\section{Introduction} Pick $n+m$ vectors $x_1,\ldots,x_{n+m}$ at random in $\R^m$ according to a certain distribution $\nu$. Take integer linear combinations of the vectors and ask how close they can get to the origin in $\R^m$. One way to measure this is via the diophantine exponent, defined as: \begin{equation}\l...

\section{Introduction} Hybrid photon-magnon systems in ferromagnetic spheres have recently emerged as a promising approach towards coherent information processing \cite{Chumak,Tabuchi2,Tabuchi,Zhang,Goryachev,Bai,Huebl,Zhang4}. Due to the large exchange interaction between spins in ferromagnets, they will lock togethe...

\section{\label{sec:introduction}Introduction} In the last two decades many advances have been made in the field of \textit{Quantum Technology} (QT). QT aims at developing practical applications by making use of the properties of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement~\cite{AcinNJP2018quantum}. The ...

\subsection{Symmetric Clipping} Clipping can arise in various communication systems, when a signal reaches the saturation level \cite{van1966spectrum, hinich1967estimation, gross1994snr, li1998effects}. \citet{gross1994snr} derive an exact expression for the spectral power of a Gaussian process with standard deviati...

\section{INTRODUCTION} The topological superconductor, characterized by a superconducting gap in bulk and Majorana zero modes at boundary, has attracted great attention recently. The Majorana zero mode is a kind of special quasiparticle that is its own antiparticle and obeys non-Abelian statistics, which possesses pot...

\section{Introduction} Secret key generation (also known as key agreement) at the physical layer was first investigated by Maurer \cite{Maurer93a} and Ahlswede and Csisz\'ar \cite{AC_IT93}, who showed that correlated observations of noisy phenomena could be used to distill secret keys by exchanging information over a ...

\section{Introduction} Coincidence site lattices (CSL) are an important tool to characterize and analyze the structure of grain boundaries in crystals~\cite{boll70,boll82}. At grain boundaries, two lattices with different orientation meet and it is thus natural to consider the intersection of these two lattices. Altho...

\section*{Introduction} A classifying space for a discrete group $\Gamma$ is any complex $B\Gamma$ with fundamental group $\Gamma$ and contractible universal cover. If a group has a $d$-dimensional classifying space then it always has a $2d$-dimensoinal {\it manifold} classifying space \cite{stallingsembedding}. This m...

\section{Introduction} The major physical theory calling for the development of {\it nonperturbative} techniques for solving quantum field theories is quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It is arguably {\it the} theory of strong interactions describing hadrons. However to extract the physics of mesons and baryons within a pi...

\section{Introduction} `Einstein--{\ae}ther' theory, or `{\AE}-theory' for short, is a vector tensor theory in which the vector field, or `{\ae}ther', is constrained to be everywhere timelike and of fixed norm. This theory has received increasing attention lately, stemming from a broader interest in the possibil...

\section{Introduction}\label{secIntroduction} For a finite group $G=\{g_1,\ldots ,g_n\}$ we assign a variable $x_g$ for each $g$ in $G$ and define the {\it group determinant} to be the $n\times n$ determinant $$ \mathscr{D}_G(x_{g_1},\ldots ,x_{g_n})= \det \left( x_{g_i g_j^{-1}}\right). $$ Plainly this is a homogene...
