To fully exploit the additional dimension brought by reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), it is recently suggested by information theory that modulating information upon RIS phases is able to send extra information with increased…
We consider a rare event monitoring system consisting of a set of devices and a base station, where devices transmit information about rare events to the base station using a random multiple access scheme. We introduce a model in which the…
We investigate routing on networks modeled as multiple access channels, when packets are injected continually. There is an energy cap understood as a bound on the number of stations that can be switched on simultaneously. Each packet is…
Blind rendezvous is a fundamental problem in cognitive radio networks. The problem involves a collection of agents (radios) that wish to discover each other in the blind setting where there is no shared infrastructure and they initially…
Readout and retrieval processes are proposed for efficient, high-fidelity quantum state transfer between a matter qubit, encoded in the level structure of a single atom or ion, and a photonic qubit, encoded in a time-reversal-symmetric…
A random access code (RAC) encodes an $L$-bit string into a $k$-bit message, where $L>k$, such that any requested bit can be decoded with high probability; a quantum RAC (QRAC) replaces the message with $k$ qubits. This paper provides a…

In conventional quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols, security is guaranteed by estimating the amount of leaked information through monitoring signal disturbance, which, in practice, is generally caused by environmental noise and device…
A wireless relay with multiple antennas is called a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) switch if it maps its input links to its output links using "precode-and-forward." Namely, the MIMO switch precodes the received signal vector in the…

In a generic switching problem, a switching pattern consists of a one-to-one mapping from a set of inputs to a set of outputs (i.e., a permutation). We propose and investigate a wireless switching framework in which a multi-antenna relay is…
