Individual atoms trapped by optical ‘tweezers’ are emerging as a promising computational platform.
Diffusion models have recently produced outstanding results on various generating tasks, including the creation of images, 3D point clouds, and molecular conformers. Ito stochastic differential equations (SDE) are a unified framework that can incorporate these models. The models acquire knowledge of time-dependent score fields through score-matching, which later directs the reverse SDE during generative sampling. Variance-exploding (VE) and variance-preserving (VP) SDE are common diffusion models. EDM offers the finest performance to date by expanding on these compositions. The existing training method for diffusion models can still be enhanced, despite achieving outstanding empirical results.
The Stable Target Field (STF) objective is a generalized variation of the denoising score-matching objective. Particularly, the high volatility of the denoising score matching (DSM) objective’s training targets can result in subpar performance. They divide the score field into three regimes to comprehend the cause of this volatility better. According to their investigation, the phenomenon mostly occurs in the intermediate regime, defined by various modes or data points having a similar impact on the scores. In other words, under this regime, it is still being determined where the noisy samples produced throughout the forward process originated. Figure 1(a) illustrates the differences between the DSM and their proposed STF objectives.

Rare clouds that give off bright, multi-colored light like an aurora were recently spotted at multiple locations in the Arctic. But what causes them?
Arrows of Time

The human mind has long grappled with the elusive nature of time: what it is, how to record it, how it regulates life, and whether it exists as a fundamental building block of the universe. This timeline traces our evolving understanding of time through a history of observations in CULTURE, PHYSICS, TIMEKEEPING and BIOLOGY.
Australia’s first inhabitants, the ancestors of today’s aboriginal peoples, are believed to have embraced a timeless view of nature, in which the present and past are intimately connected. The spirits of long-dead ancestors, for example, were believed to inhabit the living. These spirits reflected a long-ago golden age sometimes known as the Dreamtime.
NASA astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to measure the mass of a white dwarf, an important step for understanding how stars die.
Scientists have discovered an extremely rare star system that is doomed to explode in a ‘kilonova’ caused by the merger of two neutron stars.
This life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is in a certain sense the whole.
