A magic state’s fidelity can be superior to the operations that created it

A magic state’s fidelity can be superior to the operations that created it

The leading approach to fault tolerant quantum computing requires a continual supply ofmagic states. When a newmagic state isfirst encoded, its initial fidelity will be too poor for use in the computation. This necessitates a resource-intensive distillation process that occupies themajority of the computer’s hardware; creatingmagic states with a high initialfidelityminimizes this cost and is th...

“Not Everything That Is Faced Can Be Changed, but Nothing Can Be Changed Until It Is Faced”: A Response to Recent Commentaries

The meaning of "socialization of health" to Iranian policymakers and how it can be implemented

Complex nature of health and disease, the impact of various socioeconomic factors on the health system arrangements and health of the society, and also the impact of health on the social and economic conditions of the society require a social approach to health. This necessity has led to the creation of new policies and programs, under the name of socialization of health, to strengthen the soci...

Ridesharing in Muscat: Can it be a Sustainable Solution for the Traffic Congestion?

We deal with developing a Decision Support System (DSS) to promote the ridesharing among both students and staff of a big organization. The DSS includes a set of functions that allow the management of the riders’ requests and drivers’ availability and embeds a novel two-phase optimization approach that helps in defining the optimal riders-drivers matching. The first phase consists o...

It can be smart to be dumb

An important problem in game theory is why bounded rationality occurs, e.g., why altruism to non-kin occurs. Previous explanations involved computational limitations of the players, repeated play among the players etc. As an alternative, we introduce a pre-play step in which each player i chooses a “persona”, i.e., a ficticious utility function she commits to use in the game. By adopting differ...
