• Abstract: The technique coined as NDIM - Negative Dimensional Integration Method by their discoverers, relies on a three-pronged basis: Gaussian integration, series expansion and analytic continuation. The technique has been successfully applied to the calculation of covariant and non covariant Feynman integrals in a generic dimensional regularization space, i.e., D-dimensional space-time for D including the negative domain values. Since the dimensionality is general, we can use specifically for one-dimensional integrals. In this work we show how this technique can be applied to tackle certain improper integrals and give an example of a particular improper integral that appears in quantum mechanical scattering process. Traditionally, improper integrals are ascribed certain values through the limiting approach or as is known, by the Cauchy principal value via residues concept technique. Here we use the NDIM approach to do the calculations and show it works fine for the improper integrals. This novel approach we believe is more straightforward and does not require to handle poles, residues, or difficult closed contours as in the traditional approach.

• Pathwise Differentiation of Worldline Path Integrals [1.1014050587473097]
  We present methods for computing derivatives of worldline-type path integrals of scalar fields to calculate forces, energy curvatures, and torques. In Casimir-Polder-type path integrals, which require derivatives with respect to the source point of the paths, the derivatives can be computed by a simple reweighting of the path integral. We also discuss the computation of Casimir forces, curvatures, and torques between macroscopic bodies.

We show how to apply it to a problem that has recently gained traction in ML: hyperbolic embeddings with a "cheap" and accurate encoding along the hyperbolic vsean scale.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

• Posterior and Computational Uncertainty in Gaussian Processes [52.26904059556759]
  Gaussian processes scale prohibitively with the size of the dataset. Many approximation methods have been developed, which inevitably introduce approximation error. This additional source of uncertainty, due to limited computation, is entirely ignored when using the approximate posterior. We develop a new class of methods that provides consistent estimation of the combined uncertainty arising from both the finite number of data observed and the finite amount of computation expended.
