A little while back, we took a look at a large cargo bike from Urban Arrow that had some interesting features: a drive train that sported continuous variable gearing and a belt drive. But it was ...

CVsim.jl is a Julia package for simulating continuous variable quantum systems, with a focus on studying quantum information processing using bosonic codes such as Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP), Cat ...

Abstract: We introduce the domain of continuous random variables (CRV) over a domain, as an alternative to Jones and Plotkin's probabilistic power domain. While no known Cartesian-closed category is ...

What Is A Probability Density Function? A probability density function, also known as a bell curve, is a fundamental statistics concept, that describes the likelihood of a continuous random variable ...

Abstract: We establish the first known upper bound on the exact and Wyner's common information of n continuous random variables in terms of the dual total correlation between them (which is a ...

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 ...
