In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

Abstract: This paper derives new bounds on the difference of the entropies of two discrete random variables in terms of the local and total variation distances between their probability mass functions ...
Fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture using hybrid qubits / Fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture based on hybrid qubits that utilize both DV and CV qubits simultaneously. It utilizes ...
Abstract: Consider a system comprising sensors that communicate with a remote estimator by way of a so-called collision channel. Each sensor observes a discrete random variable and must decide whether ...
