Journal ArticleDOI

Fast state tomography with optimal error bounds

TL;DR: The main result of this paper equips this point estimator with a rigorous, non-asymptotic confidence region expressed in terms of the trace distance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Metric Nearness Problem

TL;DR: This paper formulates and solves the metric nearness problem: Given a set of pairwise dissimilarities, find a “nearest” set of distances that satisfy the properties of a metric—principally the triangle inequality, and suggests various useful extensions and generalizations to metricNearness.
Journal ArticleDOI

From Steiner Formulas for Cones to Concentration of Intrinsic Volumes

TL;DR: A systematic technique for studying conic intrinsic volumes using methods from probability, based on a general Steiner formula for cones, which leads to new identities and bounds for the intrinsic volumes of a cone, including a near-optimal concentration inequality.
Journal ArticleDOI

A low-order decomposition of turbulent channel flow via resolvent analysis and convex optimization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine resolvent-mode decomposition with techniques from convex optimization to optimally approximate velocity spectra in a turbulent channel and obtain close agreement with DNS-spectra, reducing the wall-normal and temporal resolutions used in the simulation by three orders of magnitude.
Proceedings Article

Sketchy Decisions: Convex Low-Rank Matrix Optimization with Optimal Storage

TL;DR: This paper proposes the first algorithm to offer provable convergence to an optimal point with an optimal memory footprint, and modifies a standard convex optimization method to work on a sketched version of the decision variable, and can recover the solution from this sketch.
