Power domination is a graph theoretic model which captures how phasor measurement units (PMUs) can be used to monitor a power grid. Fragile power domination takes into account the fact that PMUs may break or otherwise fail. In this model,…

Unlike regular time evolution governed by the Schr\"odinger equation, standard quantum measurement appears to violate time-reversal symmetry. Measurement creates random disturbances (e.g., collapse) that prevents back-tracing the quantum…
