We formulate an inseparability criterion based on the recently derived generalized Schr\"odinger-Robertson uncertainty relation (SRUR) [Ivan {\it et al.} J. Phys. A :Math. Theor. {\bf 45}, 195305 (2012)] together with the negativity of…

The mean-variance hedging (MVH) problem is studied in a partially observable market where the drift processes can only be inferred through the observation of asset or index processes. Although most of the literatures treat the MVH problem…

We investigate schemes for Hamiltonian parameter estimation of a two-level system using repeated measurements in a fixed basis. The simplest (Fourier based) schemes yield an estimate with a mean square error (MSE) that decreases at best as…

This paper introduces an innovative Bayesian machine learning algorithm to draw interpretable inference on heterogeneous causal effects in the presence of imperfect compliance (e.g., under an irregular assignment mechanism). We show,…
