Local-global correlations of dynamics on disordered energy landscapes
The stationary distribution of a continuous-time Markov chain generally arises from a complicated global balance of probability fluxes. Nevertheless, empirical evidence shows that the effective potential, defined as the negative logarithm of the stationary distribution, is often highly correlated with a simple local property of a state: the logarithm of its exit rate. To better understand why and how typically this correlation is high, we study reversible reaction kinetics on energy landscapes …

How a Sequoia Capital Partner’s Mamdani Posts Dragged the Firm Into Politics
Sequoia Capital, which backed Nvidia, Google and Apple when they were start-ups, has long stayed above the fray. But one partner’s post about Zohran Mamdani set off a chain reaction.

A Distributed Approach for Agile Supply Chain Decision-Making Based on Network Attributes
In recent years, the frequent occurrence of disruptions has had a negative impact on global supply chains. To stay competitive, enterprises strive to remain agile through the implementation of efficient and effective decision-making strategies in reaction to disruptions. A significant effort has been made to develop these agile disruption mitigation approaches, leveraging both centralized and distributed decision-making strategies. Though trade-offs of centralized and distributed approaches hav…

Quantum-centric simulation of hydrogen abstraction by sample-based quantum diagonalization and entanglement forging
The simulation of electronic systems is an anticipated application for quantum-centric computers, i.e. heterogeneous architectures where classical and quantum processing units operate in concert. An important application is the computation of radical chain reactions, including those responsible for the photodegradation of composite materials used in aerospace engineering. Here, we compute the activation energy and reaction energy for hydrogen abstraction from 2,2-diphenyldipropane, used as a mi…
