One of the most important problems facing any distributed application over a heterogeneous network is the protection of private
sensitive information in local terminals. A subfield of cryptography called secure multiparty computation (SMC) is the study
of such distributed computation protocols that allow distrusted parties to perform joint computation without...
Limited bandwidth and high packet loss rate pose a serious challenge for video streaming applications over wireless networks. Even when packet loss is not present, the bandwidth fluctuation as a result of an arbitrary number of active flows in an IEEE 802.11 network, can significantly degrade the video quality. This...
It is reported that the axial mode separation of a semiconductor
laser can be computed from the reflectance spectrum of a narrow
spectral range near the lasing frequency. The Kramers-Kronig dispersion
relation is used in this computation.
GaAs semiconductor laser is taken as an example. The computed
values of the...
In recent years quantum random walks have garnered much interest among quantum information researchers. Part of the reason is the prospect that many hard problems can be solved efficiently by employing algorithms based on quantum random walks, in the same way that classical random walks have played a central role...
Developments in smart home technology and the Internet of Things have significantly increased the demand for high-speed indoor wireless links. Although the majority of the research conducted in this area is still focused on the efficient usage of radio frequency (RF) spectrum, free-space optical (FSO) networks have also been explored...
