Abstract:

In this thesis we study quantum-like representation and simulation of quantum algorithms by using classical computers.The quantum--like representation algorithm (QLRA) was introduced by A. Khrennikov (1997) to solve the ``inverse Born's rule problem'', i.e. to construct a representation of probabilistic data-- measured in any context of science-- and represent this data by a complex or more general probability amplitude which matches a generalization of Born's rule.The outcome from QLRA matches the formula of total probability with an additional trigonometric, hyperbolic or hyper-trigonometri

Abstract:

Whether a class of quantum circuits can be efficiently simulated with a classical computer, or is provably hard to simulate, depends quite critically on the precise notion of “classical simulation”. We focus on two important notions of simulator, that we refer to as poly-boxes and EPSION-simulators and, discuss how other notions of simulation relate to these. A poly-box is a classical algorithm that outputs additive 1/poly precision estimates of Born probabilities and marginals. We present a general framework used to construct poly-boxes. This framework generalizes a number of recent works on

Abstract:

The present thesis is devoted to the study of path probability of random motion on the basis of an extension of Hamiltonian/Lagrangian mechanics to stochastic dynamics. The path probability is first investigated by numerical simulation for Gaussian stochastic motion of non dissipative systems. This ideal dynamical model implies that, apart from the Gaussian random forces, the system is only subject to conservative forces. This model can be applied to underdamped real random motion in the presence of friction force when the dissipated energy is negligible with respect to the variation of the po

Abstract:

Smoothing is an estimation method whereby a classical state (probability distribution for classical variables) at a given time is conditioned on all-time (both past and future) observations. This method has been well developed in classical systems, but its application to quantum systems has only recently begun to be explored. Previous works have used the term "quantum smoothing" to mean estimating classical parameters, (Phys. Rev. Lett., 102, 250403, (2009)), which is essentially classical smoothing in which the noisy observation of the classical parameters is mediated by a quantum system. In

In the first part, a smoothed LDA model is applied to the corpus, investigating how changes in hyperparameter values affect the topics in terms of distribution of words within topics and topics within novels. In the second part, two smoothed LDA models are applied to a reduced corpus, only consisting of adjectives. The generated topics are examined to see if they are more likely to occur in a text of a particular author and i

Abstract:

In Chapter 1 the classical secretary problem is introduced. Chapters 2 and 3 are variations of this problem. Chapter 2, discusses the problem of maximizing the probability of stopping with one of the two highest values in a Bernoulli random walk with arbitrary parameter p and finite time horizon n. The optimal strategy (continue or stop) depends on a sequence of threshold values (critical probabilities) which has an oscillating pattern. Several properties of this sequence have been proved by Dr. Allaart. Further properties have been recently proved. In Chapter 3, a gambler will observe a finit

Cette théorie est fréquemment utilisée pour construire des martingales à valeurs dans les mesures de Borel positives dont la limite soit presque sûrement singulière par rapport à la mesure de Lebesgue. Ceci se fait en perturbant cette dernière à l'aide d'une suite de densités aléatoires qui sont des martingales positives d'espérance 1. Ici,

Abstract:

In this work we study performances of different machine learning models by focusing on regularization properties in order to explain different phenomena that are observed in practice. We consider linear models on possibly infinite dimensionale feature space that are trained by optimizing an empirical mean squared errror. We study regularization properties of accelerated method like Nesterov or $ u$-method and properties of interpolating estimator where the main regularization sources vanish to zero and explain different behaviour which can be seen in practical applications.

Several finite dimensional quasi-probability representations of quantum states have been proposed to study various problems in quantum information theory and quantum foundations. These representations are often defined only on restricted dimensions and their physical significance in contexts such as drawing quantum-classical comparisons is limited by the non-uniqueness of the particular representation. In this thesis it is shown how the mathematical theory of frames provides a unified formalism which accommodates all known quasi-probability representations of finite dimensional quantum system
