Convex Quantization Preserves Logconcavity

Pol del Aguila Pla, Aleix Boquet I Pujadas

A logconcave likelihood is as important to proper statistical inference as a convex cost function is important to variational optimization. Quantization is often disregarded when writing likelihood models, ignoring the limitations of the physical detectors ...

Semiclassical methods in conformal field theories scrutinized by the epsilon-expansion

Gil Badel

Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are crucial for our understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Because of their powerful symmetry properties, they play the role of signposts in the space of QFTs. Any method that gives us information about their structure ...

Quantum coherent microwave-optical transduction using high-overtone bulk acoustic resonances

Tobias Kippenberg, Terence Albert Emile Blésin

A device capable of converting single quanta of the microwave field to the optical domain is an outstanding endeavor in the context of quantum interconnects between distant superconducting qubits, but likewise can have applications in other fields, such as ...

Finite-Level Quantization Procedures for Construction and Decoding of Polar Codes

Emre Telatar, Yunus Inan

We consider finite-level, symmetric quantization procedures for construction and decoding of polar codes. Whether polarization occurs in the presence of quantization is not known in general. In [1], it is shown that a simple three-level quantization proced ...

Quantization Design for Distributed Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger, Ye Pu

We consider the problem of solving a distributed optimization problem using a distributed computing platform, where the communication in the network is limited: each node can only communicate with its neighbors and the channel has a limited data-rate. A co ...

Semiclassics, Goldstone bosons and CFT data

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, David Pirtskhalava, Fiona Katharina Seibold

Hellerman et al. (arXiv:1505.01537) have shown that in a generic CFT the spectrum of operators carrying a large U(1) charge can be analyzed semiclassically in an expansion in inverse powers of the charge. The key is the operator state correspondence by whi ...

Noether Theorems and Quantum Anomalies

Tudor Ratiu

A quantum anomaly is the breaking of symmetry with respect to some transformations after the quantization of a classical Hamiltonian or Lagrangian system. It is shown that both the Noether theorems (including their infinite-dimensional versions) and the ex ...

Geometry-driven quantization for omnidirectional image coding

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone

In this paper we propose a method to adapt the quantization tables of typical block-based transform codecs when the input to the encoder is a panoramic image resulting from equirectangular projection of a spherical image. When the visual content is project ...

Graph Signal Processing : Sparse Representation and Applications

Ntorina Thanou

Over the past few decades we have been experiencing an explosion of information generated by large networks of sensors and other data sources. Much of this data is intrinsically structured, such as traffic evolution in a transportation network, temperature ...

From the free surface flow of a viscoelastic fluid towards the elastic deformation of a solid

Marco Picasso

The free surface flow of an Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid is considered, following A. Bonito, M. Picasso, and M. Laso (2006)[1]. When removing a term in the extra-stress constitutive relation, the description of an elastic incompressible solid is obtained, ...

Quantization Design for Unconstrained Distributed Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Ye Pu, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

We consider an unconstrained distributed optimization problem and assume that the bit rate of the communication in the network is limited. We propose a distributed optimization algorithm with an iteratively refining quantization design, which bounds the qu ...

Spin-orbital separation in the quasi-one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Thorsten Schmitt, Martin Mourigal

When viewed as an elementary particle, the electron has spin and charge. When binding to the atomic nucleus, it also acquires an angular momentum quantum number corresponding to the quantized atomic orbital it occupies. Even if electrons in solids form ban ...

The quantum mechanics of perfect fluids

Riccardo Rattazzi, Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We consider the canonical quantization of an ordinary fluid. The resulting long-distance effective field theory is derivatively coupled, and therefore strongly coupled in the UV. The system however exhibits a number of peculiarities, associated with the vo ...

Phonon confinement and plasmon-phonon interaction in nanowire-based quantum wells

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Bernt Ketterer

Resonant Raman spectroscopy is realized on closely spaced nanowire-based quantum wells. Phonon quantization consistent with 2.4-nm-thick quantum wells is observed, in agreement with cross-section transmission electron microscopy measurements and photolumin ...

Dynamics-controlled truncation scheme for quantum optics and nonlinear dynamics in semiconductor microcavities

We present a systematic theory of Coulomb-induced correlation effects in the nonlinear optical processes within the strong-coupling regime. In this paper, we shall set a dynamics controlled truncation scheme microscopic treatment of nonlinear parametric pr ...

Performance of Sigma-Delta Quantizations in Finite Frames

In this paper, we consider sigma-delta (SD) quantization of geometrically uniform (GU) finite frames. In the first part, we prove that under some conditions, the variant I and II permutation modulation (PM) codes, first introduced by Slepian (1968, 1965), ...

Multiple description image coding with redundant expansions and optimal quantization

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Radulovic

This paper addresses the problem of optimal rate allocation for multiple description coding with redundant signal expansions. In case of redundant descriptions, the quantization of the transform coefficients has clearly to be adapted to the importance of t ...
