Summary: This paper presents a Lyapunov control scheme to drive finite-dimensional closed and Markovian open quantum systems into any target pure state with high fidelity and short time. The control law is established using a Lyapunov function and the optimal eigenvalues are searched using the quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm. A improved constrained QPSO algorithm is proposed for open systems with small denominator in the control law. Numerical simulations on different quantum systems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Summary: This paper proposes an enhanced scatter search strategy, using opposition-based learning, to solve the problem of automated test case generation based on path coverage (ATCG-PC). The proposed ESSENT algorithm selects the path with the lowest path entropy among the uncovered paths as the target path and generates new test cases to cover the target path by modifying the dimensions of existing test cases. Experimental results show that the ESSENT algorithm outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms, achieving maximum path coverage with fewer test cases.

Summary: Linking digital accounts belonging to the same user is crucial for security, user satisfaction, and next-generation service development. However, research on account linkage is mainly focused on social networks, and there is a lack of studies in other domains. To address this, we propose SmartSSO, a framework that automates the account linkage process by analyzing user routines and behavior during login processes. Our experiments on a large dataset show that SmartSSO achieves over 98% accuracy in hit-precision.
