Trapdoored Clifford Operators and Applications

Minki Hhan, Hojune Lee

Random Clifford operators have numerous applications in quantum computing, including randomized benchmarking, classical shadows, and quantum authentication. However, sampling and i…

Need for Coherent Access in Constructing Quantum Cryptography

Minki Hhan, Changhun Oh, Vaughn Sohn

We construct quantum oracles relative to which quantum-secure one-way functions (OWFs) exist but pseudorandom states (PRSs) with superlogarithmic output length do not. At first gla…

An Operator-Norm Approach to Security with Quantum Advice

Minki Hhan, Sunghyuk Jo, Qipeng Liu

Non-uniform security allows an adversary to receive bounded advice about an oracle before attempting a fresh challenge. This captures the most realistic attacks and has already bee…

Quantum Security of XOR of Permutations via Fourier Analysis

Wonseok Choi, Minki Hhan, Junyoung Jang

The XOR of two or more independent random permutations (XoP) is the prototypical pseudorandom function built from permutations achieving security beyond the birthday bound. The cla…

Derivatives of Quantum Randomness: Separating Pseudorandom Unitaries from Pseudorandom (Function-like) States

Minki Hhan

Quantum computation gives rise to new pseudorandom primitives for states and unitaries, including pseudorandom state generators (PRSGs), pseudorandom function-like state generators…

Proofs of Quantum Memory

Minki Hhan, Tomoyuki Morimae, Yasuaki Okinaka +1

In this paper, we introduce a new concept, proofs of quantum memory (PoQM). A PoQM is an interactive protocol between a classical verifier and a quantum prover over a classical cha…

On Limits on the Provable Consequences of Quantum Pseudorandomness

Samuel Bouaziz--Ermann, Minki Hhan, Garazi Muguruza +1

There are various notions of quantum pseudorandomness, such as pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs), pseudorandom state generators (PRSGs), pseudorandom function-like state generators (PR…

Shallow quantum circuit for generating extremely low-entangled approximate state designs

Wonjun Lee, Minki Hhan, Gil Young Cho +1

Random quantum states have various applications in quantum information science. We discover a new ensemble of quantum states that serve as an -approximate state -design while…

Quantum Lifting for Invertible Permutations and Ideal Ciphers

Alexandru Cojocaru, Minki Hhan, Qipeng Liu +2

In this work, we derive the first lifting theorems for establishing security in the quantum random permutation and ideal cipher models. These theorems relate the success probabilit…

Pseudorandom Function-like States from Common Haar Unitary

Minki Hhan, Shogo Yamada

Recent active studies have demonstrated that cryptography without one-way functions (OWFs) could be possible in the quantum world. Many fundamental primitives that are natural quan…

Does quantum lattice sieving require quantum RAM?

Beomgeun Cho, Minki Hhan, Taehyun Kim +2

In this paper, we study the requirement for quantum random access memory (QRAM) in quantum lattice sieving, a fundamental algorithm for lattice-based cryptanalysis. First, we obtai…

From the Hardness of Detecting Superpositions to Cryptography: Quantum Public Key Encryption and Commitments

Minki Hhan, Tomoyuki Morimae, Takashi Yamakawa

Recently, Aaronson et al. (arXiv:2009.07450) showed that detecting interference between two orthogonal states is as hard as swapping these states. While their original motivation w…
