Impact of g -factors and valleys on spin qubits in a silicon double quantum dot

Hwang, J.C.C. (author), Yang, C.H. (author), Veldhorst, M. (author), Hendrickx, N.W. (author), Fogarty, M. A. (author), Huang, W. (author), Hudson, F. E. (author), Morello, A. (author), Dzurak, A. S. (author)

We define single electron spin qubits in a silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor double quantum dot system. By mapping the qubit resonance frequency as a function of a gate-induced electric field, the spectrum reveals an anticrossing that is consistent with an intervalley spin-orbit coupling. We fit the data from which we extract an intervalley...

A Matrix-Based Structure for Vario-Scale Vector Representation over a Wide Range of Map Scales: The Case of River Network Data

Huang, L. (author), Ai, Tinghua (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author), Yan, Xiongfeng (author), Yang, Min (author)

The representation of vector data at variable scales has been widely applied in geographic information systems and map-based services. When the scale changes across a wide range, a complex generalization that involves multiple operations is required to transform the data. To present such complex generalization, we proposed a matrix model to...

Recurrent knowledge graph embedding for effective recommendation

Sun, Zhu (author), Yang, J. (author), Zhang, J. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Huang, Long Kai (author), Xu, Chi (author)

Knowledge graphs (KGs) have proven to be effective to improve recommendation. Existing methods mainly rely on hand-engineered features from KGs (e.g., meta paths), which requires domain knowledge. This paper presents RKGE, a KG embedding approach that automatically learns semantic representations of both entities and paths between entities...

DisQ: Disentangling Quantitative MRI Mapping of the Heart

Yang, C. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), Huang, Lu (author), Xia, Liming (author), Tao, Q. (author)

Quantitative MRI (qMRI) of the heart has become an important clinical tool for examining myocardial tissue properties. Because heart is a moving object, it is usually imaged with electrocardiogram and respiratory gating during acquisition, to “freeze” its motion. In reality, gating is more-often-than-not imperfect given the heart rate...
