Symbols and notation

Symbols can mean different things in different articles. Definitions below are shown only when an equation guide or its article provides one; otherwise the entry identifies where to read the equation in context.

1506 symbols.

r~i\tilde r_i

\tilde r_i

1 equation

No site-wide meaning is inferred for this symbol.

ε\varepsilon

\varepsilon

21 equations

Symbol varepsilon: a number a data controller chooses and can disclose, and a smaller ε\varepsilon buys a stronger guarantee at the cost of more injected noise and correspondingly lower utility in the resulting synthetic data or model [ 9 ].

εconfig\varepsilon_{\mathrm{config}}

\varepsilon_{\mathrm{config}}

2 equations

Symbol varepsilon_config: noise contributed by harness, prompt, effort level, and grading choices, which can push the observed score in either direction.

εdisc\varepsilon_{\text{disc}}

\varepsilon_{disc}

1 equation

No site-wide meaning is inferred for this symbol.

εi,b\varepsilon_{i,b}

\varepsilon_{i,b}

2 equations

Symbol varepsilon_i,b: sampling and decoding noise.

εmodel\varepsilon_{\text{model}}

\varepsilon_{model}

1 equation

No site-wide meaning is inferred for this symbol.

εox\varepsilon_{\text{ox}}

\varepsilon_{ox}

2 equations

Symbol varepsilon_ox: the liner’s permittivity.

εround\varepsilon_{\text{round}}

\varepsilon_{round}

1 equation

No site-wide meaning is inferred for this symbol.

φ\varphi

\varphi

1 equation

No site-wide meaning is inferred for this symbol.

φent\varphi_{\text{ent}}

\varphi_{ent}

5 equations

Entangling phase difference: The phase combination left after local phases of A and B cancel. It compares matching branch pairs (LL and RR) with crossed pairs (LR and RL). In an ideal balanced, pure two-branch state, its value modulo 2π determines the generated two-qubit entanglement.

φij\varphi_{ij}

\varphi_{ij}

1 equation

Phase of branch pair i,j: The dimensionless phase angle, in radians, acquired by the joint path in which mass A uses branch i and mass B uses branch j. Its individual value depends on phase convention; differences between branch-pair phases can affect interference and entanglement.

φLL\varphi_{LL}

\varphi_{LL}

1 equation

Both masses on L: The gravitational phase when A takes its L branch and B takes its L branch. It enters with a plus sign in the invariant combination.

φLR\varphi_{LR}

\varphi_{LR}

1 equation

A on L, B on R: The phase of the crossed branch pair. It is subtracted so phases belonging only to one local branch cancel out.

φRL\varphi_{RL}

\varphi_{RL}

1 equation

A on R, B on L: The phase of the other crossed branch pair. It is also subtracted in the local-phase-invariant combination.

φRR\varphi_{RR}

\varphi_{RR}

1 equation

Both masses on R: The gravitational phase when A takes its R branch and B takes its R branch. It also enters with a plus sign.
