Solving optimization problems is a key task for which quantum computers could possibly provide a speedup over the best known classical algorithms. Particular classes of optimization problems including semidefinite programming (SDP) and linear programming ( ...
Operational analytics enables real-time data analysis for actionable insights on operational data through hybrid transaction and analytical processing (HTAP). HTAP focuses on analytical data freshness, that is, query processing on fresh data generated by c ...
The mapping of flows in a city is essential for understanding urban systems and enabling the transition of the city into a circular economy. However, while tools for the virtual representations of physical volumes and spaces in urban environments have prol ...
We study ensembles of elastic rods that are tensioned by a small set of inextensible cables. The cables induce forces that deform the initially straight, but flexible rods into 3D space curves at equilibrium. Rods can be open or closed, knotted, and arrang ...
Universal quantum algorithms that prepare arbitrary n-qubit quantum states require O(2n) gate complexity. The complexity can be reduced by considering specific families of quantum states depending on the task at hand. In particular, multipartite quantum st ...
Robotic systems are becoming more and more pervasive in modern industrial, scientific and personal activities through recent years and will play a fundamental role in the future society. Despite their increasing level of automation, teleoperation is still ...
For years, immersive interfaces using virtual and augmented reality (AR) for molecular visualization and modeling have promised a revolution in the way how we teach, learn, communicate and work in chemistry, structural biology and related areas. However, m ...
We propose a new and low per-iteration complexity first-order primal-dual optimization framework for a convex optimization template with broad applications. Our analysis relies on a novel combination of three classic ideas applied to the primal-dual gap fu ...
There have been many claims that Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) can have a positive impact
on learning. Alleged benefits include increasing usability, improving engagement and
collaboration of students, and providing a better perception of the task, esp ...
