A classical oracle separation between QMA and QMA(2)

Sabee Grewal, Saachi Mutreja, Kabir Tomer

We exhibit a classical oracle relative to which QMA \neq QMA(2). The separation is based on a separable Hamiltonian problem defined by signed edge constraints on a graph. The YES i…

How to Build Pseudorandom Unitaries in Microcrypt

Aditya Gulati, Dakshita Khurana, Kabir Tomer

We provide the first evidence relative to a classical oracle that pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) can exist without quantum-computable one-way functions. To obtain this result, we fi…

How Not to Build Microcrypt

Aditya Gulati, Dakshita Khurana, Kabir Tomer

A key challenge in quantum cryptography is to build quantum one-wayness and pseudorandomness without the use of (quantum computable) one-way functions. So far, this has turned out…

Non-Trivial Zero-Knowledge Implies One-Way Functions

Suvradip Chakraborty, James Hulett, Dakshita Khurana +1

A recent breakthrough [Hirahara and Nanashima, STOC'2024] established that if , the existence of zero-knowledge with negligible errors…

On the Cryptographic Foundations of Interactive Quantum Advantage

Kabir Tomer, Mark Zhandry

In this work, we study the hardness required to achieve proofs of quantumness (PoQ), which in turn capture (potentially interactive) quantum advantage. A ``trivial'' PoQ is to simp…

On the Cryptographic Futility of Non-Collapsing Measurements

Alper Cakan, Dakshita Khurana, Tomoyuki Morimae +3

We investigate quantum analogues of collision resistance and obtain separations between quantum ``one-way'' and ``collision-resistant'' primitives. 1. Our first result studies one-…

Founding Quantum Cryptography on Quantum Advantage, or, Towards Cryptography from -Hardness

Dakshita Khurana, Kabir Tomer

Recent oracle separations [Kretschmer, TQC'21, Kretschmer et. al., STOC'23] have raised the tantalizing possibility of building quantum cryptography from sources of hardness that p…

Commitments from Quantum One-Wayness

Dakshita Khurana, Kabir Tomer

One-way functions are central to classical cryptography. They are both necessary for the existence of non-trivial classical cryptosystems, and sufficient to realize meaningful prim…
