Unifying Physical Backpropagation

arXiv:2608. 11585v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physical computing systems exploit device dynamics for computation, but their gradient-based optimization is challenging: backpropagation through a digital twin suffers from model-reality gap.

Explainable quantum-compressed machine learning for complex fluid flows

arXiv:2607. 21688v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine-learning surrogates of physical systems face a paradox: explainable models facing the challenge of expressivity to capture complex nonlinear flows, whereas expressive deep surrogates match high-fidelity simulations only through massive parameterisations that turn the learned dynamics into a black box.

Decoupled Physical Modeling and Execution for Physics Reasoning

The paper introduces a framework that separates physical modeling from execution in physics reasoning tasks. It uses a two‑stage post‑training approach: supervised fine‑tuning to build structured models and reinforcement learning with rubric‑based feedback to refine them. Experiments on PhysReason, PhyX, and SeePhys show that this explicit modeling improves reasoning performance by about 3% on average for small LLMs.

Structure-preserving uncertainty quantification for GENERIC dynamics

arXiv:2608. 12624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structure-preserving machine learning embeds physical structure directly into model architectures, yet uncertainty quantification (UQ) for such hard-constrained models remains limited because standard UQ methods may violate the encoded admissibility conditions, require architectural modifications, or impose substantial computational costs.
