The benchmark tests show that the noise-free realization of QA can significantly outperform state-of-the-art classical algorithms. Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the ...

In this paper, we consider the discrete power function associated with the sixth Painlevé equation. This function is a special solution of the so-called crossratio equation with a similarity ...

I'm taking my first discrete math course. One aspect of functions has me stumped. We're asked to list the functions from a two-element set to a three-element set. And then list all the functions from ...

In this paper we construct the main ingredients of a discrete function theory in higher dimensions by means of a new "skew" type of Weyl relations. We will show that this new type overcomes the ...

Split a mile in half, you get half a mile. Split the half mile, you get a quarter, and on and on, until you’ve carved out a length far smaller than the diameter of an atom. Can this slicing continue ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you want to learn what the Universe is made out of at a fundamental ...
