Since the work of Ferrenberg et al.[PRL 69, (1992)] some pseudo random number generators are known to yield wrong results in cluster Monte Carlo simulations. In this contribution the fundamental mechanism behind this failure is discussed.…

Over the last decade, an approach that has gained a lot of popularity to tackle nonparametric testing problems on general (i.e., non-Euclidean) domains is based on the notion of reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) embedding of…

Pulsars exhibit signals with precise inter-arrival times that are on the order of milliseconds to seconds, depending on the individual pulsar. There are subtle variations in the timing of pulsar signals. We show that these variations can…

A set of quantum error correcting codes based on classical Reed-Muller codes is described. The codes have parameters [[n,k,d]] = [[2^r, 2^r - C(r,t) - 2 sum_{i=0}^{t-1} C(r,i), 2^t + 2^{t-1} ]].

Delay differential equations (DDE) can have "chaotic" solutions that can be used to mimic Brownian motion. Since a Brownian motion is random in its velocity, it is reasonable to think that a random number generator (RNG) might be…
