Quantum-key distribution with spatial multiplexing optical fibers

Encoding information in quantum states is the new era of communication known as quantum communication. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the building block of quantum communication making a distribution of a secret key between two parties. The quantum states can be two-dimensions (qubit) or d-dimensions (qudit) quantum states defined in different degrees of freedom (e.g., […]

Enhancing the Explainability of Temporal Financial Data

Deep Learning has seen great success in recent years in application to high-dimensional data. In the advent of increased computability, the increase in accuracy of Deep Learning has surpassed traditional statistical methods. Consequently, the complexity of Deep Learning methods are not interpretable (black-box); therefore, are often dismissed in high-risk domains such as health care and […]

Recherche sur la durabilité des agrégats recyclés

La recherche portera sur la mise au point d’un béton composé en tout ou partie d’agrégats de béton recyclés. Les agrégats recyclés remplaceront les agrégats grossiers dans la composition des bétons. Des essais sur la durabilité, la résistance au gel-dégel, le retrait, ainsi que la porosité du béton seront effectués sur les bétons avec des […]

Microhémorhéologie

Le sang appartient à une famille des suspensions particulièrement complexe : il s’agit d’une suspension dense de globule rouges très déformables et interagissant entre eux, ils peuvent par exemple s’agréger. Bien qu’étudié depuis les années 70 par les physiologistes, les mécanismes de ses écoulements complexes ne sont toujours pas bien compris. Le but de ce […]

Raffinement d’un modèle biomécanique de la tête pour l’étude des impacts répétés sous-commotionnels

Le cerveau fait partie des structures complexes les plus remarquables et importantes du corps humain. Le maintien de son intégrité est crucial. Insidieusement, dans les sports de contact, le cerveau est exposé à des impacts répétés asymptomatiques dits « sous-commotionnels » associés à des altérations progressives susceptibles de causer des maladies neurodégénératives. Malheureusement, la réponse […]
