Size Doesn't Matter: Cosine-Scored Sparse Autoencoders

Silen Naihin, Lev Stambler

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) detect features via inner product, so a feature's activation scales with both its directional alignment and the input's norm. Features that fire on token…

Towards Simple and Useful One-Time Programs in the Quantum Random Oracle Model

Lev Stambler

We construct simulation-secure one-time memories (OTM) in the random oracle model, and present a plausible argument for their security against quantum adversaries with bounded and…

A Note on Publicly Verifiable Quantum Money with Low Quantum Computational Resources

Fabrizio Genovese, Lev Stambler

In this work we present a publicly verifiable quantum money protocol which assumes close to no quantum computational capabilities. We rely on one-time memories which in turn can be…

New Quantum Internet Applications via Verifiable One-Time Programs

Lev Stambler

We introduce Verifiable One-Time Programs (Ver-OTPs) and use them to construct single-round Open Secure Computation (OSC), a novel primitive enabling applications like (1) single-r…

Cryptography without Long-Term Quantum Memory and Global Entanglement: Classical Setups for One-Time Programs, Copy Protection, and Stateful Obfuscation

Lev Stambler

We show how oracles which only allow for classical query access can be used to construct a variety of quantum cryptographic primitives which do not require long-term quantum memory…

Information Theoretic One-Time Programs from Geometrically Local Adversaries

Lev Stambler

We show how to construct simulation secure one-time memories, and thus one-time programs, without computational assumptions in the presence of constraints on quantum hardware. Spec…

Provably Overwhelming Transformer Models with Designed Inputs

Lev Stambler, Seyed Sajjad Nezhadi, Matthew Coudron

We develop an algorithm which, given a trained transformer model as input, as well as a string of tokens of length and an integer , can genera…

Quantum One-Time Memories from Stateless Hardware, Random Access Codes, and Simple Nonconvex Optimization

Lev Stambler

We present a construction of one-time memories (OTMs) using classical-accessible stateless hardware, building upon the work of Broadbent et al. and Behera et al.. Unlike the aforem…

Effective Distance of Higher Dimensional HGPs and Weight-Reduced Quantum LDPC Codes

Shi Jie Samuel Tan, Lev Stambler

Quantum error correction plays a prominent role in the realization of quantum computation, and quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes are believed to be practically useful…

Addressing Stopping Failures for Small Set Flip Decoding of Hypergraph Product Codes

Lev Stambler, Anirudh Krishna, Michael E. Beverland

For a quantum error correcting code to be used in practice, it needs to be equipped with an efficient decoding algorithm, which identifies corrections given the observed syndrome o…
