• Abstract: Spectral methods are now common in the solution of ordinary differential eigenvalue problems in a wide variety of fields, such as in the computation of black hole quasinormal modes. Most of these spectral codes are based on standard Chebyshev, Fourier, or some other orthogonal basis functions. In this work we highlight the usefulness of a relatively unknown set of non-orthogonal basis functions, known as Bernstein polynomials, and their advantages for handling boundary conditions in ordinary differential eigenvalue problems. We also report on a new user-friendly package, called \texttt{SpectralBP}, that implements Berstein-polynomial-based pseudospectral routines for eigenvalue problems. We demonstrate the functionalities of the package by applying it to a number of model problems in quantum mechanics and to the problem of computing scalar and gravitational quasinormal modes in a Schwarzschild background. We validate our code against some known results and achieve excellent agreement. Compared to continued-fraction or series methods, global approximation methods are particularly well-suited for computing purely imaginary modes such as the algebraically special modes for Schwarzschild gravitational perturbations.

  Nonclassical properties such as squeezing and entanglement serve as crucial resources for quantum information processing. We introduce a unified quantifying: the 'classical-nonclassical polarity', represented by $mathcalP$. For any pure multi-mode Gaussian state, the total classical-nonclassical polarity equals the sum of the mean photon number from single-mode squeezing and two-mode squeezing.

  Learning smooth functions is generally challenging, except in simple cases such as learning linear or kernel models. This work proposes to overcome these obstacles by combining techniques from semi-infinite constrained learning and manifold regularization. We prove that, under mild conditions, this method estimates the Lipschitz constant of the solution, learning a globally smooth solution as a byproduct.
