For any chance variable x = (x1,⋯,xN) having known distribution, the translation parameter estimation problem is to estimate an unknown constant h, having observed y = (x1 + h,⋯,xN + h). Extending the ...

The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on ...

Applying quantum machine learning to continuous-variable problems requires a very different approach. To do this, the physicists had to develop a new set of tools that work with continuous variables.

We present a method for approximating the solution of mixed integer nonconcave programming problems in bounded variables. We present computational results for 39 test problems which suggest that the ...
