Earlier sources: Science
Science investigates the natural world through observation, experiments, and mathematical models. Explore papers and developments in biology, medicine, materials, neuroscience, physics, climate, and mathematics; a reported finding is not necessarily established consensus.
SYMTRI organizes observations from public sources into a living map. Connections reflect shared subject matter; they do not establish causation or endorse a source.
Open in the map ↗1656 classified signals in the fourteen-day window. Recent momentum: steady. These counts include signals awaiting readable evidence.
Earlier sources
Up to ten sources with readable evidence, ordered by their feed timestamp. These archive sources can be older than the live fourteen-day window. This list is a sample, not a measure of total activity. Dates distinguish paper publication, repository creation, model/dataset activity, Hacker News posts, and KEV catalog additions. “First archived” records when SYMTRI first stored the signal.

On The Simplest Quantum-Secure Block Cipher ↗
Pseudorandom permutations are ubiquitous in theoretical and applied cryptography. PRPs that offer security even against adversaries making quantum queries are of increasing interest, and used in applications ranging from constructing pseudorandom unitaries to separating SZK from BQP. A successful framework for constructing classically-secure PRPs is the key-alternating Even-Mansour approach, which interleaves applications of public permutations with additions of round keys. The single-round construction is already classically secure in the ideal permutation model (IPM), with added rounds offer…

Efficient Calculation of Equilibrium Correlation Functions ↗
A majority of measurable dynamic quantities of a physical system is described as an equilibrium correlation function of the form $G_{AB}(t-t') = \left $, where $t'$ represents the impact time and $t$ represents the response time. Conventional quantum algorithms to compute such quantities via Hamiltonian simulation such as the Hadamard test, variational methods, or linear-response-based algorithms share one feature in common: each time point $t-t'$ is calculated by a different quantum circuit, leading to at least $O(N_t)$ total shots, and at least $O(N_t^2)$ total quantum gates. Here, we provid…

Resonances control when multiterminal Josephson currents reduce to two-terminal couplings ↗
Multiterminal Josephson junctions, in which one weak link couples three or more superconductors, are studied as hosts of topological Andreev bands, multi-pair supercurrents and tunable circuit elements. Their currents are modeled both as pairwise networks of two-terminal couplings and through genuinely multiterminal processes such as quartets. We ask how accurate the pairwise description is and what controls its error. In a microscopic scattering model of planar junctions, we compare exact currents with the best pairwise approximation, which allows arbitrary nonsinusoidal couplings. In ensembl…

Gibbs Sampling in the Shattered Phase by Decoded Quantum Interferometry ↗
We apply Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI) to sample from the Gibbs measures of classical Ising spin Hamiltonians. We show that this Gibbs sampling problem reduces to a quantum decoding problem, and the temperature achievable by DQI is determined by the performance of decoding algorithms. We then focus on the task of Gibbs sampling for classical Ising $k$-spin glasses (or Max-$k$-XORSAT) on random Erdős-Rényi hypergraphs with average degree $D\ge k$. In a temperature range beginning asymptotically at the predicted dynamical phase transition, $β_{\rm dyn}(k,D) = \sqrt{(2\ln k)/D}\times [1+o_…

Quantum de Finetti theorems for states and channels in any distance measure ↗
Standard finite quantum de Finetti theorems approximate the $k$-system marginals of permutation-invariant states of $n$-systems by mixtures of independent and identically distributed (iid) states, usually in trace distance. We prove both standard and Renner's exponential de Finetti theorems in the stronger form of operator inequalities, implying bounds in every Schatten norm and for every quantum Rényi divergence satisfying data processing. In the standard case, for fixed local dimension, our $k/n$ error bound in max-relative entropy improves on the previously best known $k^2/n$ scaling, even…

The Single-Copy Quantum Bandit Is Classical: An Exact Spectral Collapse ↗
We study multi-armed bandits whose arms supply unknown quantum states and whose mean rewards are defined by a known effect $F$. Each fresh copy may be measured by an arbitrary, adaptively chosen POVM. We prove an exact collapse: the measured relative entropy from an arm state to its confusing reward half-space equals the classical Burnetas-Katehakis functional of $F$'s spectral statistics, and the spectral measurement of $F$ together with an explicit least-favorable state, built from the derivative of the matrix logarithm, forms a saddle point of the underlying measurement game. Consequently,…

Local Relaxation Hierarchies for Quantum Ground State Energies: Convergence Guarantees and Message Passing Algorithms ↗
Convex relaxation hierarchies provide lower bounds to the ground state energy of quantum many-body systems that can be computed in polynomial time on a classical computer, at any fixed hierarchy level. However, scaling these methods to large systems and accurate approximations remains challenging due to the computational cost of traditional solvers and the scarcity of efficiency guarantees. In this work, we develop local relaxation hierarchies and efficient, highly parallelisable message passing algorithms for estimating the relaxed ground state energies. We show that the first level of the hi…

A Noise Operator Approach to Quantum Query Complexity and Time-Space Tradeoff Lower Bounds ↗
Time and space (memory) are two of the most important measures of cost in computation, even more so for quantum computation. In quantum computation our tools for proving unconditional tradeoffs between time and space are surprisingly limited. The first quantum time-space tradeoff lower bounds were proven for sorting by Klauck, Špalek and de Wolf. Unfortunately, their method is limited to proving output-oblivious lower bounds (i.e. the lower bounds only apply to algorithms with a non-adaptive output schedule) and other methods have yielded nothing beyond output-oblivious lower bounds for sortin…

Tight Universal Bounds on Quantum Data Hiding with Multipartite Werner States ↗
Quantum data hiding concerns pairs of states which are highly distinguishable with global measurements, yet nearly indistinguishable when restricted to local operations and classical communication. More than two decades after Eggeling and Werner introduced a multipartite hiding scheme based on Werner states, the optimal dependence of its uniform security guarantee on the number of parties and local dimension remained unknown. We resolve this problem by showing that the distinguishing bias of any pair of $n$-qudit Werner states is $O(n^2/d)$ under measurements whose effects remain positive unde…

Fast Quantum Algorithms for Learning Linear Threshold Functions ↗
Linear threshold functions are $f_{w,θ}(x)=\text{sign}(\langle x,w \rangle -θ)$, where the weight vector $w\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is a unit vector, $θ\in\mathbb R$ is a threshold, and typically $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ or $x\in\{-1,1\}^n$. When $θ=0$, the LTF is called homogeneous, and we write $f_w:=f_{w,0}$. Such functions are among the most important objects in machine learning, since they serve to linearly discriminate positive and negative examples. We give three positive results about learning LTFs: 1. Suppose we can make real-domain queries, meaning we can compute $f_{w,θ}(x)$ at any $x\in\mathbb{R…

How to assess evidence about Science
Check each original source for its methods, release status, limitations, and supporting data. A repository announcement, a preprint, and a published study provide different kinds of evidence. SYMTRI’s subject classification helps discovery; it does not independently validate the source’s claims.
