  • Domenico Siracusa

30 January 2020

We describe two mixed-integer linear programming formulations, one a faster version of a previous proposal, the other a slower but better performing new model, for the design of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) sub-networks dimensioned to secure existi...

Information Entropy Approach for a Disorderless One-Dimensional Lattice

  • Luis Arturo Juárez-Villegas and
  • Moisés Martínez-Mares

29 January 2020

Dimensionless conductance through a disorderless lattice is studied using an alternative approach. Usually, the conductance of an ordered lattice is studied at a fixed size, either finite or infinite if the crystalline limit is reached. Here, we prop...
