Quantum Portfolios
Sebastian Maurer, Tad Hogg, Bernardo Huberman
Quantum computation holds promise for the solution of many intractable problems. However, since many quantum algorithms are stochastic in nature they can only find the solution of…
Competitive Dynamics of Web Sites
Sebastian M. Maurer, Bernardo A. Huberman
We present a dynamical model of web site growth in order to explore the effects of competition among web sites and to determine how they affect the nature of markets. We show that…
Optimizing Traffic in Virtual and Real Space
Dirk Helbing, Bernardo A. Huberman, Sebastian M. Maurer
We show how optimization methods from economics known as portfolio strategies can be used for minimizing download times in the Internet and travel times in freeway traffic. While f…
Restart Strategies and Internet Congestion
Sebastian M. Maurer, Bernardo A. Huberman
We recently presented a methodology for quantitatively reducing the risk and cost of executing electronic transactions in a bursty network environment such as the Internet. In the…
Coulomb Blockade Fluctuations in Strongly Coupled Quantum Dots
S. M. Maurer, S. R. Patel, C. M. Marcus +2
Quantum fluctuations of Coulomb blockade are investigated as a function of the coupling to reservoirs in semiconductor quantum dots. We use fluctuations in the distance between pea…
Mesoscopic Coulomb Blockade in One-channel Quantum Dots
S. M. Cronenwett, S. M. Maurer, S. R. Patel +3
Signatures of "mesoscopic Coulomb blockade" are reported for quantum dots with one fully transmitting point-contact lead, T1 = 1, T2 << 1. Unlike Coulomb blockade (CB) in weak-tunn…
