À l'instar d'Eolas qui met à jour ses codes régulièrement grâce à la lecture quasi-quotidienne du Journal Officiel, je mets à jour mes connaissances à partir de l'arXiv. Typiquement un résumé d'article ressemble à ça :

The semi-classical approximation to black hole partition functions is not well-defined, because the classical action is unbounded and the first variation of the uncorrected action does not vanish for all variations preserving the boundary conditions. Both problems can be solved by adding a Hamilton-Jacobi counterterm. I show that the same problem and solution arises in quantum mechanics for half-binding potentials.

Gouleyant, non ?

Et ce matin, quelqu'un s'est peu amusé :

"God does not play dice. He flips coins instead." And though for some reason He has denied us quantum bit commitment. And though for some reason He has even denied us strong coin flipping. He has, in His infinite mercy, granted us quantum weak coin flipping so that we too may flip coins.
Instructions for the flipping of coins are contained herein. But be warned! Only those who have mastered Kitaev's formalism relating coin flipping and operator monotone functions may succeed. For those foolhardy enough to even try, a complete tutorial is included.

Je doute sérieusement que le résumé reste en l'état si cet article est publié...
