Open and Closed Loop Approaches for Energy Efficient Quantum Optimal Control

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
Concepts from quantum thermodynamics and optimal control are blended to derive a theoretical framework to quantify and minimize the energetic cost of a pulse for unitary synthesis. Two complementary techniques (based on GRAPE and Reinforce‐DRL) are implemented as open‐source software that co‐optimizes the fidelity and energetic cost within quantum ...

Quantum Circuit Design using a Progressive Widening Enhanced Monte Carlo Tree Search

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
This article proposes the Progressive Widening enhanced Monte Carlo Tree Search (PWMCTS) to design parameterized quantum circuits. It improves the efficiency of the previous MCTS‐based techniques in terms of number of quantum circuit evaluation, number of gates and CNOT count.

Robust Bounds on the Eigenvalues of Linear Systems With Delays and Their Applications in Stability Analysis

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review some known bounds on the eigenvalues of a matrix and use similar techniques to derive bounds for the class of nonlinear eigenproblems and, as a special case, the eigenvalues for LTI systems with delays. We present two classes of results.

Initial State Privacy of Nonlinear Systems on Riemannian Manifolds

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate initial state privacy protection for discrete‐time nonlinear closed systems. By capturing Riemannian geometric structures inherent in such privacy challenges, we refine the concept of differential privacy through the introduction of an initial state adjacency set based on Riemannian distances.

Towards a Semiautonomous Young Spruce Forest Late Cleaning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cleaning a seedling spruce stand is an important silvicultural task required to help the young spruce trees thrive. It is usually manual work with a clearing saw. Mechanized solutions have been proposed, but they have not worked out well, since the driver has challenges in seeing the seedling trees that should be left growing.

Multiple Population Genetic Algorithm‐Based Inverse Kinematics Solution for a 6‐DOF Manipulator

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Compared to traditional fixed configuration manipulators, modular manipulators occupy less space, offer greater flexibility, and demonstrate stronger adaptability to diverse environments. These characteristics make them particularly suitable for operating in unknown environments, such as disaster rescue and pipeline inspection.

Fulfilling the Promise of ‘Leaving No One Behind’: Exploring Institutional Pathways to Success

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda's Leaving No One Behind (LNOB) principle has the potential to offer a new approach to development, but whether it is achieved largely depends on how it is institutionalised within countries. This research provides the first empirical study into the relation between institutionalisation of LNOB and its goal achievement.

Shear transfer model for ultra‐high‐performance concrete incorporating fiber bridging mechanism

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ultra‐high‐performance concrete (UHPC) exhibits exceptional mechanical properties, including high shear strength, partly attributed to the fiber bridging mechanism. However, existing shear transfer models for normal‐strength concrete have not considered the significant contribution of fibers.

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

Design of a Marker‐Based Human–Robot Following Motion Control Strategy

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the challenges of jerky movements and poor tracking performance in outdoor environments for a following‐type mobile robot, a novel marker‐based human–machine following‐motion control strategy is explored. This strategy decouples the control of linear velocity and angular velocity, handling them separately.
