\epsilon-regularity for systems involving non-local, antisymmetric operators
We prove an epsilon-regularity theorem for critical and super-critical
systems with a non-local antisymmetric operator on the right-hand side.
These systems contain as special cases, Euler-Lagrange equations of
conformally invariant variational functionals as Rivi\`ere treated them, and
also Euler-Lagrange equations of fractional harmonic maps introduced by Da
Lio-Rivi\`ere.
In particular, the arguments presented here give new and uniform proofs of
the regularity results by Rivi\`ere, Rivi\`ere-Struwe, Da-Lio-Rivi\`ere, and
also the integrability results by Sharp-Topping and Sharp, not discriminating
between the classical local, and the non-local situations
LIDAR and beam steering tailored by neuromorphic metasurfaces dipped in a tunable surrounding medium
The control of amplitude, losses and deflection of light with elements of an optical array is of paramount importance for realizing dynamic beam steering for light detection and ranging applications (LIDAR). In this paper, we propose an optical beam steering device, operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm, based on high index material as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) where the direction of the light is actively controlled by means of liquid crystal. The metasurface have been designed by a deep machine learning algorithm jointed with an optimizer in order to obtain univocal optical responses. The achieved numerical results represent a promising way for the realization of novel LIDAR for future applications with increase control and precision

Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between independent III-V on silicon waveguide integrated lasers
The versatility of silicon photonic integrated circuits has led to a
widespread usage of this platform for quantum information based applications,
including Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). However, the integration of simple
high repetition rate photon sources is yet to be achieved. The use of
weak-coherent pulses (WCPs) could represent a viable solution. For example,
Measurement Device Independent QKD (MDI-QKD) envisions the use of WCPs to
distill a secret key immune to detector side channel attacks at large
distances. Thus, the integration of III-V lasers on silicon waveguides is an
interesting prospect for quantum photonics. Here, we report the experimental
observation of Hong-Ou-Mandel interference with 46\pm 2% visibility between
WCPs generated by two independent III-V on silicon waveguide integrated lasers.
This quantum interference effect is at the heart of many applications,
including MDI-QKD. Our work represents a substantial first step towards an
implementation of MDI-QKD fully integrated in silicon, and could be beneficial
for other applications such as standard QKD and novel quantum communication
protocols.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
An Optimal Execution Problem with Market Impact
We study an optimal execution problem in a continuous-time market model that
considers market impact. We formulate the problem as a stochastic control
problem and investigate properties of the corresponding value function. We find
that right-continuity at the time origin is associated with the strength of
market impact for large sales, otherwise the value function is continuous.
Moreover, we show the semi-group property (Bellman principle) and characterise
the value function as a viscosity solution of the corresponding
Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. We introduce some examples where the forms of
the optimal strategies change completely, depending on the amount of the
trader's security holdings and where optimal strategies in the Black-Scholes
type market with nonlinear market impact are not block liquidation but gradual
liquidation, even when the trader is risk-neutral.Comment: 36 pages, 8 figures, a modified version of the article "An optimal
