A Random Access query to a string $T\in [0..\sigma)^n$ asks for the character $T[i]$ at a given position $i\in [0..n)$. In $O(n\log\sigma)$ bits of space, this fundamental task admits constant-time queries. While this is optimal in the…

We analyze opportunistic schemes for transmission scheduling from one of $n$ homogeneous queues whose channel states fluctuate independently. Considered schemes consist of the LCQ policy, which transmits from a longest connected queue in…
It has recently been shown that starting with a classical query algorithm (decision tree) and a guessing algorithm that tries to predict the query answers, we can design a quantum algorithm with query complexity $O(\sqrt{GT})$ where $T$ is…
We provide numerical evidence that the quantum Fourier transform can be efficiently represented in a matrix product operator with a size growing relatively slowly with the number of qubits. Additionally, we numerically show that the tensors…
Consider the following random process: we are given $n$ queues, into which elements of increasing labels are inserted uniformly at random. To remove an element, we pick two queues at random, and remove the element of lower label (higher…
This paper studies the Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) with gated-limited service. The transmission window (TW) is limited in this system to guaranteeing a bounded delay experienced by disciplined users, and to constrain malicious…
We consider the problem of scheduling on a single processor a given set of n jobs. Each job j has a workload w_j and a release time r_j. The processor can vary its speed and hibernate to reduce energy consumption. In a schedule minimizing…
In the today's Internet and TCP/IP-networks, the queueing of packets is commonly implemented using the protocol FIFO (First In First Out). Unfortunately, FIFO performs poorly in the Adversarial Queueing Theory. Other queueing strategies are…

Typical circuit implementations of Shor's algorithm involve controlled rotation gates of magnitude $\pi/2^{2L}$ where $L$ is the binary length of the integer N to be factored. Such gates cannot be implemented exactly using existing…
In this paper, an stochastic queue core problem on a tree, which seeks to find a core in an M/G/1 operating environment is investigated. Let T = (V,E) be a tree, an stochastic queue core of T is assumed to be a path P, for which the…
We give a technique to reduce the error probability of quantum algorithms that determine whether its input has a specified property of interest. The standard process of reducing this error is statistical processing of the results of…
We consider the stochastic scheduling problem of minimizing the expected makespan on $m$ parallel identical machines. While the (adaptive) list scheduling policy achieves an approximation ratio of $2$, any (non-adaptive) fixed assignment…

In this paper, we consider an energy-efficient scheduling problem where $n$ jobs $J_1, J_2, ..., J_n$ need to be executed such that the total energy usage of these jobs is minimized while ensuring that each job is finished within it's…
The problem of determining which permutations can be sorted using certain switchyard networks dates back to Knuth in 1968. In this work, we are interested in permutations which are sortable on a double-ended queue (called a deque), or on…
