Despite the empirical success of the rough Bergomi (rBergomi) model in modeling volatility dynamics, its practical use remains challenging due to high computational complexity in both pricing and calibration arising from its non-Markovian structure. To address these difficulties, we develop an efficient computational framework. First, we propose a modified-s
A Rapid Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition System for Fast Synthesis of Epitaxial Graphene Under Ambient Pressure
cond-mat.mtrl-sciShikhar Kumar Gupta, Meet Ghelani, Pragna Datta, Subhalakshmi Guha
Graphene has emerged as a promising material for next-generation electronic and thermal devices owing to its exceptional charge transport and thermal conductivity. However, high-quality samples are predominantly obtained via mechanical exfoliation from graphite crystals, a process that inherently lacks scalability. Despite extensive efforts toward large-area

We theoretically present new unit circuits of Kerr parametric oscillators (KPOs) with four-body interactions, which enable the scalable embedding of all-to-all connected logical Ising spins using the Lechner-Hauke-Zoller (LHZ) scheme. These unit circuits enable four-body interactions using linear couplers, making the circuit fabrication and characterization

This paper extends our previous controllability results for a class of coupled linear parabolic systems with nonlocal interactions, motivated by applications in finance such as generalized Black--Scholes models. We establish local null controllability at a fixed time T>0 for a class of semilinear, nonlocally coupled systems driven by a single internal contro

After decades of efforts, optical long-baseline interferometry has become a mainstream observational technique in terms of operation robustness and user friendliness. Interferometry has opened a new observational window, enabling (sub)au-scale resolution of massive stars and direct measurements of orbital parameters, wind structures, and magnetic phenomena.

A Low-Power Variable Gain (VG) mm-Wave Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is designed and simulated in a 28-nm CMOS process. The LNA utilizes a simple, yet novel, technique presented in this paper to vary the small-signal output resistance to provide gain control. The amplifier also utilizes forward body biasing to reduce the supply voltage to 0.7 V and enhance power

This paper presents an in-memory computing (IMC) architecture developed on an 8x8 array of 8T SRAM cells. This architecture enables both multi-bit parallel Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) operations and standard memory processing through charge-sharing on dedicated read bit-lines. By leveraging the maturity of SRAM technology, this work introduces an 8T SRAM-based

We study a one-dimensional gas of $N$ Brownian particles that diffuse independently but are simultaneously reset whenever any of them reaches a fixed threshold located at $L > 0$. For any $N > 2$, the system reaches a non-equilibrium stationary state (NESS) at long-times with strong long-range correlations. These correlations emerge purely from the dynamics,

With the rapid advancement of intelligent education, Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) has attracted increasing attention by integrating educational psychology with deep learning technologies. Unlike traditional paper-and-pencil testing, CAT aims to efficiently and accurately assess examinee abilities by adaptively selecting the most suitable items during
FR-TTS: Test-Time Scaling for NTP-based Image Generation with Effective Filling-based Reward Signal
cs.CVHang Xu, Linjiang Huang, Feng Zhao
Test-time scaling (TTS) has become a prevalent technique in image generation, significantly boosting output quality by expanding the number of parallel samples and filtering them using pre-trained reward models. However, applying this powerful methodology to the next-token prediction (NTP) paradigm remains challenging. The primary obstacle is the low correla
How DeFi Protocols Choose Oracle Providers: Evidence on Sourcing, Dependence, and Switching Costs
cs.CRGiulio Caldarelli
As data is an essential asset for any DeFi application, selecting an oracle is a critical decision for its success. To date, academic research has mainly focused on improving oracle technology and internal economics, while the drivers of oracle choice on the client side remain largely unexplored. This study addresses this gap by gathering insights from leadi
Concentration Within Distribution: Unmasking Bitcoin's Structural Centralization Through Network Science
cs.SIMyriam Nonaka, F. Javier Marín-Rodríguez, Alexander Jiricny, Miguel Romance
We construct the Bitcoin User Network (BUN) directly from raw blockchain data up to late 2025, which allows us to explore its mesoscopic properties and trace its temporal evolution. In particular, we analyze the structure of connected components and directed assortativity through the four variants of Newman's coefficient, implemented via custom algorithms an

Tor is a widely used anonymity network that conceals user identities by routing traffic through encrypted relays, yet it remains vulnerable to traffic correlation attacks that deanonymize users by matching patterns in ingress and egress traffic. However, existing correlation methods suffer from two major limitations: limited robustness to noise and partial o
Rotatable Antenna-array-enhanced Direction-sensing for Low-altitude Communication Network: Method and Performance
eess.SPJinbing Jiang, Feng Shu, Bin Deng, Maolin Li
In a practical multi-antenna receiver, each element of the receive antenna array has a directive antenna pattern, which is still not fully explored and investigated in academia and industry until now. When the emitter is deviated greatly from the normal direction of antenna element or is close to the null-point direction, the sensing energy by array will be
