Five Minutes of DDoS Brings down Tor: DDoS Attacks on the Tor Directory Protocol and Mitigations
The Tor network offers network anonymity to its users by routing their traffic through a sequence of relays. A group of nine directory authorities maintains information about all available relay nodes using a distributed directory protocol. We observe that the current protocol makes a steep synchrony assumption, which makes it vulnerable to natural as well as adversarial non-synchronous communication scenarios over the Internet. In this paper, we show that it is possible to cause a failure in t…

A Decoy-like Protocol for Quantum Key Distribution: Enhancing the Performance with Imperfect Single Photon Sources
Quantum key distribution (QKD) relies on single photon sources (SPSs), e.g. from solid-state systems, as flying qubits, where security strongly requires sub-Poissonian photon statistics with low second-order correlation values (\$g^{(2)}(0)\$). However, achieving such low \$g^{(2)}(0)\$ remains experimentally challenging. We therefore propose a decoy-like QKD protocol that relaxes this constraint while maintaining security. This enables the use of many SPSs with \$g^{(2)}(0) > \$0.1, routinely …

The restored state appears in the superposition with other states which form garbage. This garbage can be easily removed by including the ancilla who…

Nonanaliticities and ergodicity breaking in noninteracting many-body dynamics via stochastic resetting and global measurements
Stochastic resetting generates nonequilibrium steady states by interspersing unitary quantum dynamics with resets at random times. When the state to which the system is reset is chosen conditionally on the outcome of a global and spatially resolved measurement, the steady state can feature collective behavior similar to what is typically observed at phase transitions. Here we investigate such conditional reset protocol in a system of noninteracting spins, where the reset state is chosen as a ma…

SLEAN: Simple Lightweight Ensemble Analysis Network for Multi-Provider LLM Coordination: Design, Implementation, and Vibe Coding Bug Investigation Case Study
We present SLEAN (Simple Lightweight Ensemble Analysis Network), a deterministic framework for coordinating multiple LLM providers through text-based prompt orchestration. Unlike complex multi-agent systems requiring specialized infrastructure, SLEAN operates as a simple prompt bridge between LLMs using .txt templates, requiring no deep technical knowledge for deployment. The three-phase protocol formed by independent analysis, cross-critique, and arbitration, filters harmful AI-generated code …

Collisional model with dissipative and dephasing baths: Nonadditive effects at strong coupling
The repeated interaction model provides a framework for emulating and analyzing the dynamics of open quantum systems. We explore here the dynamics generated by this protocol in a system that is simultaneously coupled to two baths through noncommuting system operators. One bath is made to couple to nondiagonal elements of the system, thus it induces dissipative dynamics, while the other couples to diagonal elements, and by itself it generates pure dephasing. By solving the problem analytically e…

Discriminative Feature Feedback with General Teacher Classes
We study the theoretical properties of the interactive learning protocol Discriminative Feature Feedback (DFF) (Dasgupta et al., 2018). The DFF learning protocol uses feedback in the form of discriminative feature explanations. We provide the first systematic study of DFF in a general framework that is comparable to that of classical protocols such as supervised learning and online learning. We study the optimal mistake bound of DFF in the realizable and the non-realizable settings, and obtain …

High-resolution electric field imaging based on intermittent-contact mode scanning NV center electrometry
Scanning nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center electrometry has shown potential for quantitative quantum imaging of electric fields at the nanoscale. However, achieving nanoscale spatial resolution remains a challenge since employing gradiometry to overcome electrostatic screening causes resolution-limiting trade-offs including the averaging effect and the sensor-sample proximity. Here, we demonstrate a scanning NV center protocol that achieves an enhanced spatial resolution of approximately 10 nm. We d…

Code2MCP: A Multi-Agent Framework for Automated Transformation of Code Repositories into Model Context Protocol Services
The proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) has created a significant integration challenge in the AI agent ecosystem, often called the "$N \times M$ problem," where N models require custom integrations for M tools. This fragmentation stifles innovation and creates substantial development overhead. While the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a standard to resolve this, its adoption is hindered by the manual effort required to convert the vast universe of existing software into M…

High-efficiency and long-distance quantum memory-assisted device-independent quantum secret sharing with single photon sources
Quantum secret sharing (QSS) plays a critical role in building the distributed quantum networks. Device-independent (DI) QSS provides the highest security level for QSS. However, the photon transmission loss and extremely low multipartite entanglement generation rate largely limit DI QSS's secure photon transmission distance and practical key generation efficiency. To address the above drawbacks, we propose the quantum memory-assisted (QMA) DI QSS protocol based on single photon sources (SPSs).…

The Impact of Sanctions on decentralised Privacy Tools: A Case Study of Tornado Cash
This paper investigates the impact of sanctions on Tornado Cash, a smart contract protocol designed to enhance transaction privacy. Following the U.S. Department of the Treasury's sanctions against Tornado Cash in August 2022, platform activity declined sharply. We document a significant and sustained reduction in transaction volume, user diversity, and overall protocol utilization after the sanctions were imposed. Our analysis draws on transaction data from three major blockchains: Ethereum, B…

FOR-Prompting: From Objection to Revision via an Asymmetric Prompting Protocol
Reasoning protocols such as Chain of Thought (CoT) and Tree of Thought (ToT) organize internal deliberation but lack an explicit mechanism for external questioning that elicits self-revision. We present FOR-Prompting (From Objection to Revision Prompting), an asymmetric protocol where a Defender proposes an answer, an Objectioner raises question-style objections with no direct fixes, and a Host enforces consistency and closure. On GSM8K we observe about a 22% point gain over single-prompt and a…

A Simple and Robust Protocol for Distributed Counting
We revisit the distributed counting problem, where a server must continuously approximate the total number of events occurring across $k$ sites while minimizing communication. The communication complexity of this problem is known to be $Θ(\frac{k}ε\log N)$ for deterministic protocols. Huang, Yi, and Zhang (2012) showed that randomization can reduce this to $Θ(\frac{\sqrt{k}}ε\log N)$, but their analysis is restricted to the {\em oblivious setting}, where the stream of events is independent …

Verifiable blind observable estimation: A composably secure protocol for near-term quantum advantage tasks
The rapid advance of quantum hardware is spotlighting pre-fault-tolerant tasks that may no longer be efficiently validated by classical means and are likely to run on potentially untrusted remote quantum servers. This motivates problem-independent verification protocols with rigorous guarantees.

Despite this promise, existing PoUW proposals often fail to embed the integrity of the chain and identity of the m…

Toxic Ink on Immutable Paper: Content Moderation for Ethereum Input Data Messages (IDMs)
Decentralized communication is becoming an important use case within Web3. On Ethereum, users can repurpose the transaction input data field to embed natural-language messages, commonly known as Input Data Messages (IDMs). However, as IDMs gain wider adoption, there has been a growing volume of toxic content on-chain. This trend is concerning, as Ethereum provides no protocol-level support for content moderation. We propose two moderation frameworks for Ethereum IDMs: (i) BUILDERMOD, where bu…

Non-Clifford Gates are Required for Long-Term Memory
We show that all Clifford circuits under interspersed depolarizing noise lose memory of their input exponentially quickly, even when given access to a constant supply of fresh qubits in arbitrary states. This is somewhat surprising given the result of Aharonov et al. [STOC1997] which gives a fault-tolerant protocol for general quantum circuits using a supply of fresh qubits. Our result shows that such a protocol is impossible using only Clifford gates demonstrating that non-Clifford gates are f…

Subspace Leakage Error Randomized Benchmarking of Mølmer-Sørensen Gates
We demonstrate a new technique that adapts single-qubit randomized benchmarking to two-qubit Mølmer-Sørensen gates. We use the controllable gate phase to generate Cliffords that act on a two-state subspace, enabling benchmarking of two-qubit gates without single-qubit operations. In addition to quantifying the gate infidelity, the protocol provides valuable information about the type of error by distinguishing between those that conserve the two-state subspace and those that result in leakage…
