• Title: Rotation sensing with improved stability using point source atom interferometry
• Abstract summary: Point source atom interferometry is a promising approach for implementing robust, high-sensitivity, rotation sensors using cold atoms. We present two methods to stabilize the scale factor, one relying on a model-based correction which exploits correlations between multiple features of the interferometer output. We demonstrate both schemes experimentally with complete suppression of scale factor drifts, maintaining the original rotation sensitivity and allowing for bias-free operation over several hours.

• Abstract: Point source atom interferometry is a promising approach for implementing robust, high-sensitivity, rotation sensors using cold atoms. However, its scale factor, i.e., the ratio between the interferometer signal and the actual rotation rate, depends on the initial conditions of the atomic cloud, which may drift in time and result in bias instability, particularly in compact devices with short interrogation times. We present two methods to stabilize the scale factor, one relying on a model-based correction which exploits correlations between multiple features of the interferometer output and works on a single-shot basis, and the other a self-calibrating method where a known bias rotation is applied to every other measurement, requiring no prior knowledge of the underlying model but reducing the sensor bandwidth by a factor of two. We demonstrate both schemes experimentally with complete suppression of scale factor drifts, maintaining the original rotation sensitivity and allowing for bias-free operation over several hours.

• Superresolution in separation estimation between two dynamic incoherent sources using spatial demultiplexing [0.0]
  Recently, perfect measurement based on spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) in Hermite-Gauss modes allowed one to reach the quantum limit of precision for estimation of separation between two weak incoherent stationary sources. In this paper, we consider another deviation from the perfect setup by discarding the assumption about the stationarity of the sources. We formulate a measurement algorithm that allows for the reduction of one parameter for estimation in the stationary sources scenario.

• Rethinking Boundary Discontinuity Problem for Oriented Object Detection [42.136448033031634]
  We show that even state-of-the-art IoU-like methods fail to solve the boundary discontinuity problem. In existing IoU-like methods, the model essentially attempts to fit the angular relationship between box and object, where the break point at angular boundary makes the predictions highly unstable. We propose a dual-optimization paradigm for angles. We decouple reversibility and joint-optim from single smoothing function into two distinct entities, which for the first time achieves the objectives of both correcting angular boundary and blending angle with other parameters.
