We present an independent replication of TurboQuant (Zandieh and Mirrokni, ICLR 2026), a two-stage KV cache quantization method for large language model inference combining Lloyd-Max optimal scalar quantization with random orthogonal rotation and 1-bit Quantized Johnson-Lindenstrauss residual correction. We implement the full algorithm from scratch in PyTorch and integrate it into the Llama-3.

Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulation remains the workhorse for computational electromagnetics, but its computational cost limits its use in real-time applications such as iterative antenna design, electromagnetic compatibility analysis, and photonic device optimization. We present a Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) based surrogate model for predicting steady-state 2D TM-mode electromagnetic field distributions directly from material permittivity maps and source configurations.
