Uncertainty Quantification in High-Low Dynamic System Coupling Using RAVEN and TRANSFORM

This report demonstrates new functionality and applications stemming from the development of high fidelity to low fidelity (high-low) coupling for system simulations and to further explore the capabilities of RAVEN in the performance of uncertainty quantification in this kind of high-low coupled system models. The work builds from previous work on high-low coupling that utilized CTF, the high fidelity subchannel analysis code, with a low fidelity model built in TRANSFORM, the system analysis code, utilizing the Functional Mock-Up Interface (FMI)

An Ensemble Score Filter for Tracking High-Dimensional Nonlinear Dynamical Systems

We propose an ensemble score filter (EnSF) for solving high-dimensional nonlinear filtering problems with superior accuracy. A major drawback of existing filtering methods, e.g., particle filters or ensemble Kalman filters, is the low accuracy in handling high-dimensional and highly nonlinear problems. EnSF attacks this challenge by exploiting the score-based diffusion model, defined in a pseudo-temporal domain, to characterizing the evolution of the filtering density. EnSF stores the information of the recursively updated filtering density function in the score function, in stead of storing the information in a set of finite Monte Carlo samples (used in particle filters and ensemble Kalman filters). Unlike existing diffusion models that train neural networks to approximate the score function, we develop a training-free score estimation that uses mini-batch-based Monte Carlo estimator to directly approximate the score function at any pseudo-spatial-temporal location, which provides sufficient accuracy in solving high-dimensional nonlinear problems as well as saves tremendous amount of time spent on training neural networks. Another essential aspect of EnSF is its analytical update step, gradually incorporating data information into the score function, which is crucial in mitigating the degeneracy issue faced when dealing with very high-dimensional nonlinear filtering problems. High-dimensional Lorenz systems are used to demonstrate the performance of our method. EnSF provides surprisingly impressive performance in reliably tracking extremely high-dimensional Lorenz systems (up to 1,000,000 dimension) with highly nonlinear observation processes, which is a well-known challenging problem for existing filtering methods.

Feasibility of Hybrid Electro- and Acousto-Dynamical Systems for Quantum Optical Networks

We present results on an exploratory research program that aims to study the feasibility of novel, sustained, dense, and efficient quantum information generation, storage, retrieval, relay and distribution devices and systems towards future advanced quantum networking architectures. The pathfinder program is anchored on original ideas and device conceptual designs that turn the phononic-sourced challenges into an opportunity towards optimized transduction chains over a broad range of length and energy/temperature scales. The proposal involves conceptual design and feasibility towards integration, commissioning and benchmarking of challenging transduction devices in a scaled quantum network setup.
