Directionally-unbiased unitary optical devices in discrete-time quantum walks [PDF]
, 2019 The optical beam splitter is a widely-used device in photonics-based quantum information processing. Specifically, linear optical networks demand large numbers of beam splitters for unitary matrix realization.

Prediction Markets: Alternative Mechanisms for Complex Environments with Few Traders [PDF]
, 2010 Double auction prediction markets have proven successful in large-scale applications such as elections and sporting events. Consequently, several large corporations have adopted these markets for smaller-scale internal applications where information may ...

Seamless Clinical Trials with Doubly Adaptive Biased Coin Designs
The New England Journal of Statistics in Data Science, 2023 In addition to scientific questions, clinical trialists often explore or require other design features, such as increasing the power while controlling the type I error rate, minimizing unnecessary exposure to inferior treatments, and comparing multiple treatments in one clinical trial.

Qubit state transfer via discrete-time quantum walks [PDF]
, 2015 We propose a scheme for perfect transfer of an unknown qubit state via the discrete-time quantum walk on a line or a circle. For this purpose, we introduce an additional coin operator which is applied at the end of the walk. This operator does not depend

Synthesis of Stochastic Flow Networks [PDF]
, 2012 A stochastic flow network is a directed graph with incoming edges (inputs) and outgoing edges (outputs), tokens enter through the input edges, travel stochastically in the network, and can exit the network through the output edges.

Journal of Obstetric Anaesthesia and Critical Care, 2017 Background: Oxytocin, a commonly used drug to prevent uterine atony after caesarean section, should be administered as dilute rapid infusion rather than as a bolus. This study was conducted to calculate ED90 of oxytocin infusion during caesarean delivery

On the almost sure convergence of adaptive allocation procedures [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper, we provide some general convergence results for adaptive designs for treatment comparison, both in the absence and presence of covariates. In particular, we demonstrate the almost sure convergence of the treatment allocation proportion for

Central Limit Theorems for Doubly Adaptive Biased Coin Designs
The Annals of Statistics, 1995 Subjects are assumed to arrive sequentially at an experimental site and are immediately assigned to one of two treatments \(A\) or \(B\). Responses from the subjects for the treatments are assumed to be independent random variables from exponential families. Let \(\rho\) denote the desired allocation proportion under Eiseles biased coin design [\textit{

Too good to be true: when overwhelming evidence fails to convince [PDF]
, 2016 Is it possible for a large sequence of measurements or observations, which support a hypothesis, to counterintuitively decrease our confidence? Can unanimous support be too good to be true?

Selecting a Biased-Coin Design
Statistical Science, 2014 Biased-coin designs are used in clinical trials to allocate treatments with some randomness while maintaining approximately equal allocation. More recent rules are compared with Efron's [Biometrika 58 (1971) 403-417] biased-coin rule and extended to allow balance over covariates.
