Postselected weak measurement has shown significant potential for detecting small physical effects due to its unique weak-value-amplification phenomenon. Previous works suggest that Heisenberg-limit precision can be attained using only the…

The Jensen-Shannon divergence is a renown bounded symmetrization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence which does not require probability densities to have matching supports. In this paper, we introduce a vector-skew generalization of the…

Uncertain input of a mathematical model induces uncertainties in the output and probabilistic sensitivity analysis identifies the influential inputs to guide decision-making. Of practical concern is the probability that the output would, or…

The physical origin of spacetime discreteness remains a central open problem in quantum gravity, with most existing approaches relying on specific microscopic structures or model-dependent assumptions. In this letter, spacetime discreteness…

We show a general relation between the spatially disjoint product of probability density functions and the sum of their Fisher information metric tensors. We then utilise this result to give a method for constructing the probability density…

We show that the mathematical form of the information measure of Fisher's I for a Gibbs' canonical probability distribution (the most important one in statistical mechanics) incorporates important features of the intrinsic structure of…

We explain why and how the Hilbert space comes about in quantum theory. The axiomatic structures of vector space, of scalar product, of orthogonality, and of the linear functional are derivable from the statistical description of quantum…

The contribution of this work is twofold. The first part deals with a Hilbert-space version of McCann's celebrated result on the existence and uniqueness of monotone measure-preserving maps: given two probability measures $\rm P$ and $\rm…

In this paper, first, we survey the concept of diffeological Fisher metric and its naturality, using functorial language of probability morphisms, and slightly extending L\^e's theory in \cite{Le2020} to include weakly $C^k$-diffeological…

Symmetry shares an entwined history with the structure of physical theory. We propose a consequence of symmetry towards the axiomatic derivation of Hilbert space quantum theory. We introduce the notion of information symmetry (IS) and show…

Motivated by classical harmonic analysis results characterizing H\"older spaces in terms of the decay of their wavelet coefficients, we consider wavelet methods for computing s-Wasserstein type distances. Previous work by Sheory (n\'e…

We establish a variant of the log-Sobolev and transport-information inequalities for mixture distributions. If a probability measure $\pi$ can be decomposed into components that individually satisfy such inequalities, then any measure $\mu$…
