- Abstract: Receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) are a well-established
representation of the tradeoff between detection and false alarm probabilities
in classical binary hypothesis testing. We use classical ROCs as motivation for
two types of operating characteristics for binary hypothesis testing in quantum
systems -- decision operating characteristics (QDOCs) and measurement operating
characteristics (QMOCs). Both are described in the context of a framework we
propose that encompasses the typical formulations of binary hypothesis testing
in both the classical and quantum scenarios. We interpret Helstrom's well-known
result regarding discrimination between two quantum density operators with
minimum probability of error in this framework. We also present a
generalization of previous results regarding the correspondence between
classical Parseval frames and quantum measurements. The derivation naturally
leads to a constructive procedure for generating many different measurements
besides Helstrom's optimal measurement, some standard and others non-standard,
that achieve minimum probability of error.

We propose a novel approach that utilizes the inductive Venn--Abers predictor (IVAP) to calibrate the probabilities associated with the output tokens corresponding to the binary labels.

Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) have recently gained a lot of attention in machine learning.
theoretical aspects, e.g., identifiability and properties of statistical estimation are still obscure.
This paper derives a sufficient condition for the identifiability of homogeneous linear ODE systems from a sequence of equally-spaced error-free observations sampled from a single trajectory.

We study the classical simulatability of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states in combination with arbitrary displacements, a large set of symplectic operations and homodyne measurements.
For these types of circuits, neither continuous-variable theorems based on the non-negativity of quasi-probability distributions nor discrete-variable theorems can be employed to assess the simulatability.
