An Apparatus for the Simulation of Breathing Disorders: Physically Meaningful Generation of Surrogate Data [PDF]
The rapidly increasing prevalence of debilitating breathing disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), calls for a meaningful integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare. While this promises improved detection and monitoring of breathing disorders, AI techniques are almost invariably "data hungry" which highlights ...

Preferred states of the apparatus [PDF]
A simple one dimensional model for the system-apparatus interaction is analyzed. The system is a spin-1/2 particle, and its position and momentum degrees constitutes the apparatus. An analysis involving only unitary Schrodinger dynamics illustrates the nature of the correlations established in the system-apparatus entangled state. It is shown that even

Quantum Information in a Distributed Apparatus [PDF]
We investigate the information provided about a specified distributed apparatus of n units in the measurement of a quantum state. It is shown that, in contrast to such measurement of a classical state, which is bounded by log (n+1) bits, the information in a quantum measurement is bounded by 3.7 x n^(1/2) bits.
