Thermodynamic fluctuations in mechanical resonators cause uncertainty in their frequency measurement, fundamentally limiting performance of frequency-based sensors. Recently, integrating nanophotonic motion readout with micro- and nano-mechanical resonators allowed practical chip-scale sensors to routinely operate near this limit in high-bandwidth measurements. However, the exact and general expressions for either thermodynamic frequency measurement uncertainty or efficient, real-time frequency estimators are not well established, particularly for fast and weakly-driven resonators. Here, we derive, and numerically validate, the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) and an efficient maximum-likelihood estimator for the frequency of a classical linear harmonic oscillator subject to thermodynamic fluctuations. For a fluctuating oscillator without external drive, the frequency Allan deviation calculated from simulated resonator motion data agrees with the derived CRLB $sigma_f = {1 over 2pi}sqrt{Gamma over 2tau}$ for averaging times $tau$ below, as well as above, the relaxation time $1overGamma$. The CRLB approach is general and can be extended to driven resonators, non-negligible motion detection imprecision, as well as backaction from a continuous linear quantum measurement.

The microwave cavity perturbation method is often used to determine material parameters (electric permittivity and magnetic permeability) at high frequencies and it relies on measurement of the resonator parameters. We present a method to determine the $Q$-factor and resonance frequency of microwave resonators which is conceptually simple but provides a sensitivity for these parameters which overcomes those of existing methods by an order of magnitude. The microwave resonator is placed in a feedback resonator setup, where the output of an amplifier is connected to its own input with the resonator as a band pass filter. After reaching steady-state oscillation, the feedback circuit is disrupted by a fast microwave switch and the transient signal, which emanates from the resonator, is detected using down-conversion. The Fourier transform of the resulting time-dependent signal yields directly the resonance profile of the resonator. Albeit the method is highly accurate, this comes with a conceptual simplicity, ease of implementation and lower circuit cost. We compare existing methods for this type of measurement to explain the sensitivity of the present technique and we also make a prediction for the ultimate sensitivity for the resonator $Q$ and $f_0$ determination.
We show that a linear quantum harmonic oscillator is chaotic in the sense of Li-Yorke. We also prove that the weighted backward shift map, used as an infinite dimensional linear chaos model, in a separable Hilbert space is chaotic in the sense of Li-Yorke, in addition to being chaotic in the sense of Devaney.
Why heavily parameterized neural networks (NNs) do not overfit the data is an important long standing open question. We propose a phenomenological model of the NN training to explain this non-overfitting puzzle. Our linear frequency principle (LFP) model accounts for a key dynamical feature of NNs: they learn low frequencies first, irrespective of microscopic details. Theory based on our LFP model shows that low frequency dominance of target functions is the key condition for the non-overfitting of NNs and is verified by experiments. Furthermore, through an ideal two-layer NN, we unravel how detailed microscopic NN training dynamics statistically gives rise to a LFP model with quantitative prediction power.
Data correction is probably the least favourite activity amongst users experimenting with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS): if it is not done sufficiently well, this may become evident during the data analysis stage, necessitating the repetition of the data corrections from scratch. A recommended, comprehensive sequence of elementary data correction steps is presented here to alleviate the difficulties associated with data correction. When applied in the proposed order, the resulting data will provide a high degree of accuracy for both solid samples and dispersions. The solution here can be applied without modification to any pinhole-collimated instruments with photon-counting, direct detection area detectors.
We show that the Zipfs law for Chinese characters perfectly holds for sufficiently short texts (few thousand different characters). The scenario of its validity is similar to the Zipfs law for words in short English texts. For long Chinese texts (or for mixtures of short Chinese texts), rank-frequency relations for Chinese characters display a two-layer, hierarchic structure that combines a Zipfian power-law regime for frequent characters (first layer) with an exponential-like regime for less frequent characters (second layer). For these two layers we provide different (though related) theoretical descriptions that include the range of low-frequency characters (hapax legomena). The comparative analysis of rank-frequency relations for Chinese characters versus English words illustrates the extent to which the characters play for Chinese writers the same role as the words for those writing within alphabetical systems.
