• Title: New Limits on Spontaneous Wave Function Collapse Models with the XENONnT Data
• Authors: Inwook Kim
• Abstract summary: We have analyzed recently published XENONnT data for the spontaneous X-ray emission signature predicted by the objective wave function collapse model of quantum mechanics. With extremely low background and large exposure, XENONnT data can be used to completely exclude the theoretically predicted collapse parameters of continuous spontaneous localization(CSL) model suggested by Ghirardi, Rhimini and Weber.

• Abstract: We have analyzed recently published XENONnT data for the spontaneous X-ray emission signature predicted by the objective wave function collapse model of quantum mechanics. With extremely low background and large exposure, XENONnT data can be used to completely exclude the theoretically predicted collapse parameters of continuous spontaneous localization~(CSL) model suggested by Ghirardi, Rhimini and Weber. Our result strongly suggests that the simplest version of the CSL model with the white-noise assumption is unlikely to provide answers to the long-standing measurement problem of quantum mechanics and motivates pursuits of more complex versions of the theory. If the result is interpreted with the Di\'{o}si-Penrose gravitational wave function collapse model, our limit improves the previous limit by a factor of 5.7. Detailed analysis using more precise background modelling can further improve the limits.

  We explore the impacts of a dense-to-sparse gating mixture of experts (MoE) on the maximum likelihood estimation under the MoE. We propose using a novel activation dense-to-sparse gate, which routes the output of a linear layer to an activation function before delivering them to the softmax function.

We show how to maximize the likelihood of a symbolic constraint w.r.t the neural network's output distribution. We also evaluate our approach on Sudoku and shortest-path prediction cast as autoregressive generation.

  We develop an artificial intelligence framework which combines a neural network trained to mimic simulated data from a model Hamiltonian with automatic differentiation to recover unknown parameters from experimental data. In doing so, we illustrate the ability to build and train a differentiable model only once, which then can be applied in real-time to multi-dimensional scattering data.

  Differentiable causal discovery has proposed to factorize the data generating process into a set of modules. We study the generalization and adaption performance of such modular neural causal models. Our analysis shows that the modular neural causal models outperform other models on both zero and few-shot adaptation in low data regimes.

• A Sparse Model of Quantum Holography [0.0]
  We study a sparse version of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model defined on random hypergraphs constructed either by a random pruning procedure or by randomly sampling regular hypergraphs. We argue that this sparse SYK model recovers the interesting global physics of ordinary SYK even when $k$ is of order unity. Our argument proceeds by constructing a path integral for the sparse model which reproduces the conventional SYK path integral plus gapped fluctuations.
