Management Fads, Pedagogies and Soft Technologies
Jonathan Bendor, Bernardo A. Huberman, Fang Wu
We present a model for the diffusion of management fads and other technologies which lack clear objective evidence about their merits. The choices made by non-Bayesian adopters ref…
Population inversion of driven two-level systems in a structureless bath
T. M. Stace, A. C. Doherty, S. D. Barrett
We derive a master equation for a driven double-dot damped by an unstructured phonon bath, and calculate the spectral density. We find that bath mediated photon absorption is impor…
Reciprocal relativity of noninertial frames and the quaplectic group
Stephen G. Low
Newtonian mechanics has the concept of an absolute inertial rest frame. Special relativity eliminates the absolute rest frame but continues to require the absolute inertial frame.…
Markets are Dead, Long Live Markets
Kevin Lai
Researchers have long proposed using economic approaches to resource allocation in computer systems. However, few of these proposals became operational, let alone commercial. Quest…
A Price-Anticipating Resource Allocation Mechanism for Distributed Shared Clusters
Michal Feldman, Kevin Lai, Li Zhang
In this paper we formulate the fixed budget resource allocation game to understand the performance of a distributed market-based resource allocation system. Multiple users decide h…
Perfect Transfer of Arbitrary States in Quantum Spin Networks
Matthias Christandl, Nilanjana Datta, Tony C. Dorlas +3
We propose a class of qubit networks that admit perfect state transfer of any two-dimensional quantum state in a fixed period of time. We further show that such networks can distri…
