Introduction
The state of a physical system is the mathematical description of our knowledge of it, and provides information on its future and past. A state...

2 Quantum Tomographic Methods
The state of a physical system is the mathematical object that provides a complete information on the system. The knowledge of the state is...

9 Quantum Operations on Qubitsand Their Characterization
Information encoded in quantum system has to obey rules of quantum physics which impose strict bounds on state estimation and on possible...
-
Extremal Properties of Random Structures
The extremal characteristics of random structures, including trees, graphs, and networks, are discussed. A statistical physics approach is employed...

On the Analysis of Backtrack Proceduresfor the Colouring of Random Graphs
Backtrack search algorithms are procedures capable of deciding whether a decision problem has a solution or not through a sequence of trials and...

Attacks and Cascades in Complex Networks
This paper reviews two problems in the security of complex networks: cascades of overload failures on nodes and range-based attacks on links....
-
Tomography and Stability of Complex Networks
We study the structure of generalized random graphs with a given degree distribution P(k), and review studies on their behavior under both random...
-
Topology, Hierarchy, and Correlations in Internet Graphs
We present a statistical analysis of different metrics characterizing the topological properties of Internet maps, collected at two different...

The Small World Phenomenonin Hybrid Power Law Graphs
The small world phenomenon, that consistently occurs in numerous existing networks, refers to two similar but different properties — small average...

Critical Phenomena in a Small World
We consider the behavior of various systems on a small-world network near a critical point. Our starting point is a different, nonrandom system with...

Who Is the Best Connected Scientist?A Study of Scientific Coauthorship Networks
Using data from computer databases of scientific papers in physics, biomedical research, and computer science, we have constructed networks of...
-
Scholarly Information Network
I review the background and some recent trends of a particular scholarly information network, ar**v.org, and discuss some of its implications for new...
-
Spectral Analysis of Random Networks
We review a general approach that describes the spectra of eigenvalues for random graphs with a local tree-like structure. The exact equations to the...

Theoretical Neuroanatomy:Analyzing the Structure, Dynamics,and Function of Neuronal Networks
The mammalian brain is an extraordinary object: its networks give rise to our conscious experiences as well as to the generation of adaptive behavior...
-
Information Theory of Complex Networks: On Evolution and Architectural Constraints
Complex networks are characterized by highly heterogeneous distributions of links, often pervading the presence of key properties such as robustness...
