MAXIMAL RANDOMNESS FROM PARTIALLY ENTANGLED STATES

Maximal randomness from partially entangled states

We investigate how much randomness can be extracted from a generic partially entangled pure state of two qubits in a device-independent setting, where a Bell test is used to certify the correct functioning of the apparatus.For any such state, we first show that two bits of randomness are always attainable both if projective measurements are used to

Sampling methods for insect pests in wheat grains stored in bulk

Abstract The objective of this work was to compare methods of sampling insect pests in wheat PS4 (Triticum aestivum) grains stored in bulk.The data were collected in three agricultural seasons (2012, 2016, and 2020), 90 days after phosphine fumigation, in 10 replicates.Three treatments were evaluated: pitfall traps, manual probe, and pneumatic Bass
