Hybrid quantum error correction technique integrates continuous and discrete variables by National Research Council of Science and Technology Editors' notes ...

Quantum annealing (QA) can be competitive to classical algorithms in optimizing continuous-variable functions when running on appropriate hardware, show researchers from Tokyo Tech. By comparing the ...

Roll a die and ask students to identify the random variable. Since a die can only take on values of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, this is a discrete random variable. Repeat ...

Fig 1. (Top) Generative model of Neural Continuous-Discrete State Space Model. (Bottom) Amortized inference for auxiliary variables and continuous-discrete Bayesian inference for states. This ...

Abstract: An information-theoretic proof of a strengthened version of the classical discrete central limit theorem is presented. Using only information-theoretic and elementary arguments, convergence ...

Continuous-variable quantum key distribution offers simple, stable and easy-to-implement key distribution systems. The discrete modulation scheme further reduces the technical difficulty. The main ...
