Discrete structures are omnipresent in mathematics, computer science, statistical physics, optimisation and models of natural phenomena. For instance, complex random graphs serve as a model for social ...

Stochastic dominance (SD) theory is concerned with orderings of random variables by classes of utility functions characterized solely in terms of general properties. This paper discusses a type of ...

Many physical platforms, including photons, ions, atoms, solid state and superconducting devices, and nuclear magnetic resonance 1, are being explored with the view of constructing a quantum computer.
