Quantum computers promise to perform certain tasks that are believed to be intractable to
classical computers. Boson sampling is such a task and is considered a strong candidate to …

In this paper, we propose an online clustering method called Contrastive Clustering (CC)
which explicitly performs the instance-and cluster-level contrastive learning. To be specific, for …

We report phase-programmable Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) which produces up to
113 photon detection events out of a 144-mode photonic circuit. A new high-brightness and …

Rationale: The global death toll from coronavirus disease (COVID-19) virus as of May 12,
2020, exceeds 286,000. The risk factors for death were attributed to advanced age and …

As is well known, activity level measurement and fusion rule are two crucial factors in image
fusion. For most existing fusion methods, either in spatial domain or in a transform domain …

Vanadium oxides with multioxidation states and various crystalline structures offer unique
electrical, optical, optoelectronic and magnetic properties, which could be manipulated for …

In this paper, we study a challenging problem in image restoration, namely, how to develop
an all-in-one method that could recover images from a variety of unknown corruption types …

C–H bond activation and decarboxylation are two significant processes in organic synthesis.
The combination of these processes provides a novel synthetic strategy, that is, …

Chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) in mammalian cells are repaired by either
homology-directed repair (HDR), using a homologous sequence as a repair template, or …

Cross-modal retrieval aims to enable flexible retrieval across different modalities. The core
of cross-modal retrieval is how to measure the content similarity between different types of …
