Abstract: Office hours: MWF, immediately after class or early afternoon (time TBA). We will cover the mathematical foundations of probability theory. The basic terminology and concepts of probability theory include: random experiments, sample or outcome spaces (discrete and continuous case), events and their algebra, probability measures, conditional probability A First Course in Probability (8th ed.) by S. Ross. This is a lively text that covers the basic ideas of probability theory including those needed in statistics. Theoretical concepts are introduced via interesting concrete examples. In 394 I will begin my lectures with the basics of probability theory in Chapter 2. However, your first assignment is to review Chapter 1, which treats elementary counting methods. They are used in applications in Chapter 2. I expect to cover Chapters 2-5 plus portions of 6 and 7. You are encouraged to read ahead. In lectures I will not be able to cover every topic and example in Ross, and conversely, I may cover some topics/examples in lectures that are not treated in Ross. You will be responsible for all material in my lectures, assigned reading, and homework, including supplementary handouts if any.

Closest point search in lattices
TL;DR: An efficient closest point search algorithm, based on the Schnorr-Euchner (1995) variation of the Pohst (1981) method, is implemented and is shown to be substantially faster than other known methods.
Quantum random walks: an introductory overview
TL;DR: This article will introduce quantum random walks, review some of their properties and outline their striking differences to classical walks, introducing some of the main concepts and language of present day quantum information science in this context.

Fractional Schrödinger equation.
TL;DR: The Hermiticity of the fractional Hamilton operator and the parity conservation law for fractional quantum mechanics are established and the energy spectra of a hydrogenlike atom and of a fractional oscillator in the semiclassical approximation are found.

Markov Random Field Texture Models
George R. Cross,Anil K. Jain +1 more
TL;DR: The power of the binomial model to produce blurry, sharp, line-like, and blob-like textures is demonstrated and the synthetic microtextures closely resembled their real counterparts, while the regular and inhomogeneous textures did not.
