Personal familiarity enhances sensitivity to horizontal structure during processing of face identity

Mattew Pachai

What makes identification of familiar faces seemingly effortless? Recent studies using unfamiliar face stimuli suggest that selective processing of information conveyed by horizontally oriented spatial frequency components supports accurate performance in ...

Accurate Angular Velocity Estimation with an Event Camera

Davide Scaramuzza

We present an algorithm to estimate the rotational motion of an event camera. In contrast to traditional cameras, which produce images at a fixed rate, event cameras have independent pixels that respond asynchronously to brightness changes, with microsecon ...

The Disclosure Power of Shared Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Julien Michel Stainer, Peva François Blanchard

Shared objects are the means by which processes gather and exchange information about the state of a distributed system. Objects that disclose more information about the system are therefore more desirable. In this paper, we propose the schedule reconstruc ...

Information-theoretic limitations on approximate quantum cloning and broadcasting

Marius Christopher Lemm

We prove quantitative limitations on any approximate simultaneous cloning or broadcasting of mixed states. The results are based on information-theoretic (entropic) considerations and generalize the well-known no-cloning and no-broadcasting theorems. We al ...
