I describe the computation of energy widths of nuclear states using an integral over the interaction region of ab initio variational Monte Carlo wave functions, and I present calculated widths for many states. I begin by presenting…

Kamlah's second order method for approximate particle number projection is applied for the first time to variational calculations with effective forces. High spin states of normal and superdeformed nuclei have been calculated with the…

This paper considers the problem of recovering the delays and amplitudes of a weighted superposition of pulses. This problem is motivated by a variety of applications such as ultrasound and radar. We show that for univariate and bivariate…

We investigate the problem of shaping radially symmetric annular beams into desired intensity patterns along the optical axis. Within the Fresnel approximation, we show that this problem can be expressed in a variational form equivalent to…

A Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) atomic data file is needed to be generated for each element, and plays in the PAW method the role of the pseudopotential file for norm-conserving (NC) or ultra-soft (US) plane wave calculations. In this…

In the classical best approximation pair (BAP) problem, one is given two nonempty, closed, convex and disjoint subsets in a finite- or an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and the goal is to find a pair of points, each from each subset,…

As for other latent-variable problems, exact Bayesian analysis is typically not practicable for mixture problems and approximate methods have been developed. Variational Bayes tends to produce approximate posterior distributions for…

With the growing practical interest in vision-based tasks for autonomous systems, the need for efficient and complex methods becomes increasingly larger. In the rush to develop new methods with the aim to outperform the current state of the…

A version of the projection method for solving the scattering problem for acoustic and electromagnetic waves is proposed and shown to be more efficient numerically than the earlier ones because the corresponding matrix is not…

This paper is about line search for the generalized alternating projections (GAP) method. This method is a generalization of the von Neumann alternating projections method, where instead of performing alternating projections, relaxed…

Weak Equivalent Principle (WEP) can be tested through the parameterized post-Newtonian parameter $\gamma$, representing the space curvature produced by unit rest mass. The parameter $\gamma$ in turn has been constrained by comparing the…

In this report, we propose a novel quantum diagonalization algorithm based on the optimization of variational quantum circuits. Diagonalizing a quantum state is a fundamental yet computationally challenging task in quantum information…

Program behavior may depend on parameters, which are either configured before compilation time, or provided at run-time, e.g., by sensors or other input devices. Parametric program analysis explores how different parameter settings may…

The particle number projection method is formulated for density dependent forces and in particular for the finite range Gogny force. Detailed formula for the projected energy and its gradient are provided. The problems arising from the…

The implementation of weak-value amplification requires the pre- and post-selection of states of a quantum system, followed by the observation of the response of the meter, which interacts weakly with the system. Data acquisition from the…

A novel method for learning optimal, orthonormal wavelet bases for representing 1- and 2D signals, based on parallels between the wavelet transform and fully connected artificial neural networks, is described. The structural similarities…

Four problematic circumstances are considered, involving models which describe dynamical wavefunction collapse toward energy eigenstates, for which it is shown that wavefunction collapse of macroscopic objects does not work properly. In one…

Deterministic discrimination of nonorthogonal states is forbidden by quantum measurement theory. However, if we do not want to succeed all the time, i.e. allow for inconclusive outcomes to occur, then unambiguous discrimination becomes…

We consider the problem of precision matrix estimation where, due to extraneous confounding of the underlying precision matrix, the data are independent but not identically distributed. While such confounding occurs in many scientific…

Phase wrapping is a major problem in direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation using phase-difference observations. For a sensor pair with an inter-sensor spacing greater than half of the wavelength ($\lambda/2$) of the signal, phase wrapping…
