3 Elements of Basic Probability

Our principal goal, in this section, is to quickly review the basic ideas and concepts of probability theory. For additional background and examples, please consult the text used for your prerequisite probability class and/or the following books: 1 What is Stochastic Modeling? Stochastic modeling concerns the use of probability to model real-world situations in which uncertainty is present. Sin...

Basic Elements of Logical Graphs

We considers how a particular kind of graph corresponds to multiplicative intuitionistic linear logic formula. The main feature of the graphical notation is that it absorbs certain symmetries between conjunction and implication. We look at the basic definitions and present details of an implementation in the functional programming language Standard ML. This provides a functional approach to gra...

Basic Elements of Quantum Information Technology

The marriage of quantum physics and information technology has the potential to generate radically new information processing devices. Examples are quantum cryptosystems, which provide guaranteed secure communication, and quantum computers, which manipulate data quantum mechanically and could thus solve some problems currently intractable to conventional (classical) computation. This introducto...
