A Study of Error Floor Behavior in QC-MDPC Codes

August 17, 2022
Author(s)
Sarah Arpin, Tyler Billingsley, Daniel Hast, Jun Bo Lao, Ray Perlner, Angela Robinson
We present experimental findings on the decoding failure rate (DFR) of BIKE, a third-round candidate in the NIST Post-Quantum Standardization process, at the 20-bit security level. We select parameters according to BIKE design principles and conduct a

Recommendation for Key Derivation Using Pseudorandom Functions

August 17, 2022
Author(s)
Lily Chen
This Recommendation specifies techniques for the derivation of additional keying material from a secret key—either established through a key-establishment scheme or shared through some other manner—using pseudorandom functions: HMAC, CMAC, and KMAC.

Status Report on the Third Round of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process

July 5, 2022
Author(s)
Gorjan Alagic, David Cooper, Quynh Dang, Thinh Dang, John M. Kelsey, Jacob Lichtinger, Yi-Kai Liu, Carl A. Miller, Dustin Moody, Rene Peralta, Ray Perlner, Angela Robinson, Daniel Smith-Tone, Daniel Apon
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the process of selecting public-key cryptographic algorithms through a public, competition-like process. The new public-key cryptography standards will specify additional digital signature, public

Physics-assisted Generative Adversarial Network for X-Ray Tomography

June 10, 2022
Author(s)
Zhen Guo, Jungki Song, George Barbastathis, Michael Glinsky, Courtenay Vaughan, Kurt Larson, Bradley Alpert, Zachary H. Levine
X-ray tomography is capable of imaging the interior of objects in three dimensions non-invasively, with applications in biomedical imaging, materials study, electronic inspection, and other fields. The reconstruction process can be an ill-conditioned

Pairs of Heron and right triangles with a common area and a common perimeter

May 23, 2022
Author(s)
Abhishek Juyal, Dustin Moody
A Heron triangle is one in which the side lengths and area are integers. An integral right triangle is an example of a Heron triangle. In this paper, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of integral right triangles and Heron triangles with a common

Improving quantum state detection with adaptive sequential observations

May 13, 2022
Author(s)
Emanuel Knill, Scott Glancy, Daniel Cole, Shawn Geller
For many quantum systems intended for information processing, one detects the logical state of a qubit by integrating a continuously observed quantity over time. For example, ion and atom qubits are typically measured by driving a cycling transition and

ON RANKS OF QUADRATIC TWISTS OF A MORDELL CURVE

May 13, 2022
Author(s)
Dustin Moody, Abhishek Juyal, Bidisha Roy
In this article, we consider the quadratic twists of the Mordell curve $E:y^2=x^3-1$. For a square-free integer $k$, the quadratic twist of $E$ is given by $E_k:y^2=x^3-k^3.$ We prove that there exist infinitely many $k$ for which the rank of $E_k$ is 0

Grassmannian Shape Representations for Aerodynamic Applications

February 28, 2022
Author(s)
Olga Doronina, Zachary J. Grey, Andrew Glaws
Airfoil shape design is a classical problem in engineering and manufacturing. Our motivation is to combine principled physics-based considerations for the shape design problem with modern computational techniques informed by a data-driven approach

Graph Convolutional Neural Network Applied to the Prediction of Normal Boiling Point

February 4, 2022
Author(s)
Chen Qu, Anthony J. Kearsley, Barry I. Schneider, Walid Keyrouz, Thomas C. Allison
In this article, we describe training and validation of a machine learning model for the prediction of organic compound normal boiling points. Data are drawn from the experimental literature as captured in the NIST Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC)

Characterizing Frequency Stability Measurements having Multiple Data Gaps

February 2, 2022
Author(s)
David A. Howe, Noah Schlossberger
Time series measurements with data gaps (dead times) prevent accurate computations of frequency variances such as the Allan variance (AVAR) and its square-root ADEV. To extract frequency distributions, data must be sequentially ordered and equally spaced
