Space-filling designs such as Latin hypercube designs (LHDs) are widely used in computer experiments. However, finding an optimal LHD with good space-filling properties is computationally cumbersome.

Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a popular method for evaluating the expectation of functions in computer experiments. However when the expectation of interest is taken with respect to a nonuniform ...

Despite the hype and hoopla surrounding the burgeoning field of quantum computing, the technology is still in its infancy. Just a few years ago, researchers were making headlines with rudimentary ...
