We show that a von Neumann measurement on a part of a composite quantum system unavoidably creates distillable entanglement between the measurement apparatus and the system if the state has nonzero quantum discord. The minimal distillable…

In this paper, we prove functional limit theorems for P\'olya urn processes whose number of draws and initial number of balls tend to infinity together. This is motivated by recent work of Borovkov [5], where they prove a functional limit…

We prove the Courtade-Kumar conjecture, for certain classes of $n$-dimensional Boolean functions, $\forall n\geq 2$ and for all values of the error probability of the binary symmetric channel, $\forall 0 \leq p \leq \frac{1}{2}$. Let…

Questions of noise stability play an important role in hardness of approximation in computer science as well as in the theory of voting. In many applications, the goal is to find an optimizer of noise stability among all possible partitions…

The majority-vote model with noise on random graphs has been studied. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to characterize the order-disorder phase transition appearing in the system. We found that the value of the critical noise…

The response of thermodynamic systems perturbed out of an equilibrium steady-state is described by the reciprocal and the fluctuation-dissipation relations. The so-called fluctuation theorems extended the study of fluctuations far beyond…

The dissipation--coherence bound is a conjectured tradeoff between entropy production and the quality of stochastic oscillations. We show that this tradeoff follows from the higher-order thermodynamic uncertainty relation together with a…

In \cite{js2006}, Jonasson and Steif conjectured that no non-degenerate sequence of transitive Boolean functions $ (f_n)_{n \geq 1}$ with $ \lim_{n \to \infty} I(f_n)= \infty $ could be tame (with respect to some $ (p_n)_{n \geq 1} $). In a…
