Hi,<br>
<br>
You could use different random number seeds for the simulations, this
should help in variance reduction. From what I know, there is no other
way in which variance reduction could be achieved. No idea about how
importance sampling could be done in Gate.<br>

Greetings All,<br><br>I just wanted to confirm that there is no variance reduction techniques<br>such as importance sampling implemented in Gate as of today. Is that<br>right?<br>Thanks<br><br><br><br>Mikhail A. Shilov<br>
