We propose the Parity Flow formalism, a method for tracking the information flow in quantum circuits. This method adds labels to quantum circuit diagrams such that the action of Clifford gates can be understood as a recoding of quantum…

One-way quantum computing allows any quantum algorithm to be implemented easily using just measurements. The difficult part is creating the universal resource, a cluster state, on which the measurements are made. We propose a radically new…

The majority of available numerical algorithms for interfacial two-phase flows either treat both fluid phases as incompressible (constant density) or treat both phases as compressible (variable density). This presents a limitation for the…

We give an $O(n^{1.5}\log n)$ time algorithm for finding the maximum flow in a directed planar graph with multiple sources and a single sink. The techniques generalize to a subquadratic time algorithm for bounded genus graphs.

A path system in a graph $G$ is a collection of paths, with exactly one path between any two vertices in $G$. A path system is said to be consistent if it is intersection-closed. We show that the number of consistent path systems on $n$…

The dual of a planar graph $G$ is a planar graph $G^*$ that has a vertex for each face of $G$ and an edge for each pair of adjacent faces of $G$. The profound relationship between a planar graph and its dual has been the algorithmic basis…
