Firstly, to tackle the particle degeneracy problem in the PF, an iterated importance density function(IIDF) was proposed, where a new term associating with the current measurement information(CMI) was introduced into the expression of the sampled particles. Through the repeated use of the least squares estimate, the CMI can be integrated into the sampling stage in an iterative manner, conducing to the greatly improved sampling quality. By running the IIDF, an iterated PF(IPF) can be obtained. Subsequently, a parallel resampling(PR) was proposed for the purpose of parallel implementation of IPF, whose main idea was the same as systematic resampling(SR) but performed differently. The PR directly used the integral part of the product of the particle weight and particle number as the number of times that a particle was replicated, and it simultaneously eliminated the particles with the smallest weights, which are the two key differences from the SR. The detailed implementation procedures on the graphics processing unit of IPF based on the PR were presented at last. The performance of the IPF, PR and their parallel implementations are illustrated via one-dimensional numerical simulation and practical application of passive radar target tracking.展开更多

This most fundamental question in quantum mechanics has not yet been satisfactorily resolved, although its realistic interpretation seems to have been rejected by various delayedchoice experiments. Here, to address this long-standing issue, we present a quantum twisted double-slit experiment. By exploiting the subluminal feature of twisted photons, the real nature of a photon during its time in flight is revealed for the first time. We found that photons' arrival times were inconsistent with the states obtained in measurements but agreed with the states during propagation. Our results demonstrate that wavefunctions describe the realistic existence and evolution of quantum entities rather than a pure mathematical abstraction providing a probability list of measurement outcomes. This finding clarifies the long-held misunderstanding of the role of wavefunctions and their collapse in the evolution of quantum entities.展开更多
