A dephasing sweet spot with enhanced dipolar coupling

Pasquale Scarlino

Two-level systems (TLSs) are the basic units of quantum computers but face a trade-off between operation speed and coherence due to shared coupling paths. Here, we investigate a TLS given by a singlet-triplet (ST+) transition. We identify a magnetic-field ...

FDS: Frequency-Aware Denoising Score for Text-Guided Latent Diffusion Image Editing

Zicong Jiang, Sabine Süsstrunk, Tong Zhang, Yufan Ren

Text-guided image editing using Text-to-Image (T2I) models often fails to yield satisfactory results, frequently introducing unintended modifications, such as the loss of local detail and color changes. In this paper, we analyze these failure cases and att ...
