  • the tensor Network Theory library
    Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2017
    Co-Authors: S Alassam, S R Clark, Dieter Jaksch
    Abstract:

    In this technical paper we introduce the tensor Network Theory (TNT) library - an open-source software project aimed at providing a platform for rapidly developing robust, easy to use and highly optimised code for TNT calculations. The objectives of this paper are (i) to give an overview of the structure of TNT library, and (ii) to help scientists decide whether to use the TNT library in their research. We show how to employ the TNT routines by giving examples of ground-state and dynamical calculations of one-dimensional bosonic lattice system. We also discuss different options for gaining access to the software available at www.tensorNetworkTheory.org.

  • Testing Policy Network Theory
    Policy Networks and Policy Change, 2009
    Co-Authors: Hugh Compston
    Abstract:

    The aim of this book is not just to use policy Network Theory to derive propositions about the future direction of public policy, but also to test them. But how can you test propositions about the future of public policy? The aim of this chapter is to show that this can be done using evidence about recent policy trends. The first section begins by outlining the main features of the procedure that is to be used in the next six chapters to test hypotheses based on propositions generated by using policy Network Theory to derive the implications for the future of public policy of major long-term technological, economic, environmental and social trends, or king trends. By ‘public policy’ is meant policy instruments (regulation, taxes, spending and so on) and their settings as expressed in laws, regulations and other authoritative state decisions. The chapter then goes on to explain why the scope of testing had to be restricted in a number of ways, how the test results were evaluated, and why all hypotheses need to pass these tests if any of the policy implications of policy Network Theory are to be accepted as giving us a better idea of the future of public policy than we have at present. The second section identifies three methodological issues that confront this type of analysis and sets out how they are dealt with. These are the problems of overdetermination, endogeneity and omitted variables.

  • Policy Network Theory as a Theory of Policy Change
    Policy Networks and Policy Change, 2009
    Co-Authors: Hugh Compston
    Abstract:

    So far we have looked at the main features of policy Network Theory defined in terms of resource exchange over public policy among interdependent actors, paying particular attention to the nature of the resources that are exchanged. The next step is to develop this Theory into a full-fledged Theory of policy change. Some analysts consider that policy Network Theory is much better at explaining policy stability than policy change (see, for example, Thatcher, 1998, p. 394; Richardson, 2000, p. 1007), or even that ‘the concept of policy Networks does not provide an explanation of policy change’ (Marsh and Rhodes, 1992, p. 261), but these views are mistaken.

  • Interdisciplinary and physics challenges of Network Theory
    EPL, 2015
    Co-Authors: Ginestra Bianconi
    Abstract:

    Network Theory has unveiled the underlying structure of complex systems such as the Internet or the biological Networks in the cell. It has identified universal properties of complex Networks, and the interplay between their structure and dynamics. After almost twenty years of the field, new challenges lie ahead. These challenges concern the multilayer structure of most of the Networks, the formulation of a Network geometry and topology, and the development of a quantum Theory of Networks. Making progress on these aspects of Network Theory can open new venues to address interdisciplinary and physics challenges including progress on brain dynamics, new insights into quantum technologies, and quantum gravity.
