The paper uses relationships between random walks, combinatorial potential theory, trees, and electric circuits to generate multi-label segmentations in images. The proposed segmentation algorithm is ...

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 ...

The lab has also designed a simple algorithm that encodes recognition between cargos and their destinations, and allows for a simple robot design.

Such algorithms are very useful for modeling such things as Brownian motion – the seemingly random movement of particles suspended in a fluid – and Boson Sampling – an experimental system ...

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 ...

Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve ...
