To better monitor and control distribution grids, the exact knowledge of system topology parameters is a fundamental requirement. However, information usually incomplete due to limited sensors in grid. Therefore, estimating using partial data critical topic for systems. Due high nonlinearity unobservable quantities noises, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are widely utilized accurate estimation. Whi...

The concept of quantum-secure readout of Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) has recently been realized experimentally in an optical PUF system. We analyze the security of this system under the strongest type of classical attack: the challenge estimation attack. The adversary performs a measurement on the challenge quantum state in order to learn as much about it as he can. Using this knowledg...

We consider a variant of the game of Cops and Robbers, called Lazy Cops and Robbers, where at most one cop can move in any round. We investigate the analogue of the cop number for this game, which we call the lazy cop number. Lazy Cops and Robbers was recently introduced by Offner and Ojakian, who provided asymptotic upper and lower bounds on the lazy cop number of the hypercube. By coupling th...
