Aram Harrow - Quantum Monte Carlo vs Tunneling in Adiabatic Optimization

In this talk I'll present a quantum algorithm for solving semidefinite programs (SDPs). It has worst case running time O((nm)^1/2 r), with n and r the dimension and sparsity of the input matrices, respectively, and m the number of constraints. In contrast any classical method requires at least Omega(nm) time to solve the problem. I'll discuss how for some instances the algorithm might offer eve...

Epidemiology of gonococcal and chlamydial infections in Harrow and Brent.

OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiology and associated clinical features of gonorrhoea and chlamydial infection and to develop a profile of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in an outer London health district. DESIGN Hospital-based retrospective study. SETTING Genitourinary medicine clinic, Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow and Brent Health Authority. SUBJECTS 70 male and female individua...

PEACH: Predicting Frost Events in Peach Orchards Using IoT Technology

In 2013, 85% of the peach production in the Mendoza region (Argentina) was lost because of frost. In a couple of hours, farmers can lose everything. Handling a frost event is possible, but it is hard to predict when it is going to happen. The goal of the PEACH project is to predict frost events by analyzing measurements from sensors deployed around an orchard. This article provides an in-depth ...

The Dawn of Galaxies ∗

The development of primordial inhomogeneities into the non-linear regime and the formation of the first astrophysical objects within dark matter halos mark the transition from a simple, neutral, cooling universe – described by just a few parameters – to a messy ionized one – the realm of radiative, hydrodynamic, and star formation processes. The recent measurement by the WMAP satellite of a lar...
