Underwater Hacker Missile Wars: A Cryptography and Engineering Contest
Joshua Holden, Richard Layton, Laurence Merkle +1
For a recent student conference, the authors developed a day-long design problem and competition suitable for engineering, mathematics and science undergraduates. The competition i…
Measurement of geometric phase for mixed states using single photon interferometry
Marie Ericsson, Daryl Achilles, Julio T. Barreiro +3
Geometric phase may enable inherently fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, due to potential decoherence effects, it is important to understand how such phases arise for {\i…
Distribution of the Error in Estimated Numbers of Fixed Points of the Discrete Logarithm
Joshua Holden
Brizolis asked the question: does every prime p have a pair (g,h) such that h is a fixed point for the discrete logarithm with base g? The author and Pieter Moree, building on work…
Some Heuristics and Results for Small Cycles of the Discrete Logarithm
Joshua Holden, Pieter Moree
Brizolis asked the question: does every prime p have a pair (g,h) such that h is a fixed point for the discrete logarithm with base g? The first author previously extended this que…
