Extensive composable entropy for the analysis of cosmological data by Constantino Tsallis, Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen

“…Still, its intriguing area dependence points out the relevance of considering the form W(N)∼μNγ(μ>1;γ>0), W and N respectively being the total number of microscopic possibilities and the number of components; γ=1 corresponds to standard Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. For this W(N) asymptotic behavior, we make use of the group-theoretic entropic functional Sα,γ=k[ln⁡Σi=1Wpiα1−α]1γ(α∈R;S1,1=SBG≡−k∑i=1Wpiln⁡pi), first derived by P. …”

Scalable temporal multiplexing of telecom photons via thin-film lithium niobate photonics by Çağın Ekici, Yonghe Yu, Jeremy C. Adcock, Alif Laila Muthali, Mujtaba Zahidy, Heyun Tan, Zhongjin Lin, Hao Li, Leif K. Oxenløwe, Xinlun Cai, Yunhong Ding

“…Abstract Efficient single-photon generation remains a big challenge in quantum photonics. A promising approach to overcome this challenge is to employ active multiplexing—repeating a nondeterministic photon pair generation process across orthogonal degrees of freedom and exploiting heralding to actively route the heralded photon to the desired single output mode via feedforward. …”
