The evolution of an isolated quantum system inevitably exhibits recurrence: the state returns to the vicinity of its initial condition after finite time. Despite its fundamental nature, a rigorous quantitative understanding of recurrence…

The {\em parallel time} of a population protocol is defined as the average number of required interactions that an agent in the protocol participates, i.e., the quotient between the total number of interactions required by the protocol and…

Consider a random graph G in G(n,p) and the graph property: G contains a copy of a specific graph H. (Note: H depends on n; a motivating example: H is a Hamiltonian cycle.) Let q be the minimal value for which the expected number of copies…

The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to decide whether the Hamming distance between their $n$-bit…

For an integer $n\geq1$, consider a random partition $\Pi_{n}$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ into $K_{n}$ partition sets with $K_{r,n}$ partition subsets of size $r=1,\ldots,n$, and assume $\Pi_{n}$ distributed according to the Ewens-Pitman model…

The probability distribution P from which the history of our universe is sampled represents a theory of everything or TOE. We assume P is formally describable. Since most (uncountably many) distributions are not, this imposes a strong…

We investigate the randomized and quantum communication complexities of the well-studied Equality function with small error probability $\epsilon$, getting optimal constant factors in the leading terms in a number of different models. In…

We consider the leader election problem in population protocol models. In pragmatic settings of population protocols, self-stabilization is a highly desired feature owing to its fault resilience and the benefit of initialization freedom.…

Bin Packing with $k$ bins is a fundamental optimisation problem in which we are given a set of $n$ integers and a capacity $T$ and the goal is to partition the set into $k$ subsets, each of total sum at most $T$. Bin Packing is NP-hard…

We revisit the classical problem of universal prediction of stochastic sequences with a finite time horizon $T$ known to the learner. The question we investigate is whether it is possible to derive vanishing regret bounds that hold with…

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) provides a powerful framework for understanding thermalization in isolated quantum many-body systems, yet a complete and conceptually transparent derivation has remained elusive. In this work,…

A population protocol *stably elects a leader* if, for all $n$, starting from an initial configuration with $n$ agents each in an identical state, with probability 1 it reaches a configuration $\mathbf{y}$ that is correct (exactly one agent…

We argue by saying that due to conservation of energy ($\langle H\rangle_n \rightleftharpoons \langle K.E\rangle_n + \langle P.E\rangle_n$) PT-symmetry Hamiltonian $H = p^2 - (ix)^N$ is a highly ordered system. Further, it is found that…
