Quantum processing of classical data fundamentally relies on efficiently mapping classical datasets onto the amplitudes of quantum states. Preparing large amplitude-encoded states, however, remains a major bottleneck in quantum computing. In this paper, we introduce a novel state-preparation framework we call Q-MERGE, …
Vision-language-action models benefit from the understanding and reasoning capabilities of pretrained vision-language models, but action-only supervision provides limited grounding in world dynamics. Conversely, world-action models inherit spatiotemporal priors from video generation models, yet remain limited in semant …
Efficient action generation in vision-language-action (VLA) models requires capturing both coarse action structure and fine-grained details. Discrete action tokens provide compact structural representations but sacrifice precision, while continuous action tokens offer high precision but often require multiple denoising …
Human motion is shaped by both external acoustic events and behavioral intent: spatial audio conveys environmental cues that elicit or guide a response, while text specifies the desired action and how it should be performed. In this paper, we study the novel task of human motion synthesis jointly conditioned on spatial …
Humanoid robots can step over, squeeze past, and duck under obstacles, but learning to select and coordinate these behaviors from onboard perception remains challenging. Many existing approaches rely on task-specific reinforcement-learning objectives or curated motion libraries, making broad behavioral coverage costly. …
