51Information bottleneck method — The information bottleneck method is a technique introduced by Tishby et al [1] for finding the best tradeoff between accuracy and complexity (compression) when summarizing (e.g. clustering) a random variable X, given a joint probability… …
52Markov decision process — Markov decision processes (MDPs), named after Andrey Markov, provide a mathematical framework for modeling decision making in situations where outcomes are partly random and partly under the control of a decision maker. MDPs are useful for… …
53Quantum finite automata — In quantum computing, quantum finite automata or QFA are a quantum analog of probabilistic automata. They are related to quantum computers in a similar fashion as finite automata are related to Turing machines. Several types of automata may be… …
54chemical bonding — ▪ chemistry Introduction any of the interactions that account for the association of atoms into molecules, ions, crystals, and other stable species that make up the familiar substances of the everyday world. When atoms approach one another …
55Simulated annealing — (SA) is a generic probabilistic meta algorithm for the global optimization problem, namely locating a good approximation to the global optimum of a given function in a large search space. It is often used when the search space is discrete (e.g.,… …
56Zero-phonon line and phonon sideband — The zero phonon line and the phonon sideband jointly constitute the line shape of individual light absorbing and emitting molecules (chromophores) embedded into a transparent solid matrix. When the host matrix contains many chromophores, each… …
57Uniform distribution (continuous) — Uniform Probability density function Using maximum convention Cumulative distribution function …
58Photon — This article is about the elementary particle of light. For other uses, see Photon (disambiguation). Photon Photons emitted in a coherent beam from a laser Composition Elementary particle …
59Detailed balance — The principle of detailed balance is formulated for kinetic systems which are decomposed into elementary processes (collisions, or steps, or elementary reactions): At equilibrium, each elementary process should be equilibrated by its reverse… …
60Landau–Zener formula — The Landau–Zener formula is an analytic solution to the equations of motion governing the transition dynamics of a 2 level quantum mechanical system, with a time dependent Hamiltonian varying such that the energy separation of the two states is a …
