We talk a lot about quantum computation and quantum key distribution here at Ars, but when we do this, we're usually talking about a discrete logic system. That is, the quantum system uses a set of ...

In the present paper a uniform asymptotic series is derived for the probability distribution of the sum of a large number of independent random variables. In contrast to the usual Edgeworth-type ...

Tables are given of the expected value of 1/X, the expected value of 1/X 2, and the standard deviation of 1/X, where X is a variable following a negative binomial distribution whose zero class is ...
