We give an exponential separation between one-way quantum and classical communication protocols for a partial Boolean function (a variant of the Boolean Hidden Matching Problem of Bar-Yossef et al.) Earlier such an exponential separation…

We reconsider and modify the second secure multi-party quantum addition protocol proposed in our original work. We show that the protocol is an anonymous multi-party quantum addition protocol rather than a secure multi-party quantum…

Masking quantum information, which is impossible without randomness as a resource, is a task that encodes quantum information into bipartite quantum state while forbidding local parties from accessing to that information. In this work, we…

The Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) metric governs a fundamental duality: it quantifies both how precisely a parameter can be estimated (metrology) and how distinguishable two quantum states are (privacy). We exploit this duality to…

Amplification by subsampling is one of the main primitives in machine learning with differential privacy (DP): Training a model on random batches instead of complete datasets results in stronger privacy. This is traditionally formalized via…

We study classical source coding with quantum side-information where the quantum side-information is observed by a helper and sent to the decoder via a classical channel. We derive a single-letter characterization of the achievable rate…

High-quality, distributed quantum entanglement is the distinctive resource for quantum communication and forms the foundation for the unequalled level of security that can be assured in quantum key distribution. While the entanglement…

Privacy amplification (PA) is a vital procedure in quantum key distribution (QKD) to generate the secret key that the eavesdropper has only negligible information from the identical correcting key for the communicating parties. With the…

We examine the privacy amplification of channels that do not necessarily satisfy any LDP guarantee by analyzing their contraction behavior in terms of $f_\alpha$-divergence, an $f$-divergence related to R\'enyi-divergence via a monotonic…

We analyze arbitrarily varying classical-quantum wiretap channels.These channels are subject to two attacks at the same time: one passive (eavesdropping), and one active (jamming). We progress on previous works by introducing a reduced…

We determine the secrecy capacity of the compound channel with quantum wiretapper and channel state information at the transmitter. Moreover, we derive a lower bound on the secrecy capacity of this channel without channel state information…

A commonly used method to protect user privacy in data collection is to perform randomized perturbation on user's real data before collection so that aggregated statistics can still be inferred without endangering secrets held by…
