A study has developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the partition function. A study led by researchers at ...

Partition functions, which enumerate the distinct ways a positive integer may be expressed as a sum of positive integers, have long captivated mathematicians due to their deep connections with number ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We introduce a random walk in random environment associated to an underlying directed polymer model in 1 + 1 dimensions. This walk is the ...

In this paper we discuss efficient algorithms for computing the values of the partition function and implement these algorithms in order to conduct a numerical study of some conjectures related to the ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

Professor Mark Jerrum has won an award for a paper co-authored with Professor Leslie Ann Goldberg of the University of Liverpool. At the recent "International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and ...

For centuries, some of the greatest names in math have tried to make sense of partition numbers, the basis for adding and counting. Many mathematicians added major pieces to the puzzle, but all of ...

A study led by researchers at North Carolina State University developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the ...
