Steel Wire Rope Damage Width Identification Method Based on Residual Networks and Multi-Channel Feature Fusion by Yan Peng, Junde Liu, Junjie He, Yongjun Qiu, Xie Liu, Le Chen, Fengfeng Yang, Bulong Chen, Bin Tang, Yuhan Wang

“…Therefore, based on the magnetic flux leakage method, this study proposes a method to identify the damage width of steel wire rope for multi-channel fusion of a Hall sensor array. Firstly, the Hall sensor array is used to capture the magnetic flux leakage data of steel wire rope; then, continuous wavelet transform is used to decompose the original data, and moving average filtering is used to denoise each component; the denoised components are merged and converted into a time spectrum, and the time spectrum is classified by ResNet50 image classification model to realize the detection of wire rope damage width. …”

Proposal for realization and detection of Kitaev quantum spin liquid with Rydberg atoms by Yi-Hong Chen, Bao-Zong Wang, Ting-Fung Jeffrey Poon, Xin-Chi Zhou, Zheng-Xin Liu, Xiong-Jun Liu

“…Here we propose to realize and detect Kitaev chiral spin liquid in a deformed honeycomb array of Rydberg atoms. With a laser-assisted dipole-dipole interaction mechanism which realizes both effective hopping and pairing terms for hard-core bosons, together with van der Waals interactions, we achieve the pure Kitaev model with high precision. …”
