Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...

Have you ever done something nice for someone else "just because"? It wasn’t to repay them or because you had to—it was simply because you wanted to. Well, then, you’ve done a random act of kindness!

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Aiming at suppressing the switching frequen- cy harmonics, a novel discrete hybrid dual random control (DHDRC) technique is proposed in this article. Based on the space vector pulsewidth ...
