The Fermi-edge singularity and the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe describe the universal physics which occurs when a Fermi sea is locally quenched by the sudden switching of a scattering potential, leading to a brutal disturbance of its ground state. We demonstrate that the effect can be seen in the controllable domain of ultracold trapped gases by providing an analytic description of the out-of-equilibrium response to an atomic impurity, both at zero and at finite temperature. Furthermore, we link the transient behavior of the gas to the decoherence of the impurity, and to the degree of the non-Markovian nature of its dynamics.

Exact zeros of fidelity in finite-size systems as a signature for probing quantum phase transitions.

Phys Rev E

June 2024

Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics, Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China.

The fidelity is widely used to detect quantum phase transitions, which is characterized by either a sharp change of fidelity or the divergence of fidelity susceptibility in the thermodynamical limit when the phase-driving parameter is across the transition point. In this work, we unveil that the occurrence of exact zeros of fidelity in finite-size systems can be applied to detect quantum phase transitions. In general, the fidelity F(γ,γ[over ̃]) always approaches zero in the thermodynamical limit, due to the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe, no matter whether the parameters of two ground states (γ and γ[over ̃]) are in the same phase or different phases, and this makes it difficult to distinguish whether an exact zero of fidelity exists by finite-size analysis.

Diagnosis of Rotor Component Shedding in Rotating Machinery: A Data-Driven Approach.

Sensors (Basel)

June 2024

Institute of Big Data and Information Technology, Wenzhou University, Wenzhou 325027, China.

The potential for rotor component shedding in rotating machinery poses significant risks, necessitating the development of an early and precise fault diagnosis technique to prevent catastrophic failures and reduce maintenance costs. This study introduces a data-driven approach to detect rotor component shedding at its inception, thereby enhancing operational safety and minimizing downtime. Utilizing frequency analysis, this research identifies harmonic amplitudes within rotor vibration data as key indicators of impending faults.

Class-incremental learning with Balanced Embedding Discrimination Maximization.

Neural Netw

November 2024

State Key Laboratory of Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Systems, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China; School of Artificial Intelligence, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100049, China.

Class incremental learning is committed to solving representation learning and classification assignments while avoiding catastrophic forgetting in scenarios where categories are increasing. In this work, a unified method named Balanced Embedding Discrimination Maximization (BEDM) is developed to make the intermediate embedding more distinctive. Specifically, we utilize an orthogonality constraint based on doubly-blocked Toeplitz matrix to minimize the correlation of convolution kernels, and an algorithm for similarity visualization is introduced.

Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) aims to continually learn novel data with limited samples. One of the major challenges is the catastrophic forgetting problem of old knowledge while training the model on new data. To alleviate this problem, recent state-of-the-art methods adopt a well-trained static network with fixed parameters at incremental learning stages to maintain old knowledge.

. In image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), off-by-one vertebral body misalignments are rare but potentially catastrophic. In this study, a novel detection method for such misalignments in IGRT was investigated using densely-connected convolutional networks (DenseNets) for applications towards real-time error prevention and retrospective error auditing.
