Dynamic parity recovery in a strongly driven Cooper-pair box [PDF]
We study a superconducting charge qubit coupled to an intensive electromagnetic field and probe changes in the resonance frequency of the formed dressed states. At large driving strengths, exceeding the qubit energy-level splitting, this reveals the well

Stronger data poisoning attacks break data sanitization defenses [PDF]
Machine learning models trained on data from the outside world can be corrupted by data poisoning attacks that inject malicious points into the models’ training sets. A common defense against these attacks is data sanitization: first filter out anomalous
