Atomic vibrations play a critical role in phonon-assisted electron transitions at defects in solids. However, accurate phonon calculations in defect systems are often hindered by the high computational cost of large-supercell…

We consider about calculating $M$th moments of a given polynomial in free independent semicircular elements in free probability theory. By a naive approach, this calculation requires exponential time with respect to $M$. We explicitly give…

We explore a new form of DFT, which we call the Polynomial Transform. It functions over finite fields, and a size $n$ transform takes $O(n)$ operations. In the multitape Turing machine model, it allows us to multiply two $n$ bit numbers in…

A $c$-short program for a string $x$ is a description of $x$ of length at most $C(x) + c$, where $C(x)$ is the Kolmogorov complexity of $x$. We show that there exists a randomized algorithm that constructs a list of $n$ elements that…
We show that Reed-Solomon codes of dimension $k$ and block length $n$ over any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ can be deterministically list decoded from agreement $\sqrt{(k-1)n}$ in time $\text{poly}(n, \log |\mathbb{F}|)$. Prior to this work,…
