Accurate excited state energies are essential for interpreting fluorescence and photochemical processes, yet variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs) on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware have largely been confined to ground states. Subspace-search VQE (SSVQE) offers a NISQ-friendly route to excited states …
How can we predict which base checkpoint is worth an expensive round of agentic post-training? End-to-end pass@$K$ tests whether successful behavior already appears in a base model's distribution, but it is a poor fit for agentic coding: many base checkpoints cannot reliably produce the well-formed tool invocation requ …
Field robots operating across time of day and sensing modalities require accurate image correspondences within onboard time and resource budgets. However, accuracy and runtime reported for individual methods on a single device provide limited guidance for choosing a matcher and its configuration on a target platform. W …
