Variational quantum algorithm for enhanced continuous variable optical phase sensing by Jens A. H. Nielsen, Mateusz J. Kicinski, Tummas N. Arge, Kannan Vijayadharan, Jonathan Foldager, Johannes Borregaard, Johannes Jakob Meyer, Jonas S. Neergaard-Nielsen, Tobias Gehring, Ulrik L. Andersen

“…We investigate the ability of the algorithm to identify the optimal metrology process, including the optimization of the probe state and measurement strategy for small-angle optical phase sensing. Two different optimization strategies are employed, the first being a gradient descent optimizer using Gaussian parameter shift rules to estimate the gradient of the cost function directly from the measurements. …”

On Optimally Selecting Candidate Detectors with High Predicted Radio Signals from Energetic Cosmic Ray-Induced Extensive Air Showers by Tudor Alexandru Calafeteanu, Paula Gina Isar, Emil Ioan Slușanschi

“…While effective, this approach often includes many noisy antennas at high zenith angles, reducing computational efficiency. In this paper, we introduce an optimal method for selecting candidate detectors with high predicted signal-to-noise ratio for proton and iron primary cosmic rays, replacing the constant scaling factor with a function of the zenith angle. …”
