A continuous random variable is a type of variable that can take on any value within a given range. Unlike discrete random variables, which have a countable number of outcomes, continuous random ...

This paper examines further the problem of approximating the distribution of a continuous random variable based on three key percentiles, typically the median (50th percentile) and the 5% points (5th ...

A research team has developed a novel direct sampling method based on deep generative models. Their method enables efficient sampling of the Boltzmann distribution across a continuous temperature ...

Sampling from probability distributions with known density functions (up to normalization) is a fundamental challenge across various scientific domains. From Bayesian uncertainty quantification to ...

We introduce a polarization-agnostic method for Gaussian-modulated coherent-state (GCMS) continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD). Due to the random and continuous nature of the GCMS ...
