Stability of the Bergman kernel on a tower of coverings
We obtain several results about stability of the Bergman kernel on a tower of
coverings on complex manifolds. An effective version of Rhodes' result is given
for a tower of coverings on a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than or
equal to 2. Stability of the Bergman kernel is established for towers of
coverings on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces and on complete Kaehler manifolds
satisfying certain potential conditions. As a consequence, stability of the
Bergman kernel is established for any tower of coverings of Riemann surfaces
when the top manifold is simply-connected.Comment: 22 page
Beyond Fermi pseudopotential: a modified GP equation
We present an effective potential and the corresponding modified
Gross-Pitaevskii equation that account for the energy dependence of the
two-body scattering amplitude through an effective-range expansion. For the
ground state energy of a trapped condensate, the theory leads to what we call a
shape-dependent confinement correction that improves agreements with diffusion
Monte Carlo calculations. The theory illustrates, for relatively strong
confinement and/or high density, how the shape dependence on atom-atom
interaction can come into play in a many-atom quantum system.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Efficient quantum entanglement distribution over an arbitrary collective-noise channel
We present an efficient quantum entanglement distribution over an arbitrary
collective-noise channel. The basic idea in the present scheme is that two
parties in quantum communication first transmit the entangled states in the
frequency degree of freedom which suffers little from the noise in an optical
fiber. After the two parties share the photon pairs, they add some operations
and equipments to transfer the frequency entanglement of pairs into the
polarization entanglement with the success probability of 100\%. Finally, they
can get maximally entangled polarization states with polarization independent
wavelength division multiplexers and quantum frequency up-conversion which can
erase distinguishability for frequency. Compared with conventional entanglement
purification protocols, the present scheme works in a deterministic way in
principle. Surprisingly, the collective noise leads to an additional advantage.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
Proposal for a quantum delayed-choice experiment with a spin-mechanical setup
We describe an experimentally feasible protocol for performing a variant of
the quantum delayed-choice experiment with massive objects. In this scheme, a
single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond driven by microwave fields is
dispersively coupled to a massive mechanical resonator. A double-pulse Ramsey
interferometer can be implemented with the spin-mechanical setup, where the
second Ramsey microwave pulse drives the spin conditioned on the number states
of the resonator. The probability for finding the NV center in definite spin
states exhibits interference fringes when the mechanical resonator is prepared
in a specific number state. On the other hand, the interference is destroyed if
the mechanical resonator stays in some other number states. The wavelike and
particlelike behavior of the NV spin can be superposed by preparing the
mechanical resonator in a superposition of two distinct number states. Thus a
quantum version of Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment could be implemented,
allowing of fundamental tests of quantum mechanics on a macroscopic scale.Comment: To be published in Phys.Rev.

Deterministic entanglement purification and complete nonlocal Bell-state analysis with hyperentanglement
Entanglement purification is a very important element for long-distance
quantum communication. Different from all the existing entanglement
purification protocols (EPPs) in which two parties can only obtain some quantum
systems in a mixed entangled state with a higher fidelity probabilistically by
consuming quantum resources exponentially, here we present a deterministic EPP
with hyperentanglement. Using this protocl, the two parties can, in principle,
obtain deterministically maximally entangled pure states in polarization
without destroying any less-entangled photon pair, which will improve the
efficiency of long-distance quantum communication exponentially. Meanwhile, it
will be shown that this EPP can be used to complete nonlocal Bell-state
analysis perfectly. We also discuss this EPP in a practical transmission.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
One-step deterministic polarization entanglement purification using spatial entanglement
We present a one-step deterministic entanglement purification protocol with
linear optics and postselection. Compared with the Simon-Pan protocol (Phys.
Rev. Lett. 89, 257901 (2002)), this one-step protocol has some advantages.
First, it can get a maximally entangled pair with only one step, not only
improve the fidelity of less-entangled photon pairs by performing the protocol
repeatedly. Second, it works in a deterministic way, not a probabilistic one,
which will reduce a great deal of entanglement resources. Third, it does not
require the polarization state be entangled, only spatial entanglement is
needed. Moreover, it is feasible with current techniques (Nature 423, 417
(2003)). All these advantages will make this one-step protocol more convenient
than others in the applications in quantum communication.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figures. A negligible error about the density matrix

Learning From Hidden Traits: Joint Factor Analysis and Latent Clustering
Dimensionality reduction techniques play an essential role in data analytics,
signal processing and machine learning. Dimensionality reduction is usually
performed in a preprocessing stage that is separate from subsequent data
analysis, such as clustering or classification. Finding reduced-dimension
representations that are well-suited for the intended task is more appealing.
This paper proposes a joint factor analysis and latent clustering framework,
which aims at learning cluster-aware low-dimensional representations of matrix
and tensor data. The proposed approach leverages matrix and tensor
factorization models that produce essentially unique latent representations of
the data to unravel latent cluster structure -- which is otherwise obscured
because of the freedom to apply an oblique transformation in latent space. At
the same time, latent cluster structure is used as prior information to enhance
the performance of factorization. Specific contributions include several
custom-built problem formulations, corresponding algorithms, and discussion of
associated convergence properties. Besides extensive simulations, real-world
datasets such as Reuters document data and MNIST image data are also employed
to showcase the effectiveness of the proposed approaches
RaD-VIO: Rangefinder-aided Downward Visual-Inertial Odometry
State-of-the-art forward facing monocular visual-inertial odometry algorithms
are often brittle in practice, especially whilst dealing with initialisation
and motion in directions that render the state unobservable. In such cases
having a reliable complementary odometry algorithm enables robust and resilient
flight. Using the common local planarity assumption, we present a fast, dense,
and direct frame-to-frame visual-inertial odometry algorithm for downward
facing cameras that minimises a joint cost function involving a homography
based photometric cost and an IMU regularisation term. Via extensive evaluation
in a variety of scenarios we demonstrate superior performance than existing
state-of-the-art downward facing odometry algorithms for Micro Aerial Vehicles
(MAVs).Comment: Accepted by ICRA 201
Wavelet Video Coding Algorithm Based on Energy Weighted Significance Probability Balancing Tree
This work presents a 3-D wavelet video coding algorithm. By analyzing the
contribution of each biorthogonal wavelet basis to reconstructed signal's
energy, we weight each wavelet subband according to its basis energy. Based on
distribution of weighted coefficients, we further discuss a 3-D wavelet tree
structure named \textbf{significance probability balancing tree}, which places
the coefficients with similar probabilities of being significant on the same
layer. It is implemented by using hybrid spatial orientation tree and
temporal-domain block tree. Subsequently, a novel 3-D wavelet video coding
algorithm is proposed based on the energy-weighted significance probability
balancing tree. Experimental results illustrate that our algorithm always
achieves good reconstruction quality for different classes of video sequences.
Compared with asymmetric 3-D orientation tree, the average peak signal-to-noise
ratio (PSNR) gain of our algorithm are 1.24dB, 2.54dB and 2.57dB for luminance
(Y) and chrominance (U,V) components, respectively. Compared with
temporal-spatial orientation tree algorithm, our algorithm gains 0.38dB, 2.92dB
and 2.39dB higher PSNR separately for Y, U, and V components. In addition, the
proposed algorithm requires lower computation cost than those of the above two
algorithms.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures, submission to Multimedia Tools and Application
