The response of gold nanoparticle dimers is studied theoretically near and beyond the limit where the particles are touching. As the particles approach each other, a dominant dipole feature is observed that is pushed into the infrared due to interparticle coupling and that is associated with a large pileup of induced charge in the interparticle gap. The redshift becomes singular as the particle separation decreases. The response weakens for very small separation when the coupling across the interparticle gap becomes so strong that dipolar oscillations across the pair are inhibited. Lower-wavelength, higher-order modes show a similar separation dependence in nearly touching dimers. After touching, singular behavior is observed through the emergence of a new infrared absorption peak, also accompanied by huge charge pileup at the interparticle junction, if initial interparticle-contact is made at a single point. This new mode is distinctly different from the lowest mode of the separated dimer. When the junction is made by contact between flat surfaces, charge at the junction is neutralized and mode evolution is continuous through contact. The calculated singular response explains recent experiments on metallic nanoparticle dimers and is relevant in the design of nanoparticle-based sensors and plasmon circuits.

The charge flow from a single C60 molecule to another one has been probed. The conformation and electronic states of both molecules on the contacting electrodes have been characterized using a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope. While the contac t conductance of a single molecule between two Cu electrodes can vary up to a factor of three depending on electrode geometry, the conductance of the C60-C60 contact is consistently lower by two orders of magnitude. First-principles transport calculations reproduce the experimental results, allow a determination of the actual C60-C60 distances, and identify the essential role of the intermolecular link in bi- and trimolecular chains.

Face recognition performance improves rapidly with the recent deep learning technique developing and underlying large training dataset accumulating. In this paper, we report our observations on how big data impacts the recognition performance. Accord ing to these observations, we build our Megvii Face Recognition System, which achieves 99.50% accuracy on the LFW benchmark, outperforming the previous state-of-the-art. Furthermore, we report the performance in a real-world security certification scenario. There still exists a clear gap between machine recognition and human performance. We summarize our experiments and present three challenges lying ahead in recent face recognition. And we indicate several possible solutions towards these challenges. We hope our work will stimulate the communitys discussion of the difference between research benchmark and real-world applications.
The modern conformal bootstrap program often employs the method of linear functionals to derive the numerical or analytical bounds on the CFT data. These functionals must have a crucial swapping property, allowing to swap infinite summation with the action of the functional in the conformal bootstrap sum rule. Swapping is easy to justify for the popular functionals involving finite sums of derivatives. However, it is far from obvious for cut-touching functionals, involving integration over regions where conformal block decomposition does not converge uniformly. Functionals of this type were recently considered by Mazac in his work on analytic derivation of optimal bootstrap bounds. We derive general swapping criteria for the cut-touching functionals, and check in a few explicit examples that Mazacs functionals pass our criteria.
In this work, starting by simple, approximate (quasi-classical) methods presented in our previous works, we reproduce effectively and generalize final results of Herdeiro and Rebelo on the basic thermodynamical characteristics (entropy and temperatur e) of two interacting Kerr black holes (in touching limit) obtained recently by accurate analysis. Like as it has been done in our previous works, we simply suppose that circumference of the horizon of total black hole (that includes two or, generally, a crystal lattice of many interacting Kerr black holes in touching limit, without angular momentum) holds integer number of reduced Compton wave lengths corresponding to mass spectrum of a small quantum system captured at horizon. (Obviously it is conceptually analogous to Bohr quantization postulate interpreted by de Broglie relation in Old, Bohr-Sommerfeld, quantum theory.) It, by simple mathematical methods, first neighbour approximation of the black holes interaction and first thermodynamical law, implies mentioned basic thermodinamical characteristic of the total black hole as well as any its part, i.e. single black hole. Especially, it is shown that, in limit of increasing number of the black holes, entropy and horizon surface of the total black hole stand observables of the discrete spectrum while entropy and horizon surface of the single black hole tends toward observables of the continuous spectrum.
In this paper the discretized variational principle in the simulation of the Wall Touching Kink Modes (WTKM) is reformulated in terms of independent variables and a corresponding constrained minimization algorithm is elaborated. In a frame of a gener al formalism is proposed an algoritm for constrained linear minimization adapted to this class of problems. The FORTRAN programme that realize the algorithm is described.
