Signal propagation in an optical fiber can be described by the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLSE). The NLSE has no known closed-form solution, mostly due to the interaction of dispersion and nonlinearities. In this paper, we present a…

Pixelated Photon Detectors (PPDs) are the most promising semiconductor photodetectors in recent years. One of the issues with the PPD is its high noise rate. As well as random noise, PPD also exhibits so called after-pulsing and optical…

We consider the problem of releasing a sparse histogram under $(\varepsilon, \delta)$-differential privacy. The stability histogram independently adds noise from a Laplace or Gaussian distribution to the non-zero entries and removes those…
