Sturm–Liouville systems for the survival probability in first-passage time problems
(2023-11-15)We derive a Sturm–Liouville system of equations for the exact calculation of the survival probability in first-passage time problems. This system is the one associated with the Wiener–Hopf integral equation obtained from ... -
Resource-Efficient High-Dimensional Entanglement Detection via Symmetric Projections
(2023-10-25)We introduce two families of criteria for detecting and quantifying the entanglement of a bipartite quantum state of arbitrary local dimension. The first is based on measurements in mutually unbiased bases and the second ... -
Morning naps architecture and mentation recall complexity
(2023)Mentation reports were collected after spontaneous awakenings from morning naps in 18 healthy participants, and associations between sleep stages duration and complexity of recalled mentation were investigated. Participants ... -
Fire-spotting modelling in operational wildfire simulators based on cellular automata: a comparison study.
(2021)One crucial mechanism in the spread of wildfires is the so-called fire-spotting: a random phenomenon which occurs when embers are transported over large distances. Fire-spotting speeds up the Rate of Spread and starts ... -
Coplanar Antenna Design for Microwave Entangled Signals Propagating in Open Air
(2022-01-01)Open-air microwave quantum communication and metrology protocols must be able to transfer quantum resources from a cryostat, where they are created, to an environment dominated by thermal noise. Indeed, the states carrying ... -
Quantum-enhanced Doppler lidar
(2022-12-01)We propose a quantum-enhanced lidar system to estimate a target’s radial velocity, which employs squeezed and frequency-entangled signal and idler beams. We compare its performance against a classical protocol using a ... -
Bi-Frequency Illumination: A Quantum-Enhanced Protocol
(2022-11-01)Quantum-enhanced, idler-free sensing protocol to measure the response of a target object to the frequency of a probe in a noisy and lossy scenario is proposed. In this protocol, a target with frequency-dependent reflectivity ... -
Approximating the quantum approximate optimization algorithm with digital-analog interactions
(2022-10-01)The quantum approximate optimization algorithm was proposed as a heuristic method for solving combinatorial optimization problems on near-term quantum computers and may be among the first algorithms to perform useful ... -
Hybrid quantum-classical heuristic for the bin packing problem
(2022-07-09)Optimization problems is one of the most challenging applications of quantum computers, as well as one of the most relevants. As a consequence, it has attracted huge efforts to obtain a speedup over classical algorithms ... -
Open-Air Microwave Entanglement Distribution for Quantum Teleportation
(2022-10-01)Microwave technology plays a central role in current wireless communications, including mobile communication and local area networks. The microwave range shows relevant advantages with respect to other frequencies in ... -
Fire-spotting modelling in operational wildfire simulators based on cellular automata: a comparison study
(2023-07-31)One crucial mechanism in the spread of wildfires is the so-called fire-spotting: a random phenomenon which occurs when embers are transported over large distances. Fire-spotting speeds up the Rate of Spread and starts new ... -
Predicting the arrival of the unpredictable: An approach for foreseeing the transition to chaos of wildfire propagation
(2023-07-07)A discrete map for modelling wildfire propagation is derived from a prototypical reaction-diffusion equation for the temperature field. We show that, for a constant fuel concentration at the fire-front, the heat transfer ... -
Monodromy conjecture for semi-quasihomogeneous hypersurfaces
(2021)We give a proof the monodromy conjecture relating the poles of motivic zeta functions with roots of b-functions for isolated quasihomogeneous hypersurfaces, and more generally for semi-quasihomogeneous hypersurfaces. We ... -
The Fokker-Planck equation of the superstatistical fractional Brownian motion with application to passive tracers inside cytoplasm.
(2022)By collecting from literature data the experimental evidences of anomalous diffusion of passive tracers inside cytoplasm, and in particular of subdiffusion of mRNA molecules inside live E. coli cells, we get the probability ... -
Polar exploration of complex surface germs
(2021)We prove that the topological type of a normal surface singularity pX, 0q provides finite bounds for the multiplicity and polar multiplicity of pX, 0q, as well as for the combinatorics of the families of generic hyperplane ... -
The dimension of the image of the Abel map associated with normal surface singularities
(2019)Let (X, o) be a complex normal surface singularity with rational homology sphere link and let Xe be one of its good resolutions. Fix an effective cycle Z supported on the exceptional curve and also a possible Chern class ... -
Monodromy conjecture for log generic polynomials
(2020)A log generic hypersurface in P n with respect to a birational modification of P n is by definition the image of a generic element of a high power of an ample linear series on the modification. A log very-generic ... -
Wiener-Hopf Integral Equations in Mean First-passage Time Problems for Continuous-time Random Walks
(2023)We study the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for asymmetric continuous time random walks in continuous space characterised by finite mean waiting times and jump amplitudes with both finite average and finite variance. We ... -

Anomalous diffusion originated by two Markovian hopping-trap mechanisms
(2022)We show through intensive simulations that the paradigmatic features of anomalous diffusion are indeed the features of a (continuous-time) random walk driven by two different Markovian hopping-trap mechanisms. If $p ...
