RESUMO
The examination of entanglement across various degrees of freedom has been pivotal in augmenting our understanding of fundamental physics, extending to high dimensional quantum states, and promising the scalability of quantum technologies. In this paper, we demonstrate the photon number path entanglement in the frequency domain by implementing a frequency beam splitter that converts the single-photon frequency to another with 50% probability using Bragg scattering four-wave mixing. The two-photon NOON state in a single-mode fiber is generated in the frequency domain, manifesting the two-photon interference with two-fold enhanced resolution compared to that of single-photon interference, showing the outstanding stability of the interferometer. This successful translation of quantum states in the frequency domain will pave the way toward the discovery of fascinating quantum phenomena and scalable quantum information processing.
RESUMO
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is widely used in dental clinics but exhibits limitations in assessing soft tissue pathology because of its lack of contrast resolution and low Hounsfield Units (HU) quantification accuracy. We aimed to increase the image quality and HU accuracy of CBCTs while preserving anatomical structures. We generated CT-like images from CBCT images using a patchwise contrastive learning-based GAN model. Our model was trained on unpaired CT and CBCT datasets with the novel combination of losses and the feature extractor pretrained on our training dataset. We evaluated the quality of the images generated by our model in terms of Fréchet inception distance (FID), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE). Additionally, the structure preservation performance was assessed by the structure score. As a result, the generated CT-like images by our model were significantly superior to those generated by various baseline models in terms of FID, PSNR, MAE, RMSE, and structure score. Therefore, we demonstrated that our model provided the complementary benefits of preserving the anatomical structures of the input CBCT images and improving the image quality to be similar to those of CT images.

Semiconductor wafer defects severely affect product development. In order to reduce the occurrence of defects, it is necessary to identify why they occur, and it can be inferred by analyzing the patterns of defects. Automatic defect classification (ADC) is used to analyze large amounts of samples. ADC can reduce human resource requirements for defect inspection and improve inspection quality. Although several ADC systems have been developed to identify and classify wafer surfaces, the conventional ML-based ADC methods use numerous image recognition features for defect classification and tend to be costly, inefficient, and time-consuming. Here, an ADC technique based on a deep ensemble feature framework (DEFF) is proposed that classifies different kinds of wafer surface damage automatically. DEFF has an ensemble feature network and the final decision network layer. The feature network learns features using multiple pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models representing wafer defects and the ensemble features are computed by concatenating these features. The decision network layer decides the classification labels using the ensemble features. The classification performance is further enhanced by using a voting-based ensemble learning strategy in combination with the deep ensemble features. We show the efficacy of the proposed strategy using the real-world data from SK Hynix.

Recently a number of studies demonstrated impressive performance on diverse vision-language multi-modal tasks such as image captioning and visual question answering by extending the BERT architecture with multi-modal pre-training objectives. In this work we explore a broad set of multi-modal representation learning tasks in the medical domain, specifically using radiology images and the unstructured report. We propose Medical Vision Language Learner (MedViLL), which adopts a BERT-based architecture combined with a novel multi-modal attention masking scheme to maximize generalization performance for both vision-language understanding tasks (diagnosis classification, medical image-report retrieval, medical visual question answering) and vision-language generation task (radiology report generation). By statistically and rigorously evaluating the proposed model on four downstream tasks with three radiographic image-report datasets (MIMIC-CXR, Open-I, and VQA-RAD), we empirically demonstrate the superior downstream task performance of MedViLL against various baselines, including task-specific architectures.

The symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are largely related to impaired executive functioning due to frontostriatal dysfunction. To better treat OCD, the development of biomarkers to bridge the gap between the symptomatic-cognitive phenotype and brain abnormalities is warranted. Therefore, we aimed to identify biomarkers of impaired organizational strategies during visual encoding processes in OCD patients by developing an eye tracking-based Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test (RCFT). In 104 OCD patients and 114 healthy controls (HCs), eye movements were recorded during memorization of the RCFT figure, and organizational scores were evaluated. Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) scores were calculated to evaluate the distance between a participant's eye gaze distribution and a hypothetical uniform distribution within the RCFT figure. Narrower gaze distributions within the RCFT figure, which yielded higher KLD scores, indicated that the participant was more obsessed with detail and had less organizational strategy. The OCD patients showed lower organizational scores than the HCs. Although no group differences in KLD scores were noted, KLD scores were significantly associated with organization T scores in the OCD group. The current study findings suggest that eye tracking biomarkers of visual memory encoding provide a rapidly determined index of executive functioning, such as organizational strategies, in OCD patients.
