Measurement incompatibility stipulates the existence of quantum measurements that cannot be carried out simultaneously on single systems. We show that the set of input-output probabilities obtained from d-dimensional classical systems…
We introduce and study isomorphic distances between ordinal elections (with the same numbers of candidates and voters). The main feature of these distances is that they are invariant to renaming the candidates and voters, and two elections…
The star discrepancy $D_N^*(\mathcal{P})$ is a quantitative measure for the irregularity of distribution of a finite point set $\mathcal{P}$ in the multi-dimensional unit cube which is intimately related to the integration error of…
We study the problem of distinguishing between two distributions on a metric space; i.e., given metric measure spaces $({\mathbb X}, d, \mu_1)$ and $({\mathbb X}, d, \mu_2)$, we are interested in the problem of determining from finite data…
A new entropy-like measure as well as a new measure of total uncertainty pertaining to the Dempster-Shafer theory are introduced. It is argued that these measures are better justified than any of the previously proposed candidates.
We investigate the tradeoff between the quality of an approximate version of a given measurement and the disturbance it induces in the measured quantum system. We prove that if the target measurement is a non-degenerate von Neumann…
Let K be a self-similar or self-affine set in R^d, let \mu be a self-similar or self-affine measure on it, and let G be the group of affine maps, similitudes, isometries or translations of R^d. Under various assumptions (such as separation…
For an m by n real matrix A, we investigate the set of badly approximable targets for A as a subset of the m-torus. It is well known that this set is large in the sense that it is dense and has full Hausdorff dimension. We investigate the…
With a new proof approach we prove in a more general setting the classical convergence theorem that almost everywhere convergence of measurable functions on a finite measure space implies convergence in measure. Specifically, we generalize…
We prove a result about partitioning an absolute continuous measure in $\mathbb R^d$ into 2d equal parts by a system of cones with common vertex, where $d$ is an odd prime power. The proof is topological and based on the calculation of the…
In the last years the direct measurement of cosmic rays received a push forward by the possibility of conducting experiments on board long duration balloon flights, satellites and on the International Space Station. The increase in the…
We report an improved precision measurement of the Casimir force. The force is measured between a large Al coated sphere and flat plate using an Atomic Force Microscope. The primary experimental improvements include the use of smoother…
We investigate the measurement incompatibility of continuous-variable systems with infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces under the influence of pure losses, a fundamental noise source in quantum optics, and a significant challenge for…
Let $\mu$ be a Gaussian measure on some measurable space $\{W=\{w\},{\mathcal{B}}(W)\}$ and let $\nu$ be a measure on the same space which is absolutely continuous with respect to $\nu$. The paper surveys results on the problem of…
The goal of this paper is to investigate the tools of extreme value theory originally introduced for discrete time stationary stochastic processes (time series), namely the tail process and the tail measure, in the framework of continuous…
The envelope theory is an easy-to-use approximation method to obtain eigensolutions for some quantum many-body systems, in particular in the domain of hadronic physics. Even if the solutions are reliable and an improvement procedure exists,…
We study the difficulties associated with the evaluation of the total Bondi momentum at finite distances around the central source of a general (asymptotically flat) spacetime. Since the total momentum is only rigorously defined at future…
The main goal of quantum metrology is to obtain accurate values of physical parameters using quantum probes. In this context, we show that abstention, i.e., the possibility of getting an inconclusive answer at readout, can drastically…
We show that if points of supports of two discrete "not very thick" Fourier transformable measures on LCA groups tend to one another at infinity and the same is true for the masses at these points, then these measures coincide. The result…
We present cut and project formalism based on measures and continuous weight functions of sufficiently fast decay. The emerging measures are strongly almost periodic. The corresponding dynamical systems are compact groups and homomorphic…
