the canonical entropy of a quantum black hole by counting its quasi-normal modes. We first show that the partition function of a classical black hole, evaluated by counting the quasi-normal modes with a thermodyanmic Boltzmann weight, leads to a small entropy of order unity due to the small contribution fro...

Actinide-bearing intermetallics display unusual electronic, magnetic, and physical properties which arise from the complex behavior of their 5$f$ electron orbitals.

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional inner product space. Assume $G$ is a subgroup of the symmetric group of degree $m$, and $\lambda$ is an irreducible character of $G$. Consider the \emph{Cartesian symmetrizer} $C_{\lambda}$ on the Cartesian space $\times^{m}V$ defined by \[ C_{\lambda} = \frac{\lambda(1)}{|G|}\sum_{\tau\in...

Image aesthetics assessment (IAA) aims to estimate the aesthetics of images. Depending on the content of an image, diverse criteria need to be selected to assess its aesthetics. Existing works utilize pre-trained vision backbones based on content knowledge to learn image aesthetics. However, training those backbones is...

We consider an interacting quantum dot strongly coupled to two superconducting leads in a Josephson junction geometry. By defining symmetry-adapted superpositions of states from the leads, we formulate an effective Hamiltonian for the strong-hybridisation regime with a single orbital directly coupled to the dot and thr...

Automatic dubbing, which generates a corresponding version of the input speech in another language, could be widely utilized in many real-world scenarios such as video and game localization. In addition to synthesizing the translated scripts, automatic dubbing needs to further transfer the speaking style in the origina...

Medical vision-and-language pre-training (Med-VLP) has shown promising improvements on many downstream medical tasks owing to its applicability to extracting generic representations from medical images and texts. Practically, there exist two typical types, \textit{i.e.}, the fusion-encoder type and the dual-encoder typ...

Understanding the interaction of intense, femtosecond X-ray pulses with heavy atoms is crucial for gaining insights into the structure and dynamics of matter. One key aspect of nonlinear light-matter interaction was, so far, not studied systematically at free-electron lasers -- its dependence on the photon energy. Usin...

Modelling spatio-temporal processes on road networks is a task of growing importance. While significant progress has been made on developing spatio-temporal graph neural networks (Gnns), existing works are built upon three assumptions that are not practical on real-world road networks. First, they assume sensing on eve...

A model of computation for which reasonable yet still incomplete lower bounds are known is the read-once branching program. Here variants of complexity measures successful in the study of read-once branching programs are defined and studied. Some new or simpler proofs of known bounds are uncovered. Branching program re...
