Quantum Uncloneability Games and Applications to CryptographyCulf, Eric 22 December 2022 (has links)
Many unique attributes of quantum cryptography arise from the no-cloning property of quantum information. We study this using two closely-related types of uncloneability game: no-cloning and monogamy-of-entanglement games. In a no-cloning game, a referee sends a quantum state encoding classical information to two cooperating players who split the state, then try simultaneously guessing the information, provided the key. In a monogamy-of-entanglement game, two cooperating players try to guess the referee's measurement result on a tripartite state the players prepared.
In this work, we prove winning probability bounds on no-cloning games based on coset states, which have the interesting property that the players guess two different strings. We also show a rigidity property for the original monogamy-of-entanglement game, letting it be used as a test of separability. Finally, we apply these properties to construct a variety of novel cryptographic protocols for uncloneable encryption, quantum key distribution, bit commitment, and randomness expansion.

Quantum Information Processing By NMR : Relaxation Of Pseudo Pure States, Geometric Phases And AlgorithmsGhosh, Arindam 08 1900 (has links)
This thesis focuses on two aspects of Quantum Information Processing (QIP) and contains experimental implementation by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The two aspects are: (i) development of novel methodologies for improved or fault tolerant QIP using longer lived states and geometric phases and (ii) implementation of certain quantum algorithms and theorems by NMR.
In the first chapter a general introduction to Quantum Information Processing and its implementation using NMR as well as a description of NMR Hamiltonians and NMR relaxation using Redfield theory and magnetization modes are given.
The second chapter contains a study of relaxation of Pseudo Pure States (PPS). PPS are specially prepared initial states from where computation begins. These states, being non-equilibrium states, relax with time and hence introduce error in computation. In this chapter we have studied the role of Cross-Correlations in relaxation of PPS.
The third and fourth chapters, respectively report observation of cyclic and non-cyclic geometric phases. When the state of a qubit is subjected to evolution either adiabatically or non-adiabatically along the surface of the Bloch sphere, the qubit sometimes gain a phase factor apart from the dynamic phase. This is known as the Geometric phase, as it depends only on the geometry of the path of evolution. Geometric phase is used in Fault tolerant QIP. In these two chapters we have demonstrated how geometric phases of a qubit can be measured using NMR.
The fifth and sixth chapters contain the implementations of “No Deletion” and “No Cloning” (quantum triplicator for partially known states) theorems. No Cloning and No Deletion theorems are closely related. The former states that an unknown quantum states can not be copied perfectly while the later states that an unknown state can not be deleted perfectly either. In these two chapters we have discussed about experimental implementation of the two theorems.
The last chapter contains implementation of “Deutsch-Jozsa” algorithm in strongly dipolar coupled spin systems. Dipolar couplings being larger than the scalar couplings provide better opportunity for scaling up to larger number of qubits. However, strongly coupled systems offer few experimental challenges as well. This chapter demonstrates how a strongly coupled system can be used in NMR QIP.

Adapting digital forensics processes for quantum computing : Insights from established industry guidelines supplemented by qualitative interviewsSvenblad, Tobias January 2024 (has links)
This thesis explores the evolving landscape of digital forensics in the context of quantum computing advancements, which challenge the foundational integrity of digital evidence. The focus is on the globally recognized digital forensic guidelines, NIST SP 800-86 and ISO/IEC 27037:2012, and their capacity to safeguard evidence against the unique capabilities of quantum systems. This thesis identifies vulnerabilities within existing forensic models through a comprehensive document analysis and expert interviews and proposes strategic modifications to enhance their robustness. Key findings suggest that traditional digital forensic methodologies, while robust under current technological standards, must address quantum data’s multi-state, entanglement, and no-cloning properties, which can fundamentally alter digital evidence. The thesis advocates for a paradigm shift in forensic processes to incorporate quantum-resistant techniques that ensure the integrity and admissibility of evidence. Additionally, it highlights the necessity for ongoing education and collaborative research to effectively adapt digital forensics to this new technological era. This research contributes to the theoretical framework and practical applications of digital forensics, aiming to future-proof forensic practices against the disruptive nature of quantum computing.
