We discuss a model-independent estimator of the likelihood of the compositeness of a shallow S-wave bound or virtual state. The approach is based on an extension of Weinberg's relations in Phys. Rev. 137, B672 (1965) and it relies only on…
Consider a system evolving according to an absorbing discrete-time Markov chain with known transition matrix. The state of the system is observed at two points in time, separated by an unknown number of generations. We are interested in…
We investigate robust linear consensus over networks under capacity-constrained communication. The capacity of each edge is encoded as an upper bound on the number of state variables that can be communicated instantaneously. When the edge…
In the problem of asymptotic binary i.i.d. state discrimination, the optimal asymptotics of the type I and the type II error probabilities is in general an exponential decrease to zero as a function of the number of samples; the set of…
We consider an $M/G/\infty$ queue with infinite expected service time. We then provide the transience/recurrence classification of the states (the system is said to be at state $n$ if there are $n$ customers being served), observing also…
In this paper by using geometric techniques, we provide upper bounds for the Poincar\'e recurrence time of a quantum mixed state with discrete spectrum of energies. In the case of discrete but finite spectrum we obtain two type of upper…
We present an analytical study of state transfer in a spin chain in the presence of an inhomogeneous set of exchange coefficients. We initially consider the homogeneous case and describe a method to obtain the energy spectrum of the system.…
The two-receiver broadcast packet erasure channel with feedback and memory is studied. Memory is modeled using a finite-state Markov chain representing a channel state. The channel state is unknown at the transmitter, but observations of…
The system of two scalar order parameters on a complex scale-free network is analyzed in the spirit of Landau theory. To add a microscopic background to the phenomenological approach we also study a particular spin Hamiltonian that leads to…
We consider the problem of discriminating between two quantum coherent states by interpreting a single state like being a collection of several successive copies of weaker coherent states. By means of recent results on multiple-copy state…
We present new concentration of measure inequalities for Markov chains, generalising results for chains that are contracting in Wasserstein distance. These are particularly suited to establishing the cut-off phenomenon for suitable chains.…
Many finite-state reversible Markov chains can be naturally decomposed into "projection" and "restriction" chains. In this paper we provide bounds on the total variation mixing times of the original chain in terms of the mixing properties…
Consideration is given to the three different analytical methods for the computation of upper bounds for the rate of convergence to the limiting regime of one specific class of (in)homogeneous continuous-time Markov chains. This class is…
We show that a set of linearly independent quantum states $\{(U_{m,n}\otimes I)\rho ^{AB}(U_{m,n}^{\dagger}\otimes I)\}_{m,n=0}^{d-1}$, where $U_{m,n}$ are generalized Pauli matrices, cannot be discriminated deterministically or…
We investigate the transportation cost-information inequalities for bifurcating Markov chains which are a class of processes indexed by binary tree. These processes provide models for cell growth when each individual in one generation gives…
The completeness of the group classification of systems of two linear second-order ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients is delineated in the paper. The new cases extend what has been done in the literature. These cases…
Given an infinitesimal perturbation of a discrete-time finite Markov chain, we seek the states that are stable despite the perturbation, \textit{i.e.} the states whose weights in the stationary distributions can be bounded away from $0$ as…
This paper proposes a new type of recurrence where we divide the Markov chains into intervals that start when the chain enters into a subset A, then sample another subset B far away from A and end when the chain again return to A. The…
We present a one-dimensional tight-binding chain of two-level systems coupled only through common dissipative Markovian reservoirs. This quantum chain can demonstrate anomalous thermodynamic behavior contradicting Fourier law. Population…
In this paper we consider a class of differential equations with state-dependent delays. We show first and second-order differentiability of the solution with respect to parameters in a pointwise sense and also using the C-norm on the…
