Cubelike graphs are the Cayley of elementary Abelian group ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}^{n}$ (e.g., hypercube is a cubelike graph). We study perfect state transfer between two particles in quantum networks modeled by large class graphs. This generalizes results Christandl et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 187902 (2004)] and Facer A (2008)].

We investigate restructuring techniques based on decomposition/factorization, with the objective to move critical signals toward output while minimizing area. A specific application is synthesis for minimum switching activity (or high performance), area penalty, where decompositions respect variables are needed (the ones of highest example). In this paper we describe new types factorization that extend Shannon cofactoring and projection functions change Hamming distance original minterms...

Set accumulators are cryptographic primitives used to represent arbitrarily large sets of elements with a single constant-size value and efficiently verify whether belongs that set. Accumulators support the generation membership proofs, meaning they can certify presence given among In this paper we present an overview theoretical concepts underlying set accumulators, compare most popular constructions from complexity perspective, survey number their applications related blockchain...

Quantum computing sets the foundation for new ways of designing algorithms, thanks to peculiar properties inherited by quantum mechanics. The exploration this paradigm faces challenges concerning which field speedup can be achieved. Toward finding solutions, looking design subroutines that are more efficient than their classical counterpart poses solid pillars powerful algorithms. Herewith, we delve into a grounding subroutine, computation variance, whose usefulness spaces across different...

Abstract The increasing adoption of tokens on the Ethereum blockchain has given rise to many distinct economic communities whose activity history is publicly accessible. In this paper we study fungible and non-fungible tokens, regulated, respectively, by ERC-20 ERC-721 standards. particular, focus token transfers consider top 100 largest ecosystems number transfers, modeling them as networks where nodes correspond participants edges represent transfers. We analyze their main topological...

In this paper we propose a novel approach to the synthesis of minimal-sized lattices, based on decomposition logic functions. Since allows obtain circuits with smaller area, our idea is decompose Boolean functions separate according P-circuits scheme, and then implement decomposed blocks physically separated regions in single lattice. Experimental results show that about 35% considered benchmarks achieve area when implemented using proposed for switching an average gain at least 24%.

Abstract In the Bitcoin protocol, dust refers to small amounts of currency that are lower than fee required spend them in a transaction. Although “economically irrational”, is commonly used for achieving unconventional side effects, rather exchanging value. For instance, might be linked on-chain services or malicious activity, such as attacks attempting break users’ pseudonymity. To study this phenomenon, paper presents an depth analysis transactions involving dust, showing how created and...

We exploit the "regularity" of Boolean functions with purpose decreasing time for constructing minimal three-level expressions, in sum pseudoproducts (SPP) form recently developed. The regularity a function f n variables can be expressed by an autosymmetry degree k (with 0 /spl les/ n). = means no regularity, that is we are not able to provide any advantage over standard synthesis. For ges/ 1 said autosymmetric, and new f/sub k/ depending on - only, called restriction f, identified...

This paper introduces a new bounded multi-level algebraic form, called projected sum of products (P-SOP), based on projections minimal SOP forms onto subsets the Boolean space. After standard two-level logic minimization, this technique can be used as very fast postprocessing step for further minimizing circuit area, increasing depth network by only constant value. The proposed synthesis algorithms have been implemented and tested with interesting results, which show how about 75% Espresso...
