Quantum Walk Algorithms Quantum walks, sometimes called quantum random walks, are quantum analogues of (classical) random walks, which have proved to be a very powerful algorithmic tool in classical ...

The key idea is that the hitting times of the random walk provide a random function for which no algorithm can locate the minimum within 2 d (1/2 - ε) steps. The purpose of The Annals of Probability ...

Single atoms have been spotted doing the quantum version of the random walk by physicists in Germany. This sighting of a “quantum walk” could help in the design of quantum search algorithms, or in the ...

Course Objectives: Knowledge and application of MapReduce Understanding the rate of occurrences of events in big data How to design algorithms for stream processing and counting of frequent elements ...

We also find new equilibria by implementing two versions of a random walk algorithm. First, we cluster sub-groups of particles into patterns during the packing process, and 'grow' a packed state using ...

Thermodynamic computing is similar to probabilistic computing, where randomness and noise aren't obstacles to overcome but valuable tools for solving complex problems. Traditional computer chips ...
