We present marginal cumulative distribution functions (CDF) for density matrices $\rho$ of fixed purity $\tfrac{1}{N}\le\mu_N(\rho)=\textrm{Tr}[\rho^2]\le 1$ for arbitrary dimension $N$. We give closed form analytic formulas for the cases…

This article describes two Monte Carlo methods for calculating confidence intervals on cumulative density function (CDF) based multivariate normal quantiles that allows for controlling the tail regions of a multivariate distribution where…

We characterize the power of constant-depth Boolean circuits in generating uniform symmetric distributions. Let $f\colon\{0,1\}^m\to\{0,1\}^n$ be a Boolean function where each output bit of $f$ depends only on $O(1)$ input bits. Assume the…
