Maximal visualization-enhancement of latent fingermarks on polymer banknotes using columnar thin films
Muhammad Faryad, Akhlesh Lakhtakia
Polymer banknotes are being increasingly adopted to replace older banknotes. Since banknotes are forensically important substrates for fingermark detection and identification, we p…
Simulation and analysis of quantum phase estimation algorithm in the presence of incoherent quantum noise channels
Muhammad Faizan, Muhammad Faryad
The quantum phase estimation (QPE) is one of the fundamental algorithms based on the quantum Fourier transform. It has applications in order-finding, factoring, and finding the eig…
