Fast algorithms for computing the Boltzmann collision operator
The development of accurate and fast numerical schemes for the five fold Boltzmann collision integral represents a challenging problem in scientific computing. For a particular class of interactions, including the so-called hard spheres model in dimension three, we are able to derive spectral methods that can be evalua...

Degrees of Freedom Region for the MIMO X Channel
We provide achievability as well as converse results for the degrees of freedom region of a MIMO $X$ channel, i.e., a system with two transmitters, two receivers, each equipped with multiple antennas, where independent messages need to be conveyed over fixed channels from each transmitter to each receiver. With M=1 ant...

Phenomenology of amplitude-corrected post-Newtonian gravitational waveforms for compact binary inspiral. I. Signal-to-noise ratios
We study the phenomenological consequences of amplitude-corrected post-Newtonian (PN) gravitational waveforms, as opposed to the more commonly used restricted PN waveforms, for the quasi-circular, adiabatic inspiral of compact binary objects. In the case of initial detectors it has been shown that the use of amplitude-...

The Chernoff lower bound for symmetric quantum hypothesis testing
We consider symmetric hypothesis testing in quantum statistics, where the hypotheses are density operators on a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert space, representing states of a finite quantum system. We prove a lower bound on the asymptotic rate exponents of Bayesian error probabilities. The bound represents a quantu...

Semiparametric estimation of a two-component mixture model
Suppose that univariate data are drawn from a mixture of two distributions that are equal up to a shift parameter. Such a model is known to be nonidentifiable from a nonparametric viewpoint. However, if we assume that the unknown mixed distribution is symmetric, we obtain the identifiability of this model, which is the...

Quantum Error Correcting Subsystems are Unitarily Recoverable Subsystems
We show that every correctable subsystem for an arbitrary noise operation can be recovered by a unitary operation, where the notion of recovery is more relaxed than the notion of correction insofar as it does not protect the subsystem from subsequent iterations of the noise. We also demonstrate that in the case of unit...

Time Optimal Unitary Operations
Extending our previous work on time optimal quantum state evolution, we formulate a variational principle for the time optimal unitary operation, which has direct relevance to quantum computation. We demonstrate our method with three examples, i.e. the swap of qubits, the quantum Fourier transform and the entangler gat...

Recovery algorithms for vector valued data with joint sparsity constraints
Vector valued data appearing in concrete applications often possess sparse expansions with respect to a preassigned frame for each vector component individually. Additionally, different components may also exhibit common sparsity patterns. Recently, there were introduced sparsity measures that take into account such jo...

Secret quantum communication of a reference frame
We propose quantum cryptographic protocols to secretly communicate a reference frame- unspeakable information in the sense it cannot be encoded into a string of bits. Two distant parties can secretly align their Cartesian axes by exchanging N spin 1/2 particles, achieving the optimal accuracy 1/N. A possible eavesdropp...

Classical simulation versus universality in measurement based quantum computation
We investigate for which resource states an efficient classical simulation of measurement based quantum computation is possible. We show that the Schmidt--rank width, a measure recently introduced to assess universality of resource states, plays a crucial role in also this context. We relate Schmidt--rank width to the ...

These metallicities, together with the Teff values and the absolute V magnitude derived from Hipparcos parallaxes, are used to estimate basic stellar parameters (ages, masses, radii, (B-V)o and l...

We use a series of cosmological N-body simulations for a flat LCDM cosmology to investigate the properties of dark matter haloes in the mass range 3.0e9-3.0e13 Msun. These properties include the concentration parameter (c), the spin parameter (lambda) and the mean axis ratio (q). For the concentration-mass relation we ...

As in previous papers in this series, we take advantage of photometry in the M, T_2, and DDO51 filter system to select LeoI red giant branch star candidat...

Network Coding in a Multicast Switch
We consider the problem of serving multicast flows in a crossbar switch. We show that linear network coding across packets of a flow can sustain traffic patterns that cannot be served if network coding were not allowed. Thus, network coding leads to a larger rate region in a multicast crossbar switch. We demonstrate a ...

Persistency is the property, for differential equations in $\R^n$, that solutions starting in the positive orthant do not approach the boundary. For chemical reactions and population models, this translates into the non-extinction property: provided that every species is present at the start of the reaction, no species...

Reliable and unreliable dynamics in driven coupled oscillators

Reliability means that (following a transient) an input elicits identical responses upon repeated presentations, regardless of the system's initial condition. Here, we analyze this property for two coupled oscillators...
