Photonic quantum technology requires precise, time-resolved identification of photodetection events. In distributed quantum networks with spatially separated and drifting time references, achieving high precision is particularly challenging. Here we build on recent advances of using single-photons for time transfer and employ and quantify a fast po...

In this article, we consider machine learning algorithms to accurately predict two variables associated with the Q-voter model in complex networks, i.e. (i) the consensus time and (ii) the frequency of opinion changes. Leveraging nine topological measures of the underlying networks, we verify that the clustering coefficient (C) and information cent...
