To ensure the security of key distribution, we aim to use true random sequences generated by true random number generators as the source of randomness. In practical systems, due to the difficulty of obtaining true random numbers, pseudo-random number generators are used instead. Although the random numbers generated by pseudorandom number generators are statistically random, meeting the requirements of uniform distribution and independence,they rely on an initial seed to generate corresponding pseudo-random sequences. Attackers may predict future elements from the initial elements of the random sequence, posing a security risk to quantum key distribution. This paper analyzes the problems existing in current pseudo-random number generators and proposes corresponding attack methods and applicable scenarios based on the vulnerabilities in the pseudo-random sequence generation process. Under certain conditions, it is possible to obtain the keys of the communicating parties with very low error rates, thus effectively attacking the quantum key system. This paper presents new requirements for the use of random numbers in quantum key systems, which can effectively guide the security evaluation of quantum key distribution protocols.展开更多

文摘Quantum error correction is a crucial technology for realizing quantum computers.These computers achieve faulttolerant quantum computing by detecting and correcting errors using decoding algorithms.Quantum error correction using neural network-based machine learning methods is a promising approach that is adapted to physical systems without the need to build noise models.In this paper,we use a distributed decoding strategy,which effectively alleviates the problem of exponential growth of the training set required for neural networks as the code distance of quantum error-correcting codes increases.Our decoding algorithm is based on renormalization group decoding and recurrent neural network decoder.The recurrent neural network is trained through the ResNet architecture to improve its decoding accuracy.Then we test the decoding performance of our distributed strategy decoder,recurrent neural network decoder,and the classic minimum weight perfect matching(MWPM)decoder for rotated surface codes with different code distances under the circuit noise model,the thresholds of these three decoders are about 0.0052,0.0051,and 0.0049,respectively.Our results demonstrate that the distributed strategy decoder outperforms the other two decoders,achieving approximately a 5%improvement in decoding efficiency compared to the MWPM decoder and approximately a 2%improvement compared to the recurrent neural network decoder.

文摘Traditional active power sharing in microgrids,achieved by the distributed average consensus,requires each controller to continuously trigger and communicate with each other,which is a wasteful use of the limited computation and communication resources of the secondary controller.To enhance the efficiency of secondary control,we developed a novel distributed self-triggered active power-sharing control strategy by introducing the signum function and a flexible linear clock.Unlike continuous communication–based controllers,the proposed self-triggered distributed controller prompts distributed generators to perform control actions and share information with their neighbors only at specific time instants monitored by the linear clock.Therefore,this approach results in a significant reduction in both the computation and communication requirements.Moreover,this design naturally avoids Zeno behavior.Furthermore,a modified triggering condition was established to achieve further reductions in computation and communication.The simulation results confirmed that the proposed control scheme achieves distributed active power sharing with very few controller triggers,thereby substantially enhancing the efficacy of secondary control in MGs.

文摘Artificial intelligence(AI)plays a critical role in signal recognition of distributed sensor systems(DSS),boosting its applications in multiple monitoring fields.Due to the domain differences between massive sensors in signal acquisition conditions,such as manufacturing process,deployment,and environments,current AI schemes for signal recognition of DSS frequently encounter poor generalization performance.In this paper,an adaptive decentralized artificial intelligence(ADAI)method for signal recognition of DSS is proposed,to improve the entire generalization performance.By fine-tuning pre-trained model with the unlabeled data in each domain,the ADAI scheme can train a series of adaptive AI models for all target domains,significantly reducing the false alarm rate(FAR)and missing alarm rate(MAR)induced by domain differences.The field tests about intrusion signal recognition with distributed optical fiber sensors system demonstrate the efficacy of the ADAI scheme,showcasing a FAR of merely 4.3%and 0%,along with a MAR of only 1.4%and 2.7%within two specific target domains.The ADAI scheme is expected to offer a practical paradigm for signal recognition of DSS in multiple application fields.

文摘The query processing in distributed database management systems(DBMS)faces more challenges,such as more operators,and more factors in cost models and meta-data,than that in a single-node DMBS,in which query optimization is already an NP-hard problem.Learned query optimizers(mainly in the single-node DBMS)receive attention due to its capability to capture data distributions and flexible ways to avoid hard-craft rules in refinement and adaptation to new hardware.In this paper,we focus on extensions of learned query optimizers to distributed DBMSs.Specifically,we propose one possible but general architecture of the learned query optimizer in the distributed context and highlight differences from the learned optimizer in the single-node ones.In addition,we discuss the challenges and possible solutions.
文摘Cell-free systems significantly improve network capacity by enabling joint user service without cell boundaries,eliminating intercell interference.However,to satisfy further capacity demands,it leads to high-cost problems of both hardware and power consumption.In this paper,we investigate multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RISs)aided cell-free systems where RISs are introduced to improve spectrum efficiency in an energy-efficient way.To overcome the centralized high complexity and avoid frequent information exchanges,a cooperative distributed beamforming design is proposed to maximize the weighted sum-rate performance.In particular,the alternating optimization method is utilized with the distributed closed-form solution of active beamforming being derived locally at access points,and phase shifts are obtained centrally based on the Riemannian conjugate gradient(RCG)manifold method.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed design whose performance is comparable to the centralized scheme and show great superiority of the RISs-aided system over the conventional cellular and cell-free system.

文摘Gas quenching and vacuum quenching process are widely applied to accelerate solvent volatilization to induce nucleation of perovskites in blade-coating method.In this work,we found these two pre-crystallization processes lead to different order of crystallization dynamics within the perovskite thin film,resulting in the differences of additive distribution.We then tailor-designed an additive molecule named 1,3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)thiourea to obtain films with fewer defects and holes at the buried interface,and prepared perovskite solar cells with a certified efficiency of 23.75%.Furthermore,this work also demonstrates an efficiency of 20.18%for the large-area perovskite solar module(PSM)with an aperture area of 60.84 cm^(2).The PSM possesses remarkable continuous operation stability for maximum power point tracking of T_(90)>1000 h in ambient air.

文摘Capturing ultrafast dynamics over a large momentum space is critical for revealing the relationship between the electronic and structural modulations in quantum materials.Here,by performing time-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements at the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility(SECUF)equipped with an extreme ultraviolet light source,we reveal the ultrafast dynamics of a charge-density wave(CDW)material,1T-TiSe_(2),upon photoexcitation.Pump-induced CDW melting is revealed from two aspects:gap closing of the CDW at the Brillouin zone(BZ)center and weakening of the CDW folded band at the BZ boundary.By comparing the transient electronic structure and spectral weight over a large momentum space,we further reveal the carrier redistribution involving the excitation of electrons from theГpoint to the M point.This study provides a comprehensive picture of the physics and ultrafast dynamics of a CDW material across the entire BZ.
文摘In the process of quantum key distribution(QKD), the communicating parties need to randomly determine quantum states and measurement bases. To ensure the security of key distribution, we aim to use true random sequences generated by true random number generators as the source of randomness. In practical systems, due to the difficulty of obtaining true random numbers, pseudo-random number generators are used instead. Although the random numbers generated by pseudorandom number generators are statistically random, meeting the requirements of uniform distribution and independence,they rely on an initial seed to generate corresponding pseudo-random sequences. Attackers may predict future elements from the initial elements of the random sequence, posing a security risk to quantum key distribution. This paper analyzes the problems existing in current pseudo-random number generators and proposes corresponding attack methods and applicable scenarios based on the vulnerabilities in the pseudo-random sequence generation process. Under certain conditions, it is possible to obtain the keys of the communicating parties with very low error rates, thus effectively attacking the quantum key system. This paper presents new requirements for the use of random numbers in quantum key systems, which can effectively guide the security evaluation of quantum key distribution protocols.

文摘The present study focuses on simulating supercavitating projectile tail-slaps with an analytical method.A model of 3σ-normal distribution tail-slaps for a supercavitating projectile is established.Meanwhile,theσ-κequation is derived,which is included in this model.Next,the supercavitating projectile tail-slaps are simulated by combining the proposed model and the Logvinovich supercavity section expansion equation.The results show that the number of tail-slaps depends on where the initial several tail-slaps are under the same initial condition.If the distances between the initial several tail-slap positions are large,the number of tail-slaps will considerably decrease,and vice versa.Furthermore,a series of simulations is employed to analyze the influence of the initial angular velocity and the centroid.Analysis of variance is used to evaluate simulation results.The evaluation results suggest that the projectile’s initial angular velocity and centroid have a major impact on the tail-slap number.The larger the value of initial angular velocity,the higher the probability of an increase in tail-slap number.Additionally,the closer the centroid is to the projectile head,the less likely a tail-slap number increase.This study offers important insights into supercavitating projectile tail-slap research.

文摘Mode-pairing quantum key distribution(MP-QKD)is an excellent scheme that can exceed the repeaterless ratetransmittance bound without complex phase locking.Nevertheless,MP-QKD usually needs to ensure that the communication distances of the two channels are equal.To address the problem,the asymmetric MP-QKD protocol is proposed.In this paper,we enhance the performance of the asymmetric MP-QKD protocol based on the advantage distillation(AD)method without modifying the quantum process.The simulation results show that the AD method can extend the communication distance by about 70 km in the case of asymmetry.And we observe that as the misalignment error increases,the AD method further increases the expandable communication distance.Our work can further enhance the robustness and promote the practical application of the asymmetric MP-QKD.
