Collision Resistance of Single-Layer Neural Nets

cs.CR · 2026-06-02 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Any n-qubit QC Hamiltonian sparsifies to Õ(n/ε²) terms preserving all state energies within 1±ε using invariant subspace decomposition and the Alon-Kozma operator inequality.

Revisiting Diameter in Directed Graphs

cs.DS · 2026-06-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Rigorous security proofs for variable-length QKD, phase-error bounding with imperfect detectors, marginal-constrained entropy accumulation, and authentication reductions place practical QKD on firmer mathematical ground.
