Implementing Credit Risk Analysis with Quantum Singular Value Transformation
The analysis of credit risk is crucial for the efficient operation of financial institutions. Quantum Amplitude Estimation (QAE) offers the potential for a quadratic speed-up over classical methods used to estimate metrics such as Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR). However, numerous limitations remain in efficiently scaling the implementation of quantum circuits that solve these estimation problems. One of the main challenges is the use of costly and restrictive arithmeti…

Softness and Hydrodynamic Interactions Regulate Lipoprotein Transport in Crowded Yolk Environments
Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) serve as nutrient reservoirs in egg yolk for embryonic development and as promising drug carriers. Both roles critically depend on their mobility in densely crowded biological environments. Under these crowded conditions, diffusion is hindered by transient confinement within dynamic cages formed by neighboring particles, driven by solvent-mediated hydrodynamic interactions and memory effects -- phenomena that have remained challenging to characterize computationa…

While skipping through the opening credits of this anime episode, l thought, wait, I don’t remember that shot…
Sure enough, this series has (mildly) evolving credits.
I only noticed because I happen to be on an airplane watching a downloaded episode, which for some reason disables the Crunchyroll app’s “skip credits” button, so I had to skip manually.
That’s the problem with evolving credits: if you’re not paying attention you won’t notice they’ve changed!
