Explicit C*-algebraic Protocol for Exact Universal Embezzlement of Entanglement
We present an explicit construction of a universal embezzlement protocol in the C*-algebraic model of quantum information, that is equivalent to the commuting operator model. Our protocol enables exact embezzlement of arbitrary bipartite pure states using a single, fixed catalyst state. Unlike prior constructions that achieve only approximate embezzlement or require state-dependent catalysts, our approach is both exact and state-independent. The construction is explicit, based on simple *-autom…

Practical Improvements of A/B Testing with Off-Policy Estimation
We address the problem of A/B testing, a widely used protocol for evaluating the potential improvement achieved by a new decision system compared to a baseline. This protocol segments the population into two subgroups, each exposed to a version of the system and estimates the improvement as the difference between the measured effects. In this work, we demonstrate that the commonly used difference-in-means estimator, while unbiased, can be improved. We introduce a family of unbiased off-policy e…

Frosty for partial synchrony
Snowman is the consensus protocol used by blockchains on Avalanche. Recent work has shown both how to augment Snowman with a `liveness' module called `Frosty' that protects against liveness attacks, and also how to modify Snowman so as to be consistent in partial synchrony. Since Frosty assumes (a strong form of) synchrony, the aim of this note is to show how to modify Frosty to deal with the partially synchronous version of Snowman.

Construction of ergodic IDLA forests in $\mathbb{Z}^d$
We prove the existence of infinite-volume IDLA forests in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ , with $d \geq 2$, based on a multi-source IDLA protocol. Unlike IDLA aggregates, the laws of the IDLA forests studied here depend on the trajectories of particles, and then do not satisfy the famous Abelian property. Their existence is due to a stabilization result (Theorem 1.1, our main result) that we establish using percolation tools. Although the sources are infinitely many, we also prove that each of them play the sa…

Starting with a single informed vertex, the information flows until it reaches all the vertices of the graph (completion), according to the following process. At each step $k$, the information is propagated to neighbors of the informed vertices, in the $k$-th generated random graph. The way this information propagates from vertex to vertex at each step will depend on the ``protocol". We provide a method based on strong stationary times to study…

"But there were technologists and open source projects in attendance. Notably, representatives from the Mastodon and Bluesky teams were at the Festival. The Newsmast Foundation was also present, incisively taking part in conversations to help newsrooms onboard themselves onto both of them. I got to hang out with them all, connecting with people I’d spoken with but never interacted with in person. Mastodon has undergone a transformation, has doubled its team, and is working on smoothing out some of its rough edges, while not letting go of its core ethos. It’s also beginning to position itself as a European alternative to American social media platforms, with a community-first values system and new services to directly help organizations join the network.
Bluesky, on the other hand, has done an able job of bringing journalists onto its existing social app, and is now hard at work explaining why its underlying protocol matters. Both want to engage with newsrooms and journalists and do the right thing by them. They each have something different to prove: Mastodon that it can be usable and accessible, and Bluesky that it can provide a return to its investors and truly decentralize while holding onto its values. I’m rooting for both of them.
These platforms’ messages dovetail with my own: news can own the platforms that support them. Lots of people at the Festival were worried about the impact of US big tech on their businesses — particularly in a world where tech moguls seem to be aligning themselves with a Presidential administration that has positioned itself as being adversarial to news, journalists, sources, and, arguably, the truth. The good news is that the technology is out there, the values-aligned technologists are out there, and there’s a strong path forward. The only thing left is to follow it."

However, this innovation has failed to scale when it comes to cross-chain swaps. Modern cross-chain swaps employ double-sided AMMs, which are not only inefficient due to liquidity fragmentation but also require an intermediate token. This introduces inherent volatility risk as well as blockchain and bridging risk, es…

Suppression of spin bath and low-frequency noise for sub-MHz AC magnetometry based on double-dressed spin qubit in diamond
We experimentally demonstrate a protocol that effectively suppresses the qubit-bath interaction in diamond and enables detection of weak AC signals (below 1 MHz) with enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) up to SNR = 17. The method is based on AC magnetometry with single- and double-dressed states that are adiabatically transferred from the initial qubit states using concatenated continuous dynamical decoupling. This work paves a way toward sensitive detection of weakly coupled nuclear spins in …

A Smart-Contract to Resolve Multiple Equilibrium in Intermediated Trade
We present a model of a market that is intermediated by broker-dealers where there is multiple equilibrium. We then design a smart-contract that receives messages and algorithmically sends trading instructions. The smart-contract resolves the multiple equilibrium by implementing broker-dealer joint profit maximization as a Nash equilibrium. This outcome relies upon several factors: Agent commitments to follow the smart contract protocol; selective privacy of information; a structured timing of …

BEAR: BGP Event Analysis and Reporting
The Internet comprises of interconnected, independently managed Autonomous Systems (AS) that rely on the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for inter-domain routing. BGP anomalies--such as route leaks and hijacks--can divert traffic through unauthorized or inefficient paths, jeopardizing network reliability and security. Although existing rule-based and machine learning methods can detect these anomalies using structured metrics, they still require experts with in-depth BGP knowledge of, for example…

Applying the ACE2 Emulator to SST Green's Functions for the E3SMv3 Global Atmosphere Model
Green's functions are a useful technique for interpreting atmospheric state responses to changes in the spatial pattern of sea surface temperature (SST). Here we train version 2 of the Ai2 Climate Emulator (ACE2) on reference historical SST simulations of the US Department of Energy's EAMv3 global atmosphere model. We compare how well the SST Green's functions generated by ACE2 match those of EAMv3, following the protocol of the Green's Function Model Intercomparison Project (GFMIP). The spatia…

Multi-mode NOON states generation with ultracold atoms via geodesic counterdiabatic driving
We present a protocol for the generation of NOON states with ultracold atoms, leveraging the Bose-Hubbard model in the self-trapping regime. By the means of an optimized adiabatic protocol, we achieve a significant reduction in the time required for the preparation of highly entangled NOON states, involving two or more modes. Our method saturates the quantum speed limit, ensuring both efficiency and high fidelity in state preparation. A detailed analysis of the geodesic counterdiabatic driving …

Ancilla measurement-based Quantum Otto engine using double-pair spin architecture
We present a quantum heat engine model utilizing a dual spin-pair architecture, wherein an Otto-like cycle is implemented using a single heat bath. The conventional cold bath is replaced by a measurement protocol, enabling engine operation without the need for a second thermal reservoir. Unlike standard quantum heat engines, our framework employs an ancillary spin pair in a two-dimensional configuration to regulate performance. Operating in finite time, the engine attains finite power, which is…

Complementary Time-Space Tradeoff for Self-Stabilizing Leader Election: Polynomial States Meet Sublinear Time
We study the self-stabilizing leader election (SS-LE) problem in the population protocol model, assuming exact knowledge of the population size $n$. Burman, Chen, Chen, Doty, Nowak, Severson, and Xu (PODC 2021) showed that this problem can be solved in $O(n)$ expected time with $O(n)$ states. Recently, Gąsieniec, Grodzicki, and Stachowiak (PODC 2025) proved that $n+O(\log n)$ states suffice to achieve $O(n \log n)$ time both in expectation and with high probability (w.h.p.).

Fast and direct preparation of a genuine lattice BEC via the quantum Mpemba effect
We present an efficient method for dissipatively preparing a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) directly on a lattice, avoiding the need for a two-staged preparation procedure currently used in ultracold-atom platforms. Our protocol is based on driving the lattice-subsystem into a non-equilibrium steady state, which we show to exhibit a lattice analog of a true BEC, where the depletion can be controlled via the dissipation strength. Furthermore, exploiting a symmetry-based Mpemba effect, we analyti…

Morpheus Consensus: Excelling on trails and autobahns
Recent research in consensus has often focussed on protocols for State-Machine-Replication (SMR) that can handle high throughputs. Such state-of-the-art protocols (generally DAG-based) induce undue overhead when the needed throughput is low, or else exhibit unnecessarily-poor latency and communication complexity during periods of low throughput. Here we present Morpheus Consensus, which naturally morphs from a quiescent low-throughput leaderless blockchain protocol to a high-throughput leader…

With the advent of practical quantum communication networks drawing closer, there is a growing need for reliable estimation protocols that can efficiently characterize quantum resources with minimum resource overhead requirement. A novel approach to this problem is to integrate an estimator into an existing network task, thereby removing the need for an additional characterization protocol. In this work, we show that the measurement statistics of a double selection distillation protocol alone c…

Bayesian and Markovian classical feedforward for discriminating amplitude damping channels
We address the issue of multishot discrimination between two qubit-amplitude damping channels by invoking a simple adaptive protocol that employs Helstrom measurement at each step and classical information feedforward. We contrast the performance of Bayesian and Markovian strategies. We show that the former is only slightly advantageous for a limited parameters' region.

Electro-optic sampling of the electric-field operator for ultrabroadband pulses of Gaussian quantum light
Quantum light pulses (QLPs) can be described by spatio-temporal modes, each of which is associated with a quantum state. In the mid-infrared spectral range, electro-optic sampling (EOS) provides a means to characterize quantum fluctuations in the electric field of such light pulses. Here, we present a protocol based on the two-port EOS technique that enables the complete characterization of multimode Gaussian quantum light, demonstrating robustness to both the shot noise and cascading effects. …

Targeted Nakamoto: A Bitcoin Protocol to Balance Network Security and Energy Consumption
In a Proof-of-Work blockchain such as Bitcoin mining hashrate is increasing in the block reward. An increase in hashrate reduces network vulnerability to attack (a reduction in security cost) while increasing carbon emissions and electricity cost (an increase in externalities cost). This implies a tradeoff in total cost at different levels of hashrate and the existence of a hashrate interval where total cost is minimized. Targeted Nakamoto is a Proof-of-Work protocol augmentation that incentivi…

Scrapers selectively respect robots.txt directives: evidence from a large-scale empirical study
Online data scraping has taken on new dimensions in recent years, as traditional scrapers have been joined by new AI-specific bots. To counteract unwanted scraping, many sites use tools like the Robots Exclusion Protocol (REP), which places a robots.txt file at the site root to dictate scraper behavior. Yet, the efficacy of the REP is not well-understood. Anecdotal evidence suggests some bots comply poorly with it, but no rigorous study exists to support (or refute) this claim. To understand th…
