Continuum Free-Energy Computing
Trey Li
Building on nonintrinsic Landau theory, we introduce continuum free-energy computing as a new computing paradigm in which problem instances are encoded in programmable free-energy…

The Nonintrinsic Sector of Landau Theory
Trey Li
Landau theory usually treats free-energy coefficients as intrinsic parameters fixed by thermodynamic variables. We show that externally written microscale fields can survive coarse…

Quantum Covert Communication under Extreme Adversarial Control
Trey Li
Secure quantum communication traditionally assumes that the adversary controls only the public channel. We consider a more powerful adversary who can demand private information of…
