Quantum algorithm for Valiant-Vazirani reduction
Patrick Kelly, Victoria S. Ordonez, Michael R. Geller +1
There is growing interest in extensions of the standard model of gate-based quantum computation to include auxiliary degrees of freedom evolving according to a nonlinear Schröding…
Nonlinear Hamiltonians and Boolean satisfiability
Michael R. Geller, Victoria S. Ordonez, Yohannes Abate
We consider an extended model of quantum computation where a scalable fault-tolerant quantum computer is coupled to one or more ancilla qubits that evolve according to a nonlinear…
Graduate Training in Quantum Information Science and Engineering: Lessons, Challenges, and a Roadmap from the NSF Research Traineeship Programs
Yohannes Abate, Victor Acosta, Alessandro Alabastri +31
Since 2019, eighteen NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) awards in quantum information science and engineering (QISE) and adjacent fields have been funded, constituting the largest NSF-…
Bridging Brains and Machines: A Unified Frontier in Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, and Neuromorphic Systems
Sohan Shankar, Yi Pan, Hanqi Jiang +43
This position and survey paper identifies the emerging convergence of neuroscience, artificial general intelligence (AGI), and neuromorphic computing toward a unified research para…
SYNAPSE: Empowering LLM Agents with Episodic-Semantic Memory via Spreading Activation
Hanqi Jiang, Junhao Chen, Yi Pan +8
While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at generalized reasoning, standard retrieval-augmented approaches fail to address the disconnected nature of long-term agentic memory. To b…
Nanoscopy of Excitons in Atomically Thin In-Plane Heterostructures with Nanointerfaces
Mahdi Ghafariasl, Tianyi Zhang, Sampath Gamage +8
Atomically sharp 2D in-plane heterostructures with nanoscale interfaces provide a powerful platform for tailoring optical and electrical properties at the nanoscale, enabling novel…
