Semiquantitative group testing (SQGT) is a pooling method in which the test outcomes represent bounded intervals for the number of defectives. Alternatively, it may be viewed as an adder channel with quantized outputs. SQGT represents a…

In the standard Gaussian linear measurement model $Y=X\mu_0+\xi \in \mathbb{R}^m$ with a fixed noise level $\sigma>0$, we consider the problem of estimating the unknown signal $\mu_0$ under a convex constraint $\mu_0 \in K$, where $K$ is a…

Group testing is a technique which avoids individually testing $n$ samples for a rare disease and instead tests $n < p$ pools, where a pool consists of a mixture of small, equal portions of a subset of the $p$ samples. Group testing saves…

Quantum computers are inherently affected by noise. While in the long-term error correction codes will account for noise at the cost of increasing physical qubits, in the near-term the performance of any quantum algorithm should be tested…

Tomographic reconstruction, despite its revolutionary impact on a wide range of applications, suffers from its ill-posed nature in that there is no unique solution because of limited and noisy measurements. Therefore, in the absence of…
