Distribution-constrained maximum stopping of maximum type
We consider the distribution-constrained optimal stopping problem $\sup_{τ\sim μ} \mathbb E[B^*_τ]$, where $μ$ is a probability distribution on $\mathbb R_+$, and $(B^*_t)$ denotes the running…Stable and Online Algorithms for Random Matrix Discrepancy
We study the average-case matrix discrepancy problem: given independent normalized $d\times d$ Gaussian orthogonal ensemble matrices $A_1,\dots,A_N$ and a fixed margin $κ>0$, find signs…Ballistic Speed and Potential-Theoretic Recurrence for Homogeneous Open Quantum Random Walks
Our study connects root-mean-square ballistic transport to potential-theoretic recurrence for finite-range open quantum random walks.Convergence of Kikuchi matrices to $Γ$-independent and $q$-Gaussian limits
Kikuchi matrices are a family of structured matrices that were introduced to study problems involving tensors and hypergraphs.A computational phase diagram for the transverse field Ising model
We study the transverse field Ising model, defined by the Hamiltonian $H =\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i, j\in [n]} J_{ij} Z_i Z_j +\sum_{i=1}^n h_i^z Z_i + η\sum_{i} X_i$ where $J $ is the symmetric…Wasserstein Gradient Flows and Forward-Only Diffusion Are Not Enough for Multimodal Sampling
There has been a proliferation of sampling algorithms based on Wasserstein gradient flows (WGF) and forward-only diffusion processes (FODP), often accompanied by theoretical guarantees of…Densities for scalar-valued BSDEs via unique continuation and backward uniqueness
We give sufficient conditions ensuring that, at every fixed positive time, the scalar backward component of a Markovian forward-backward stochastic differential equation with multidimensional…Muon meets Tamed Langevin: Momentum Preconditioning beyond Convex and gradient-Lipschitz Potentials
We consider the problem of sampling from Gibbs distributions on matrix spaces whose potential energies are neither convex nor globally gradient-Lipschitz.Beyond Light Cones: State Preparation Complexity in Quantum Spin Glasses
We introduce a method for studying state preparation complexity in dense quantum $p$-spin Hamiltonians on $n$ qubits, going beyond bounds based only on circuit lightcones.Local decisions, diffusive influence, and lower bounds for graphical balanced allocation
In graphical two-choice allocation, each arriving ball is assigned to one endpoint of a random edge.MultiTable: A Faster Hash Table at any Physical Load Factor up to and Including One
We present \emph{multitable} and its Rust reference implementation: a stable hash table both materially faster at equal physical memory and more flexible than the SwissTable in its Rust's hashbrown…Stochastic Knothe-Rosenblatt: Light-speed Calibration of Stochastic Local Volatility Models
European option smiles determine the risk-neutral marginal laws of an asset, but not their intertemporal coupling, which is decisive for many applications.A Dynamical Theory of LoRA in Continual Learning
Despite the widespread use of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), little is known about its dynamics in continual learning and the mechanisms by which low-rank updates affect catastrophic forgetting.Dimension-Free Rank Lifting from Random Hyperplane Arrangements
We study the width required for a randomly initialized hidden layer of a neural network to achieve rank lifting.Robust and Learned Online Matching in Growing Trees
We study irrevocable maximum-cardinality matching in trees revealed by successive leaf attachments, with a known horizon and an exogenous growth law that is misspecified or unknown.Limit Theorems for Disordered Quantum Trajectories
We study discrete-time quantum trajectories of a finite-dimensional system in a disordered environment, where the instrument applied at each step is determined by an invertible measure-preserving…Spectral gaps and slow modes of Pauli rotations and random quantum circuits
We determine which representation sectors control the slowest convergence of random Pauli rotations and several local random quantum circuits.A mixing time method for estimating the sample complexity of quantum state discrimination
We develop a mixing time method for estimating the sample complexity of quantum state discrimination.Refined sample complexities from the tomographic rate function
Protocols for quantum state tomography can be characterized either by their sample complexity or by the tomographic rate function that governs the large deviation behaviour of error estimates.Gibbs Sampling in the Shattered Phase by Decoded Quantum Interferometry
We apply Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI) to sample from the Gibbs measures of classical Ising spin Hamiltonians.
