Diffusing diffusivity models, polymers in the grand canonical ensemble and polydisperse, and continuous-time random walks all exhibit stages of non-Gaussian diffusion. Is non-Gaussian targeting more efficient than Gaussian? We address this…

Typical generative diffusion models rely on a Gaussian diffusion process for training the backward transformations, which can then be used to generate samples from Gaussian noise. However, real world data often takes place in discrete-state…
