Fixed-order postselected CHSH reference acquisition for parity-constrained spatial-mode qubits on a commercial cloud photonic processor

Emma Tully, Jonathan Washburn, Megan Simons

We report a fixed-order Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) acquisition and reporting protocol for two encoded photonic qubits on Quandela's commercial, cloud-accessible Belenos proc…

Finite-Resolution Identifiability and Measurement Design for Molecular Conformer Spectroscopy

Megan Simons, Jonathan Washburn

Conformer assignment is meaningful only when the measurement can distinguish the candidate structures. We formulate conformer spectroscopy as a measurement-model-dependent identifi…

Auditing Haldane Consistency in Reversible Enzyme Kinetics: A Curated Two-Sided Backbone and a Labeled Fold-Error Benchmark

Megan Simons, Jonathan Washburn

Reversible enzyme kinetic constants can be audited through the Haldane relation: the apparent equilibrium constant implied by the rate law should match biochemical thermodynamics u…

Characterization of nested Walsh parity-check filters in a single-photon eight-mode register on a cloud photonic processor

Emma Tully, Jonathan Washburn, Megan Simons

We characterize two nested Walsh parity-check filters implemented on Quandela's Belenos cloud photonic processor in a single-photon eight-mode spatial register. The modes are index…

A Finite-Lattice Model from a Reciprocal Cost Action: Spectral and Reflection-Positivity Properties

Jonathan Washburn, Megan Simons

We study the finite-lattice statistical-mechanical model whose nearest-neighbor bond potential is the reciprocal cost , selected by the d'Alemb…

A Finite-State Gibbs Construction from a Recognition Cost

Megan Simons, Jonathan Washburn

On a finite outcome space, the canonical Gibbs distribution is usually obtained by maximizing Shannon entropy at fixed mean of an externally supplied energy functional. This paper…
