A stochastic variational inequality is proposed to model an elasto-plastic oscillator excited by a filtered white noise. We prove the ergodic properties of the process and characterize the corresponding invariant measure. This extends…

In an idealistic setting, quantum metrology protocols allow to sense physical parameters with mean squared error that scales as $1/N^2$ with the number of particles involved---substantially surpassing the $1/N$-scaling characteristic to…
