Quantum Matter, Super-conductors, and Black Holes | Subir Sachdev on the SYK Model
What makes high-temperature superconductors and “strange metals” some of the most perplexing systems in modern physics?In this episode, we speak with Dr. Subir Sachdev: Harvard physicist and one of the leading architects of today’s understanding of quantum matter. Sachdev explains why strange metals refuse to behave like ordinary conductors, how quantum entanglement reshapes the landscape of many-body physics, and why the quest to understand cuprate superconductors continues to push both theory and experiment to their limits.We explore the physics of the cuprate phase diagram, the collapse of quasiparticles, and the role of quantu...

Z06: 版权困境、审美收束,一锅炖的AI音乐是什么?【专访领域专家逸霄、音乐人味素】
近日B站发布2025年度音乐报告中AI生成的音乐《美猴亡》赫然在列,与其同时AI爵士版《大东北我的家乡》的歌手音色与袁娅维高度相像,袁娅维本人随后直接翻唱了这首歌曲。不知不觉AI音乐已经进入了我们的生活。但它背后的技术是什么,对音乐人和非音乐人产生了什么影响。这期我们和音乐生成领域的专家与音乐人一同聊聊AI音乐到底是怎么回事。一、节目开场与嘉宾介绍 • 回顾往期技术类节目(推荐算法、大语言模型、AI绘画) • 本期主题:AI 音乐生成 • 嘉宾背景 • 逸霄(@沉睡的松果 ):英国伦敦玛丽女王大学C4DM组AI 音乐方向博士,长期从事音乐生成研究(发言代表个人立场) • @味素_ :复旦大学临床医学出身,职业配乐经历,东京大学情报理工修士在读,研究语音与 TTS二、什么是 AI 音乐生成 • 当前主流定义:以 Suno 为代表的「基于音频的文本到音乐生成」 • 与早期工作的区别(曾以符号音乐e.g. 乐谱、MIDI为主,近年转向端到端直接生成音频) • 为什么跳过乐谱(音频建模技术成熟、可直接对人类听觉结果负责)三、技术发展脉络 • 2020:OpenAI Jukebox,首次展示大规模音频音乐生成 • 2023:Google MusicLM,Meta MusicGen,奠定主流范式 • 核心思想:Scaling 理论 • 数据量与模型规模决定上限(“涌现”:模型规模跨越阈值后出现非预期能力)四、音乐生成的技术范式 • 音乐作为音频信号 • 频谱图 Spectrogram • Mel Scale 对齐人类听觉 • 与语音、图像模型的关系(方法可迁移) • 音乐被当作一种特殊音频处理 • 乐理的地位变化(不再是核心先验、少量用于输入输出空间对齐)五、文本控制与音乐标签 • Prompt 并非自然语言本身(量结构化 Tag 组成:BPM、调性、风格、情绪、乐器等) • 标签来源:Metadata、歌词、自动分析模型 • 数据标注的问题(风格过粗、小众流派数据不足)六、数据、版权与伦理争议 • 音乐训练数据的灰色地带 • 三大唱片公司与 AI 公司的博弈(起诉、授权) • 独立音乐人的困境(难以选择退出、追溯使用) • 模型记忆化问题(可诱导生成高度相似原曲、商用授权与侵权风险并存)七、AI 音乐对行业的影响 • Spotify 新歌中 AI 音乐占比显著 • 大多数人无法区分 AI 与人类音乐 • 工作室批量生产(低成本、高效率) • AI 歌上Billboard榜与AI Remix 反向带火原曲八、音乐人视角 • AI 擅长领域(商业流行、强记忆点旋律) • AI 局限(不擅长小众风格、复杂音色设计、精细控制) • 最大鸿沟(端到端模型缺乏可编辑性)九、AI 音乐的现实使用方式 • 抽卡式生成、多次生成筛选 • 工业流程中的位置(参考曲生成对齐需求) • 功能性音乐 vs 表达型音乐(BGM、广告、短视频和自己的歌) • 艺术创作仍依赖人类十、结尾 • AI 音乐不会彻底取代音乐人 • 更可能重塑流程与分工 • 数据与版权问题尚无完美解法 • AI 更适合工业效率 • 音乐人仍掌握表达与审美主导权————————————————片头曲:《温故知新でいこっ!》感谢大家支持《老二次元Re》!我们会继续加油哒♪(^∇^*)直播间装修:煤油狸猫
