Dual-system VLA (Vision-Language-Action) architectures have become a hot topic in embodied intelligence research, but there is a lack of sufficient open-source work for further performance analysis and optimization. To address this problem, this paper will summarize and compare the structural designs of existing dual-system architectures, and conduct systematic empirical evaluations on the core design elements of existing dual-system architectures. Ultimately, it will provide a low-cost open-source model for further exploration. Of course, this project will continue to update with more experimental conclusions and open-source models with improved performance for everyone to choose from.

Optimization landscapes of variational quantum algorithms
For multi-term VQA objectives (M>1), false traps can emerge from loss of spectral-order compatibility among terms, even with parameter-sufficient ansatze, unlike the trap-free M=1 case under standard assumptions.
