Lorentz violation alleviates gravitationally induced entanglement degradation by Wentao Liu, Cuihong Wen, Jieci Wang

“…We establish the relationship between the Hartle-Hawking vacuum state and the Boulware number states for this case, and employ the near horizon approximation in an appropriate form to rewrite the black hole metric into a Rindler-like form. Subsequently, using this revised metric, the analytical forms of logarithmic negativity and mutual information are derived and plotted as functions of Rob’s distance from the r = 0 point. …”

Conditional similarity triplets enable covariate-informed representations of single-cell data by Chi-Jane Chen, Haidong Yi, Natalie Stanley

“…Results Here, we introduce a novel approach for incorporating measured covariates in optimizing model parameters to ultimately specify per-sample encodings that accurately affect both immune signatures and additional clinical information. Our introduced method CytoCoSet is a set-based encoding method for learning per-sample featurizations, which formulates a loss function with an additional triplet term penalizing samples with similar covariates from having disparate embedding results in per-sample representations. …”
