Quantum scattering is used ubiquitously in both experimental and theoretical physics across a wide range of disciplines, from high-energy physics to mesoscopic physics. In this work, we uncover universal relations for the energy…
We undertake a detailed study of the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) estimators of the density matrix of finite-dimensional quantum systems, in order to interrogate generic properties of frequentist quantum state estimation. Existing…
We introduce $(\gamma,\delta)$-similarity, a notion of system comparison that measures to what extent two stable linear dynamical systems behave similarly in an input-output sense. This behavioral similarity is characterized by measuring…
The Free Energy Principle (FEP) states that under suitable conditions of weak coupling, random dynamical systems with sufficient degrees of freedom will behave so as to minimize an upper bound, formalized as a variational free energy, on…
This paper is concerned with the problem of frequency estimation from multiple-snapshot data. It is well-known that ESPRIT (and spatial-smoothing ESPRIT in presence of coherent sources or given limited snapshots) can locate the true…
Hidden stochastic effects acting uniformly on a many-particle system can generate strong correlations and macroscopic relative fluctuations that persist at large system sizes, even when the particles themselves remain causally independent.…
As both predictions and measurements of high-energy physics observables become more precise, controlling all sources of uncertainties in determinations of parton distribution functions (PDFs) becomes increasingly important. One source of…
The sample frequency spectrum (SFS) of DNA sequences from a collection of individuals is a summary statistic which is commonly used for parametric inference in population genetics. Despite the popularity of SFS-based inference methods,…
Stochastic fluctuations of molecular abundances are a ubiquitous feature of cellular processes and lead to significant cell-to-cell variability. Recent theoretical work established lower bounds for stochastic fluctuations in cells for broad…
The exact statistics of an arbitrary quantum observable is analytically obtained. Due to the probabilistic nature of a sequence of intermediate measurements and stochastic fluctuations induced by the interaction with the environment, the…
We consider the dynamic linear regression problem, where the predictor vector may vary with time. This problem can be modeled as a linear dynamical system, with non-constant observation operator, where the parameters that need to be learned…
We analyze about two hundred naturally occurring networks with distinct dynamical origins to formally test whether the commonly assumed hypothesis of an underlying scale-free structure is generally viable. This has recently been questioned…
An expression is derived for the classical free energy difference between two configurations of a system, in terms of an ensemble of finite-time measurements of the work performed in parametrically switching from one configuration to the…
We consider a nonlinear differential equation under the combined influence of small state-dependent Brownian perturbations of size $\varepsilon$, and fast periodic sampling with period $\delta$; $0<\varepsilon, \delta \ll 1$. Thus, state…
Power-law distributions are typical macroscopic features occurring in almost all complex systems observable in nature. As a result, researchers in quantitative analyses must often generate random synthetic variates obeying power-law…
We consider nonlinear, or "event-dependent", sampling, i.e. such that the sampling instances {tk} depend on the function being sampled. The use of such sampling in the construction of Lebesgue's integral sums is noted and discussed as…
We perform an extrapolative analysis of "fast-growth" free-energy-difference (DF) estimates of a computer-modeled, fully-solvated ethane<->methanol transformation. The results suggest that extrapolation can greatly reduce the systematic…
It is argued that self-duality of one system leads to the zero finite-size scaling amplitude of the critical internal energy for all system belonging to the same universality class. For such models, we may expect that condition of equality…
Using a one-dimensional macromolecule in aqueous solution as an illustration, we demonstrate that the relative entropy from information theory, $\sum_k p_k\ln(p_k/p_k^*)$, has a natural role in the energetics of equilibrium and…
The delta method creates more general inference results when coupled with central limit theorem results for the finite population. This opens up a range of new estimators for which we can find finite population asymptotic properties. We…
