It is found that the computational time of the imaginary-time quantum annealing of this Grover search can be exponentially small, while the counterpart of the quantum evolution driven by the real-time Schrödinger equation could only provide square root speedup, compared with classic search. The present results are consistent with the cases of the time-dependent quantum evolution of the natural Grover problem in previous works. We once again emphasize that the logarithm and square root algorithmic performances are generic in imaginary-time quantum annealing and quantum evolution driven by real-time Schrödinger equation, respectively.

摘要Building communication links among multiple users in a scalable and robust way is a key objective in achieving large-scale quantum networks.In a realistic scenario,noise from the coexisting classical light is inevitable and can ultimately disrupt the entanglement.The previous significant fully connected multiuser entanglement distribution experiments are conducted using dark fiber links,and there is no explicit relation between the entanglement degradations induced by classical noise and its error rate.Here,a semiconductor chip with a high figure-of-merit modal overlap is fabricated to directly generate broadband polarization entanglement.The monolithic source maintains the polarization entanglement fidelity of above 96%for 42 nm bandwidth,with a brightness of 1.2×107Hz mW−1.A continuously working quantum entanglement distribution are performed among three users coexisting with classical light.Under finite-key analysis,secure keys are established and images encryption are enabled as well as quantum secret sharing between users.This work paves the way for practical multiparty quantum communication with integrated photonic architecture compatible with real-world fiber optical communication network.

摘要The promotion of quantum network applications demands the scalable connection of quantum resources.It is preferable to set up multiple logical networks coexisting on a single physical network infrastructure to accommodate a larger number of users.Here we present a quantum virtual network architecture that offers this level of scalability,without being constrained to a fixed physical-layer network relying solely on passive multiplexing components.The architecture can be understood as arising from the superposition of a fully connected entanglement distribution network and port-based virtual local area network,which group multiusers by access ports.In terms of hardware,we leverage a semiconductor chip with a high figure-of-merit modal overlap to directly generate high-quality polarization entanglement,and a streamlined polarization analysis module,which requires only one single-photon detector for each end user.We experimentally perform the BBM92 QKD protocol on the five-user quantum virtual network and demonstrate voice and image encryption on a campus area network.Our results may provide insights into the realization of large-scale quantum networks with integrated and cost-efficient photonic architecture.

摘要For commercial broiler production,about 20,000–30,000 birds are raised in each confined house,which has caused growing public concerns on animal welfare.Currently,daily evaluation of broiler wellbeing and growth is conducted manually,which is labor-intensive and subjectively subject to human error.Therefore,there is a need for an automatic tool to detect and analyze the behaviors of chickens and predict their welfare status.In this study,we developed a YOLOv5-CBAM-broiler model and tested its performance for detecting broilers on litter floor.The proposed model consisted of two parts:(1)basic YOLOv5 model for bird or broiler feature extraction and object detection;and(2)the convolutional block attention module(CBAM)to improve the feature extraction capability of the network and the problem of missed detection of occluded targets and small targets.A complex dataset of broiler chicken images at different ages,multiple pens and scenes(fresh litter versus reused litter)was constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of the new model.In addition,the model was compared to the Faster R-CNN,SSD,YOLOv3,EfficientDet and YOLOv5 models.The results demonstrate that the precision,recall,F1 score and an mAP@0.5 of the proposed method were 97.3%,92.3%,94.7%,and 96.5%,which were superior to the comparison models.In addition,comparing the detection effects in different scenes,the YOLOv5-CBAM model was still better than the comparison method.Overall,the proposed YOLOv5-CBAM-broiler model can achieve real-time accurate and fast target detection and provide technical support for the management and monitoring of birds in commercial broiler houses.

摘要The aim of this paper is to study the conversions between Pythagorean fuzzy sets and Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets.Besides,an ORESTE method based on multi-attribute decision making with Pythagorean fuzzy sets is developed by utilising the developed conversions.In this paper,according to the geometric representations of Pythagorean fuzzy sets and Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets,two types of conversions between the two fuzzy sets are constructed,which are further used to derive information measures include entropy and cross-entropy measures of Pythagorean fuzzy sets.Then,by combining with the ORESTE method,a direct decision procedure for multi-attribute decision making with Pythagorean fuzzy information is developed.Finally,a numerical example of the evaluation of regional energy efficiency is shown to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the developed decision procedure.

摘要Topological data analysis can extract effective information from higher-dimensional data.Its mathematical basis is persistent homology.The persistent homology can calculate topological features at different spatiotemporal scales of the dataset,that is,establishing the integrated taxonomic relation among points,lines,and simplices.Here,the simplicial network composed of all-order simplices in a simplicial complex is essential.Because the sequence of nested simplicial subnetworks can be regarded as a discrete Morse function from the simplicial network to real values,a method based on the concept of critical simplices can be developed by searching all-order spanning trees.Employing this new method,not only the Morse function values with the theoretical minimum number of critical simplices can be obtained,but also the Betti numbers and composition of all-order cavities in the simplicial network can be calculated quickly.Finally,this method is used to analyze some examples and compared with other methods,showing its effectiveness and feasibility.
