This paper presents a novel multi-label and interactive image segmentation algorithm that draws analogies to electric network circuits solutions from electrical engineering. Treating the image as a ...

Quantum walks, the quantum analogue of classical random walks, have emerged as a pivotal framework in the study of quantum dynamics and information processing. These systems exploit inherently quantum ...

The pharmaceutical research that makes the news tends to focus on single "blockbuster" drugs. Some of the most effective therapies, in contrast, are combinations of drugs. These combinations can often ...

Quantum bits (qubits) are the building blocks of quantum computers, but putting enough of them together in the one device to run computations like those expected in a standard computer is difficult to ...

We develop a new, random walk-based, algorithm for the Hamiltonian cycle problem. The random walk is on pairs of extreme points of two suitably constructed polytopes. The latter are derived from ...

Single atoms have been spotted doing the quantum version of the random walk by physicists in Germany. This sighting of a “quantum walk” could help in the design of quantum search algorithms, or in the ...

Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve ...
