If, for example, you accidentally use discrete data for a tool that requires continuous data, you can draw incorrect ...

Discrete distributions contrast with continuous distributions, where outcomes can fall anywhere on a continuum. Common examples of discrete distributions include the binomial, Poisson, and ...

A random variable is one whose value is unknown or a function that assigns values to each of an experiment’s outcomes. A random variable can be discrete or continuous.

Research in quantum information processing has followed two different directions: the use of discrete variables (qubits) and that of high-dimensional, continuous-variable Gaussian states (coherent ...

If this were the case, our notions of a continuous Universe would only be an illusion. Particles instead would jump from one discrete location to the next, perhaps in discrete chunks of time as well.

Is our consciousness continuous, or does it occur in discrete chunks? At first glance, this may seem like a strange question. It seems, to us, that our lives are like a movie, where we are ...

Quantum annealing (QA) can be competitive to classical algorithms in optimizing continuous-variable functions when running on appropriate hardware, show researchers from Tokyo Tech. By comparing ...
