Given a discrete-state continuous-time reactive system, like a digital circuit, the classical approach is to first model it as a state transition system and then prove its properties. Our contribution advocates a different approach: to…

We describe a new, surprisingly simple algorithm, that simulates exact sample paths of a class of stochastic differential equations. It involves rejection sampling and, when applicable, returns the location of the path at a random…

By revisiting the path-integral formulation of the Hubbard model, we propose a theoretical approach based on a semiclassical approximation employing an unconventional coherent-state representation. Within this framework, a subset of the…
Lattice paths effectively model phenomena in chemistry, physics and probability theory. Asymptotic enumeration of lattice paths is linked with entropy in the physical systems being modeled. Lattice paths restricted to different regions of…
We present an open-loop unitary strategy to control the coherence in a pure dephasing model (related to the phase-flip channel) that is able to recover, for whatever prescribed time span, the initial coherence at the end of the control…
