Evaluating Security Properties in the Execution of Quantum Circuits
Quantum computing is a disruptive technology that is expected to offer significant advantages in many critical fields (e.g. drug discovery and cryptography). The security of information processed by such machines is therefore paramount. Currently, modest Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices are available. The goal of this work is to identify a practical, heuristic methodology to evaluate security properties, such as secrecy and integrity, while using quantum processors owned by poten…

Are Crypto Ecosystems (De)centralizing? A Framework for Longitudinal Analysis
Blockchain technology relies on decentralization to resist faults and attacks while operating without trusted intermediaries. Although industry experts have touted decentralization as central to their promise and disruptive potential, it is still unclear whether the crypto ecosystems built around blockchains are becoming more or less decentralized over time. As crypto plays an increasing role in facilitating economic transactions and peer-to-peer interactions, measuring their decentralization b…

Wave-mixing cathodoluminescence microscopy of low-frequency excitations
Nonlinear optical phenomena such as parametric amplification and frequency conversion are typically driven by external optical fields. Free electrons can also act as electromagnetic sources, offering unmatched spatial precision. Combining optical and electron-induced fields via the nonlinear response of material structures therefore holds potential for revealing new physical phenomena and enabling disruptive applications. Here, we theoretically investigate wave mixing between external light and…

More quotable quotes from Krugman:
❝Market pricing almost never takes into account the possibility of huge, disruptive events, even when the strong possibility of such events should be obvious. The usual pattern, instead, is one of market complacency until the last possible moment. That is, markets act as if everything is normal until it’s blindingly obvious that it isn’t.❞

"Writing is one of the most disruptive technologies ever invented after agriculture. Before writing, people could pass information in the current moment, to those who were close enough to hear noises made by other people. Writing allows people to communicate across space, passing written information to readers without the physical presence of the author. And it allows them to communicate across time, leaving evidence of thoughts long after the thinker had died."

The Potential Impact of Disruptive AI Innovations on U.S. Occupations
The rapid rise of AI is poised to disrupt the labor market. However, AI is not a monolith; its impact depends on both the nature of the innovation and the jobs it affects. While computational approaches are emerging, there is no consensus on how to systematically measure an innovation's disruptive potential. Here, we calculate the disruption index of 3,237 U.S. AI patents (2015-2022) and link them to job tasks to distinguish between "consolidating" AI innovations that reinforce existing structu…

Survival of higher overdensity cold gas in a turbulent, multiphase medium
Cold gas clouds embedded in a hot, turbulent medium are expected to be short-lived due to disruptive hydrodynamic instabilities. However, radiative cooling might allow such clouds to survive and grow. We present 3D \texttt{Athena++} simulations of clouds with a density contrast of $χ= 1000$, exploring turbulent Mach numbers $\mathcal{M}\in (0.25, 0.75)$ and cloud radii chosen to span cooling-to-crushing ratios $α\in [0.001, 10]$. We find a shift in the survival boundary, with cloud survival o…

Quantum Advantage in Computational Chemistry?
For decades, computational chemistry has been posited as one of the areas in which quantum computing would revolutionize. However, the algorithmic advantages that fault-tolerant quantum computers have for chemistry can be overwhelmed by other disadvantages, such as error correction, processor speed, etc. To assess when quantum computing will be disruptive to computational chemistry, we compare a wide range of classical methods to quantum computational methods by extending the framework proposed…

A Refined Alternating Optimization for Sum Rate Maximization in SIM-Aided Multiuser MISO Systems
Stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIMs) have emerged as a disruptive technology for future wireless networks. To investigate their capabilities, we study the sum rate maximization problem in an SIM-based multiuser (MU) multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink system. A vast majority of pioneer studies, if not all, address this fundamental problem using the prevailing alternating optimization (AO) framework, where the digital beamforming (DB) and SIM phase shifts are optimized alternately.

Norm-Stabilized Imaginary-Time Evolution via Feedback Control
We present a norm-stabilized imaginary-time evolution (ITE) scheme for the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). Traditional ITE solvers often require explicit renormalization of the wavefunction after each step to preserve norm, which can be disruptive and algorithmically inflexible. We propose an alternative approach in which the evolution is continuously stabilized using an adaptive feedback term mu(tau), proportional to the time derivative of the wavefunction norm. This res…

Scientific breakthroughs are widely attributed to the novel recombination of existing ideas. Yet despite explosive global growth in scientific labor and publications -- creating more opportunities to reconfigure knowledge -- the rate of breakthroughs has not kept pace. To investigate this disconnect, we analyze 49 million scholarly works from 1960 to 2024 using measures of atypical recombination and disruptive innovation. Contrary to recombination theories, we find a robust negative correlation…

In this paper, we investigate the Domain Name System (DNS) over QUIC (DoQ) and propose a non-disruptive extension, which can greatly reduce DoQ's resource consumption. This extension can benefit all DNS clients - especially Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This is important because even resource-constrained IoT devices can generate dozens of DNS requests every hour. DNS is a crucial service that correlates IP addresses and domain names. It is traditionally sent as plain-text, favoring low-late…

Absolute constraints on the magnetic field evolution in tokamak power plants
Issues of tokamak power plants, such as maximum possible length of a pulse of fusion power, the required time between fusion pulses, and the evolution of the current profile towards disruptive states, are tightly constrained by a simple evolution equation for the magnetic field. This equation follows from Faraday's Law and the mathematical relation between the magnetic and the electric fields. The validity of detailed simulations is tested by consistency with Faraday's Law, not the other way ar…
