A major open problem at the interface of quantum computing and communication complexity is whether quantum protocols can be exponentially more efficient than classical protocols for computing total Boolean functions; the prevailing conjecture is that they are not. In a seminal work, Razborov (2002) resolved this question for AND-functions of ... more >>>

We study systems of linear equations modulo two in $n$ variables
with three variables in each equation. We assume that the system has
a solution with $pn$ variables taking the value 1 for some value
$00$ it is hard to find a solution
of the same weight that satisfies at ... more >>>

We introduce the SHEDAG (Somewhere Honest Entropic sources over Directed Acyclic Graphs) source model, a general model for multi-block randomness sources with causal correlations.
A SHEDAG source is defined over a directed acyclic graph (DAG) $G$ whose nodes output $n$-bit blocks. Blocks output by honest nodes are independent (by ... more >>>
