It has been shown that entanglement distillation of Gaussian entangled states by means of local photon subtraction can be improved by local Gaussian transformations. Here we show that a similar effect can be expected for the distillation of an asymmetric Gaussian entangled state that is produced by a single squeezed beam. We show that for low initial entanglement, our largely simplified protoco...

Information distillation aims to analyze and interpret large volumes of speech and text archives in multiple languages and produce structured information of interest to the user. In this work, we investigate cross-lingual information distillation, where nonEnglish (source language) documents are searched for user queries that are in English (target language). We propose to perform distillation ...

The stringent quality requirement of petroleum products in highly competitive markets makes on-line controlling of distillation composition essential. In this paper, a novel method using sensitivity matrix analysis and kernel ridge regression to implement on-line estimation of distillation compositions is proposed. In the approach, the sensitivity matrix analysis is presented to select the most...

A new, general method for the determination of batch distillation regions of heteroazeotropic distillation is suggested. The method proposed, which means the extension of the method of Pham and Doherty, takes into consideration the possibility of the withdrawal of any fraction of either liquid phase from the decanter as distillate. The simplified and rigorous simulation calculations were carrie...

INTRODUCTION In Japan, Pilot Plant of the HIDiC was built in 2005. It was commercial base scale and already achieved the consecutive distillation for 1000 hours. The energy consumption of the pilot HIDiC was only about 70% of that of a conventional distillation column. The HIDiC can lower reboiler and condenser load by heat exchange between rectifying section and stripping section. Therefore, i...

The synthesis of complex distillation columns has remained a major challenge since the pioneering work by [Sargent, R.W.H., & Gaminibandara, K. (1976). Optimal design of plate distillation columns. In L.C.W. Dixon (Ed.), Optimization in action. New York: Academic Press]. In this paper, we first provide a review of recent work for the optimal design of distillation of individual columns using tr...

The distillation technique helps transform cumbersome neural networks into compact so that models can be deployed on alternative hardware devices. main advantage of distillation-based approaches include a simple training process, supported by most off-the-shelf deep learning software and no special requirements. In this paper, we propose guideline for distilling the architecture knowledge pretr...

The security of a cryptographic key that is generated by communication through a noisy quantum channel relies on the ability to distill a shorter secure key sequence from a longer insecure one. For an important class of protocols, which exploit tomographically complete measurements on entangled pairs of any dimension, we show that the noise threshold for classical advantage distillation is iden...

Distillation towers are essential to the chemical process industries (CPI), so it is imperative that they are properly designed and operated. Tower internals are arguably the most important piece of process equipment, since they cannot easily be accessed after startup. If the tower internals malfunction, the distillation tower will follow suit and the entire chemical process will suffer. This a...

When a quantum cryptographic system operates in the presence of background noise, security of the key can be recovered by a procedure called key distillation. A key-distillation scheme effective against so-called individual (bitwise-independent) eavesdropping attacks involves sacrifice of some of the data through privacy amplification. We derive the amount of data sacrifice sufficient to defend...
