Quantum Measure Theory (QMT) is an approach to quantum mechanics, based on the path integral, in which quantum theory is conceived of as a generalised stochastic process. One of the postulates of QMT is that events with zero quantum measure…

In this paper, we first consider a family of constraints given by straight lines. For a uniform probability distribution, we determine the constrained optimal sets of $n$-points and the corresponding $n$th constrained quantization errors…

We consider condensation measures of the form $P:=\frac 13 P\circ S_1^{-1}+ \frac 13 P\circ S_2^{-1}+ \frac 13 \nu $ associated with the system $(\mathcal{S}, (\frac 13, \frac 13, \frac 13), \nu) , $ where $\mathcal{S}=\{S_i\}_{i=1}^2 $ are…

We propose a novel approach to quantify quantum coherence which, contrary to the previous ones, does not rely on resource theory but rather on ontological considerations. In this framework, coherence is understood as the ability for a…

In this paper, we address the probabilistic error quantification of a general class of prediction methods. We consider a given prediction model and show how to obtain, through a sample-based approach, a probabilistic upper bound on the…

A method to compute the optimal success probability of discrimination of N arbitrary quantum states is presented, based on the decomposition of any N-outcome measurement into sequences of nested two-outcome ones. In this way the…

Probabilistic metrology attempts to improve parameter estimation by occasionally reporting an excellent estimate and the rest of the time either guessing or doing nothing at all. Here we show that probabilistic metrology can never improve…

A Poisson Binomial distribution over $n$ variables is the distribution of the sum of $n$ independent Bernoullis. We provide a sample near-optimal algorithm for testing whether a distribution $P$ supported on $\{0,...,n\}$ to which we have…
