We initiate the study of the *randomness complexity* of differential privacy, i.e., how many random bits an algorithm needs in order to generate accurate differentially private releases. As a test case, we focus on the task of releasing the results of $d$ counting queries, or equivalently all one-way marginals on ... more >>>

Trevisan and Vadhan (FOCS 2000) introduced the notion of (seedless) extractors for samplable distributions as a possible solution to the problem of extracting random keys for cryptographic protocols from weak sources of randomness.
They showed that under a very strong complexity theoretic assumption, there exists a constant $\alpha>0$ such that ... more >>>

We introduce two models of space-bounded quantum interactive proof systems, $\mathbf{QIPL}$ and $\mathbf{QIP_\mathrm{U}L}$. The $\mathbf{QIP_\mathrm{U}L}$ model, a space-bounded variant of quantum interactive proofs ($\mathbf{QIP}$) introduced by Watrous (CC 2003) and Kitaev and Watrous (STOC 2000), restricts verifier actions to unitary circuits. In contrast, $\mathbf{QIPL}$ allows logarithmically many intermediate measurements per ... more >>>
