We present an extension to the robust phase estimation protocol, which can identify incorrect results that would otherwise lie outside the expected statistical range. Robust phase estimation is increasingly a method of choice for…

The use of emergent constraints to quantify uncertainty for key policy relevant quantities such as Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) has become increasingly widespread in recent years. Many researchers, however, claim that emergent…

Distributed control increases system scalability, flexibility, and redundancy. Foundational to such decentralisation is consensus formation, by which decision-making and coordination are achieved. However, decentralised multi-agent systems…

An arbitrarily reliable quantum computer can be efficiently constructed from noisy components using a recursive simulation procedure, provided that those components fail with probability less than the fault-tolerance threshold. Recent…

Abrupt shifts in ecosystems, brains, markets, and climate are often diagnosed as signs of approaching a tipping point, i.e. a critical bifurcation where stability is lost. Here we reveal a broader and more deceptive mechanism:…

Sequential generative models conditioned on uncertain rewards are central to AI-driven scientific discovery, yet the epistemic uncertainty they inherit from imperfect reward estimates remains unquantified. We propagate this uncertainty…

This paper is a brief and informal presentation of cirquent calculus, a novel proof system for resource-conscious logics. As such, it is a refinement of sequent calculus with mechanisms that allow to explicitly account for the possibility…

This work interprets and generalizes consensus-type algorithms as switching dynamics leading to symmetrization of some vector variables with respect to the actions of a finite group. We show how the symmetrization framework we develop…

We study the properties of output distributions of noisy, random circuits. We obtain upper and lower bounds on the expected distance of the output distribution from the "useless" uniform distribution. These bounds are tight with respect to…

Uncertainty quantification complements model predictions by characterizing their reliability, which is essential for high-stakes decision making such as medical image segmentation. However, most existing methods reduce uncertainty to a…
