I’ve been thinking about a class of optimization problems on a quantum computer and wish to explore them with machine learning algorithms, especially reinforcement learning, as it does not require a good initial guess (radom, intuition or whatever). More recently, I came across to the paper “Global optimization of quantum dynamics with AlphaZero deep exploration”, which has been published online about 2 weeks ago. While the authors considered a rather ideal situation, their work did shed lights on my research. So, I prepare this note to briefly discuss their work and some relevant topics.

Today is a special day called “palindromic day”, as you may have seen in the news. A palindromic day is a day, whose date, when written in certain forms, is a palindromic number.

Updated on 04/16/2023: This post is outdated and this blog no longer used Jekyll and AMP.

I built this Blog with Jekyll, GitHub Pages and AMP (see links at footer). The basic framework is based upon template hanuman, yet significant modifications are made. In this note, I share the basics of using these tools to build and customize your own website. This note is very friendly for starters.

书名：随机漫步的傻瓜 (Fooled by Randomness)

评分：3.5/5.0

推荐：整体比较一般，不是很推荐。书荒时可以一读。

最近加入了一个新的gym buddy M君，而且M君是我第一个女性的gym buddy。我之前对女生如何训练了解的并不多。不过男女之间的训练虽然有不同，但总体思路还是相似的。所以我根据已有的经验，调研了一下网上一些网友分享的经历。整理了这一份note，详细讲解了女生如何入门健身。因为M君主要想“练”出翘臀和马甲线，所以我也会从这两点开始切入，然后再讲其他部位的训练。

运动与健身本身也是一门科学。想要安全健身，快速进步，相关的理论知识也是必不可少的。

跟我一样的健身小白，在脱离大腿（大神/教练）之后，一个非常伤脑筋的事情就是如何安排自己的健身计划。一个比较方便的途径是在网上搜索一些大神们的计划，照葫芦画瓢。而事实上，没有一个健身计划是通用的，适合所有人的。

最近发现了一个非常有意思的比赛叫做Agar Art Contest。大概意思就是说在培养皿中生长微生物来“作画”。其中有一些作品非常美（我直接画都画不出- -），尤其是18年的第一名，如下图：

In one of my recent paper entitled Topological phases in spin-1 Fermi gases with two-dimensional spin-orbit coupling, we study the topological phases of Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupled three-component Fermi gases. In fact, I also investigated the stability of the band crossings under repulsive $SU(3)$-invariant interactions, which is not included in the paper. In the following, I share my note on this matter.

This is my term paper for PHYS $5313.001$ - Statistical Physics - S$17$.
