We examine scenarios involving classical matter confined by gravity and extend our analysis to the quantum domain, through a Schrödinger–Newton approach.

However, the interactions among nodes for the heterogeneous graphs in the real world often extend beyond individual pairs, excessive attention is payed on isolated pairwise connections. In this paper, we propose a novel framework of Heterogeneous Hypergraph Representation Learning method (HHRL) to capture high-order interactions for learning effective node representations of heterogeneous graphs. The method firstly organizes the heterogeneous connections as different hypergraphs. By modeling the heterogeneous connections, HHRL captures the rich structural and semantic information present in the graphs. Then, the graph neural network (GNN) is applied for each hypergraph to capture the interdependencies between nodes and their associated features. By utilizing GNN, HHRL can effectively learn expressive node representations that encode both the structural and feature information of the network. Finally, we concatenate the vectors from different hypergraphs to obtain the link representations.
