On the Secrecy Performance of Continuous-Aperture Arrays Over Fading Channels

This paper analyzes the secrecy performance of continuous-aperture array (CAPA) systems over Rayleigh fading channels, deriving theoretical expressions for secrecy rate and outage probability across single, multiple independent, and multiple collaborative eavesdropper scenarios, and demonstrating that CAPA systems outperform traditional spatially-discrete arrays by achieving higher secrecy rates, lower outage probabilities, and a diversity order equal to the spatial degrees of freedom.

Formal Entropy-Regularized Control of Stochastic Systems

This paper presents a formal control synthesis framework for continuous-state stochastic systems that minimizes a linear combination of system entropy (measured by KL divergence to uniform) and cumulative cost by deriving novel bounds on the entropy difference between continuous distributions and their finite-state abstractions, thereby enabling entropy-aware controllers with rigorous performance guarantees.

On LLR Mismatch in Belief Propagation Decoding of Overcomplete QLDPC Codes

This paper investigates how mismatched log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) impact belief propagation decoding of overcomplete quantum LDPC codes, revealing that while performance is sensitive to initialization in low noise, the optimal FER is robust across a wide range of LLR values, suggesting that LLR mismatch can be effectively utilized as a regularization control parameter rather than a quantity requiring precise channel matching.
