Random Forest Prediction of Crystal Structure from Electron Diffraction Patterns

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) diffraction patterns are regularly used to determine the structure of crystalline materials. Electron diffraction is the most common method to solve for unknown or partially known crystal structures, as it provides direct and interpretable feedback on the orientation of crystal grains under the beam [1]. However, it remains a challenge to determine the crystal structure of a new material or even a new phase of an existing material. Analysis of such materials commonly requires manual exploration and comparison with simulated diffraction patterns. This is often a time consuming process with no obvious start point when many similar structures are possible, and this method cannot be used to determine crystal structure or orientation from structures not included in the diffraction libraries. Therefore, we have developed a machine learning model to determine the crystal structure of a material from its electron diffraction pattern.

Random Walks With Tweedie: A Unified View of Score-Based Diffusion Models [In the Spotlight]

We present a concise derivation for several influential score-based diffusion models that relies on only a few textbook results. Diffusion models have recently emerged as powerful tools for generating realistic, synthetic signals—particularly natural images—and often play a role in state-of-the-art algorithms for inverse problems in image processing. While these algorithms are often surprisingly simple, the theory behind them is not, and multiple complex theoretical justifications exist in the literature. Here, in this study, we provide a simple and largely self-contained theoretical justification for score-based diffusion models that is targeted towards the signal processing community. This approach leads to generic algorithmic templates for training and generating samples with diffusion models. We show that several influential diffusion models correspond to particular choices within these templates and demonstrate that alternative, more straightforward algorithmic choices can provide comparable results. This approach has the added benefit of enabling conditional sampling without any likelihood approximation.

Simulating Single Qubit Random

Single qubit RB is used to measure the error of gates via average gate fidelity. A single qubit RB program was made to calculate this. To filter out potential hardware issues, RB was executed through creating a simulator. Upon simulating both noisy and noise-less gates, we determined that there is a mix of both hardware and program issues.

Randomized algorithms for accelerating linear algebraic computations

The project supported the development of new methodologies for performing matrix computations that form key building blocks in modern scientific computing, such as low rank approximation of matrices, and efficient representations of global operators that arise in simulations of physical phenomena.
