Notes

C++

• Try-catch makes the code tidy and readable, without try-catch the code becomes ugly as you need to check the result and handle exceptions after each function call. However, it is performed in run-time and have overhead each time a function is called?

Firefox

• Gmail Manager: A Gmail notifier which allows you to receive new mail notifications.

Do not feed bug

Interactions

• Signals
• File system
• Out of memory (heap)

Timing, race conditions, program counter and execution

• Add/remove code usually changes the execution speed of the program. Which could affects the timing between different tasks, such as timeout mechanism or time restrictions in real-time systems. In the extreme case, the execution could be blocked and causes starvations/deadlocks. Add/remove code actually affects the program counter.

• It should be helpful to prevent deadlock by checking each statement one by one in the locked area and make sure each one will not block the execution.

NFS

##  Sharing folder

##  Modify '/etc/exports', for example:
##
##      /nfstmp *(rw,sync)

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

Emacs

• Ask community if it's a bug: Emacs seems to hang when some of SCIM are killed or closed.

;;  You can also use `M-x customize-variable <RET> x-select-enable-clipboard <RET>' to change the variable by Emacs UI.
(setq-default x-select-enable-clipboard t)

;;(defun x-clipboard-edit-key()
;;  (global-set-key [(shift delete)] 'clipboard-kill-region)
;;  (global-set-key [(control insert)] 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
;;  (global-set-key [(shift insert)] 'x-clipboard-yank))

Emacs for MS Windows:
<S-delete> runs the command kill-region
<C-insert> runs the command kill-ring-save
<S-insert> runs the command yank

Bra-ket notation

Column vector & row vector

"The scalar product or action is written as

$\langle \phi {\mid }\psi \rangle .$

The right part is called the ket /kɛt/; it is a vector, typically represented as a column vector, and written $|\psi \rangle .$

The left part is called the bra, /brɑː/; it is the Hermitian conjugate of the ket with the same label, typically represented as a row vector, and written $\langle \phi |.$" - Bra–ket notation

Quantum gate - Example of operation parallelism

$p_{00}:\,\,|00\rangle \mapsto |00\rangle$
$p_{01}:\,\,|01\rangle \mapsto |01\rangle$
$p_{10}:\,\,|10\rangle \mapsto |11\rangle$
$p_{11}:\,\,|11\rangle \mapsto |10\rangle$

The meaning of notation above:

For example, state $|01\rangle$ means that the first qubit is 0 and the second qubit is 1. If, for example, $p_{01}=0.7$, it means that state $|01\rangle$ appears with probability 0.7 after measurements.

The above map is the result of a series of quntum program executions which applying CNOT gate on the system. But you can not know the map beforehand, so how to know the value of the second qubit after applying the quantum gate operation above? Here is what you may do:

You should be able to encode the system so that each state appears with the probability according to your design. Suppose that you encode the system so that the probability distribution is

$p_{00}=0.4$

$p_{01}=0.3$

$p_{10}=0.2$

$p_{11}=0.1$

(note that $p_{00}+p_{01}+p_{10}+p_{11}=1$)

Suppose that you want to know the second qubit's value of state $|10\rangle$ after the quantum operation. Because the corresponding probability you have encoded is $p_{10}=0.2$, you should be able to find one of 4 after-operation states $|00\rangle$, $|01\rangle$, $|10\rangle$ and $|11\rangle$ appears with probability 0.2 as you repeat the quantum program over and over several times. And you will finally realize that state $|11\rangle$ appears with probability 0.2 after you repeat enough the quantum program, so it means the state transition is from $|10\rangle$ to $|11\rangle$ and therefore the second qubit's value changes from 0 to 1 after the quantum operation.

Applying a 2-qubit CNOT gate to 3 qubits

${\mbox{CNOT}}=\left({\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&0&0\\0&1&0&0\\0&0&0&1\\0&0&1&0\end{array}}\right)$

$I\otimes {\mbox{CNOT}}=\left({\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}}\right)\otimes \left({\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&0&0\\0&1&0&0\\0&0&0&1\\0&0&1&0\end{array}}\right)=\left({\begin{array}{cccccccc}1&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\\0&1&0&0&0&0&0&0\\0&0&0&1&0&0&0&0\\0&0&1&0&0&0&0&0\\0&0&0&0&1&0&0&0\\0&0&0&0&0&1&0&0\\0&0&0&0&0&0&0&1\\0&0&0&0&0&0&1&0\end{array}}\right)$

$|\psi \rangle =\left({\begin{array}{c}a\\b\\c\\d\\e\\f\\g\\h\end{array}}\right)$

$(I\otimes {\mbox{CNOT}})|\psi \rangle =\left({\begin{array}{cccccccc}1&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\\0&1&0&0&0&0&0&0\\0&0&0&1&0&0&0&0\\0&0&1&0&0&0&0&0\\0&0&0&0&1&0&0&0\\0&0&0&0&0&1&0&0\\0&0&0&0&0&0&0&1\\0&0&0&0&0&0&1&0\end{array}}\right)\left({\begin{array}{c}a\\b\\c\\d\\e\\f\\g\\h\end{array}}\right)=\left({\begin{array}{c}a\\b\\d\\c\\e\\f\\h\\g\end{array}}\right)\,\,\,{\begin{array}{c}{\text{qubits 000}}\\{\text{qubits 001}}\\{\text{qubits 010}}\\{\text{qubits 011}}\\{\text{qubits 100}}\\{\text{qubits 101}}\\{\text{qubits 110}}\\{\text{qubits 111}}\end{array}}$

Reinforcement learning

1. "If the discount factor meets or exceeds 1, the $Q$ values may diverge." - State–action–reward–state–action#Discount_factor_(gamma)

Deterministic and simplified Q functions of reinforcement learning

Simplify by letting $\alpha =\gamma =1$. The result should be more close to dynamic programming.

Q-learning

$Q(s_{t},a_{t})\leftarrow (1-\alpha )\cdot \underbrace {Q(s_{t},a_{t})} _{\rm {old~value}}+\underbrace {\alpha } _{\rm {learning~rate}}\cdot \overbrace {{\bigg (}\underbrace {r_{t}} _{\rm {reward}}+\underbrace {\gamma } _{\rm {discount~factor}}\cdot \underbrace {\max _{a}Q(s_{t+1},a)} _{\rm {estimate~of~optimal~future~value}}{\bigg )}} ^{\rm {learned~value}}$

$Q(s_{t},a_{t})\leftarrow (1-\alpha )\cdot Q(s_{t},a_{t})+\alpha \cdot \overbrace {{\bigg (}r_{t}+\gamma \cdot \max _{a}Q(s_{t+1},a){\bigg )}} ^{\rm {learned~value}}$

$Q(s_{t},a_{t})\leftarrow (1-\alpha )\cdot Q(s_{t},a_{t})+\alpha \cdot {\bigg (}r_{t}+\gamma \cdot \max _{a}Q(s_{t+1},a){\bigg )}$

$Q(s_{t},a_{t})\leftarrow r_{t}+\max _{a}Q(s_{t+1},a)$

SARSA

$Q(s_{t},a_{t})\leftarrow Q(s_{t},a_{t})+\alpha [r_{t}+\gamma Q(s_{t+1},a_{t+1})-Q(s_{t},a_{t})]$

$Q(s_{t},a_{t})\leftarrow Q(s_{t},a_{t})+[r_{t}+\gamma Q(s_{t+1},a_{t+1})-Q(s_{t},a_{t})]$

$Q(s_{t},a_{t})\leftarrow Q(s_{t},a_{t})+r_{t}+\gamma Q(s_{t+1},a_{t+1})-Q(s_{t},a_{t})$

$Q(s_{t},a_{t})\leftarrow r_{t}+Q(s_{t+1},a_{t+1})$
