The article “Funding climate projects: our financial model can better illustrate long-term value“, by Dorje Brody, is published today (Tuesday 24 February) in The Conversation (link here). As a mathematician researching in finance, Dorje shows how to use a financial model called “social discounting” to value the long-term benefits of environmental projects far into the […]

The paper “Decoherence from universal tomographic measurements“, co-authored by Dorje Brody and Rishindra Melanathuru, has been published this week in Physical Review Research (open access link here). In the paper, the effect of decoherence is analyzed by studying the evolution of Stratonovich-Weyl quasiprobability distributions on the state space of the system. It is shown that […]
