Improving ML Attacks on LWE with Data Repetition and Stepwise Regression

Alberto Alfarano, Eshika Saxena, Emily Wenger +2

The Learning with Errors (LWE) problem is a hard math problem in lattice-based cryptography. In the simplest case of binary secrets, it is the subset sum problem, with error. Effec…

Shorter quantum circuits via single-qubit gate approximation

Vadym Kliuchnikov, Kristin Lauter, Romy Minko +2

We give a novel procedure for approximating general single-qubit unitaries from a finite universal gate set by reducing the problem to a novel magnitude approximation problem, achi…
