In this letter, we investigate the formation control problem of mobile robots moving in the plane where, instead of assuming robots to be simple points, each robot is assumed to have the form of a disk with equal radius. Based on interior…
Amphiphilic molecules spontaneously form self-assembly structures based on physical conditions such as molecular structure, concentration, and temperature. These structures exhibit various useful functions according to their morphology. The…
This research concerns a type of configuration optimization problems frequently encountered in engineering design and manufacturing, where the envelope volume in space occupied by a number of components needs to be minimized along with…
The structural properties of additive binary hard-sphere mixtures are addressed as a follow-up of a previous paper [S. Pieprzyk et al., Phys. Rev. E 101, 012117 (2020)]. The so-called rational-function approximation method and an approach…
We present a novel formulation of structural design optimization problems specifically tailored to be solved by quantum annealing (QA). Structural design optimization aims to find the best, i.e., material-efficient yet high-performance,…

We present a robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the worst-case criterion and the constrained constant modulus approach, which exploits the constant modulus property of the desired signal. Similarly to the existing worst-case…
Combinatorics, like computer science, often has to deal with large objects of unspecified (or unusable) structure. One powerful way to deal with such an arbitrary object is to decompose it into more usable components. In particular, it has…
The simplest prescription for building a patterned structure from its constituents is to add particles, one at a time, to an appropriate template. However, self-organizing molecular and colloidal systems in nature can evolve in much more…
We have developed a reduced-cost non-Dyson third-order algebraic diagrammatic construction theory for the electron-attachment problem based on state-specific frozen natural orbitals. Density fitting and truncated natural auxiliary functions…
The buildings and construction sector is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, with cement production alone contributing 7~\% of global emissions and the industry as a whole accounting for approximately 37~\%. Reducing emissions…
This work proposes a hybrid framework combining classical computers with quantum annealers for structural optimisation. At each optimisation iteration of an iterative process, two minimisation problems are formulated one for the underlying…
Arbitrary Pattern Formation (APF) is a fundamental coordination problem in swarm robotics. It requires a set of autonomous robots (mobile computing units) to form an arbitrary pattern (given as input) starting from any initial pattern. This…
The curse of dimensionality (COD) limits the current state-of-the-art {\it ab initio} propagation methods for non-relativistic quantum mechanics to relatively few particles. For stationary structure calculations, the coupled-cluster (CC)…
