Let $p$ and $q$ be two distinct fixed prime numbers and $(n_i)_{i\geq 0}$ the sequence of consecutive integers of the form $p^a\cdot q^b$ with $a,b\ge 0$. Tijdeman gave a lower bound (1973) and an upper bound (1974) for the gap size…
Optical frequency combs, named for their comb-like peaks in the spectrum, are essential for various sensing applications. As the technology develops, its performance has reached the standard quantum limit dictated by the quantum…
This paper introduces a new variant of hypercubes, which we call Z-cubes. The n-dimensional Z-cube $H_n$ is obtained from two copies of the (n-1)-dimensional Z-cube $H_{n-1}$ by adding a special perfect matching between the vertices of…
A code $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \to \{0,1\}^n$ is a $q$-locally decodable code ($q$-LDC) if one can recover any chosen bit $b_i$ of the message $b \in \{0,1\}^k$ with good confidence by randomly querying the encoding $x := C(b)$ on at most $q$…
A subset of the Hamming cube over $n$-letter alphabet is said to be $d$-maximal if its diameter is $d$, and adding any point increases the diameter. Our main result shows that each $d$-maximal set is either of size at most $(n+o(n))^d$ or…
A frequency rectangle of type FR$(m,n;q)$ is an $m \times n$ matrix such that each symbol from a set of size $q$ appears $n/q$ times in each row and $m/q$ times in each column. Two frequency rectangles of the same type are said to be…
The $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ is a graph with vertex set $\{0,1\}^n$ such that there is an edge between two vertices if and only if they differ in exactly one coordinate. For any graph $H$, define $\text{ex}(Q_n,H)$ to be the maximum…
In this Letter, we propose a new approach to process high-dimensional quantum information encoded in a photon frequency domain. In contrast to previous approaches based on nonlinear optical processes, no active control of photon energy is…
Let m be a positive integer and let G be a cubic graph of order 2n. We consider the problem of covering the edge-set of G with the minimum number of matchings of size m. This number is called excessive [m]-index of G in literature. The case…
A function $f:\{0,...,q-1\}^n\to\{0,...,q-1\}$ invertible in each argument is called a latin hypercube. A collection $(\pi_0,\pi_1,...,\pi_n)$ of permutations of $\{0,...,q-1\}$ is called an autotopism of a latin hypercube $f$ if…

Fast quantum data transmission faces several shortcomings such as the indistinguishability of some partly overlapping signals, the channel noises, and so on. Based on the encoded quantum data transmission protocol, an unconventional scheme…
Let $T_{\epsilon}$ be the noise operator acting on functions on the boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$. Let $f$ be a nonnegative function on $\{0,1\}^n$ and let $q \ge 1$. We upper bound the $\ell_q$ norm of $T_{\epsilon} f$ by the average $\ell_q$…
