Observation of Fast Evolution in Parity-Time-Symmetric System
To find and realize the optimal evolution between two states is significant
both in theory and application. In quantum mechanics, the minimal evolution is
bounded by the gap between the largest and smallest eigenvalue of the
Hamiltonian. In the parity-time-symmetric(PT-symmetric) Hamiltonian theory, it
was predicted that the optimized evolution time can be reduced drastically
comparing to the bound in the Hermitian case, and can become even zero. In this
Letter, we report the experimental observation of the fast evolution of a
PT-symmetric Hamiltonian in an nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum system.
The experimental results demonstrate that the PT-symmetric Hamiltonian can
indeed evolve much faster than that in a quantum system, and time it takes can
be arbitrary close to zero.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
An Experimental Proposal to Test Dynamic Quantum Non-locality with Single-Atom Interferometry
Quantum non-locality based on the well-known Bell inequality is of kinematic
nature. A different type of quantum non-locality, the non-locality of the
quantum equation of motion, is recently put forward with connection to the
Aharonov-Bohm effect [Nature Phys. 6, 151 (2010)]. Evolution of the
displacement operator provides an example to manifest such dynamic quantum
non-locality. We propose an experiment using single-atom interferometry to test
such dynamic quantum non-locality. We show how to measure evolution of the
displacement operator with clod atoms in a spin-dependent optical lattice
potential and discuss signature to identify dynamic quantum non-locality under
a realistic experimental setting.Comment: 4 page
Semi-supervised Deep Generative Modelling of Incomplete Multi-Modality Emotional Data
There are threefold challenges in emotion recognition. First, it is difficult
to recognize human's emotional states only considering a single modality.
Second, it is expensive to manually annotate the emotional data. Third,
emotional data often suffers from missing modalities due to unforeseeable
sensor malfunction or configuration issues. In this paper, we address all these
problems under a novel multi-view deep generative framework. Specifically, we
propose to model the statistical relationships of multi-modality emotional data
using multiple modality-specific generative networks with a shared latent
space. By imposing a Gaussian mixture assumption on the posterior approximation
of the shared latent variables, our framework can learn the joint deep
representation from multiple modalities and evaluate the importance of each
modality simultaneously. To solve the labeled-data-scarcity problem, we extend
our multi-view model to semi-supervised learning scenario by casting the
semi-supervised classification problem as a specialized missing data imputation
task. To address the missing-modality problem, we further extend our
semi-supervised multi-view model to deal with incomplete data, where a missing
view is treated as a latent variable and integrated out during inference. This
way, the proposed overall framework can utilize all available (both labeled and
unlabeled, as well as both complete and incomplete) data to improve its
generalization ability. The experiments conducted on two real multi-modal
emotion datasets demonstrated the superiority of our framework.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1704.07548, 2018 ACM
