Comment on 'The aestivation hypothesis for resolving Fermi's paradox'
Charles H. Bennett, Robin Hanson, C. Jess Riedel
In their article [arXiv:1705.03394], 'That is not dead which can eternal lie: the aestivation hypothesis for resolving Fermi's paradox', Sandberg et al. try to explain the Fermi pa…
Quantum Cryptography II: How to re-use a one-time pad safely even if P=NP
Charles H. Bennett, Gilles Brassard, Seth Breidbart
When elementary quantum systems, such as polarized photons, are used to transmit digital information, the uncertainty principle gives rise to novel cryptographic phenomena unachiev…
On the security of key distribution based on Johnson-Nyquist noise
Charles H. Bennett, C. Jess Riedel
We point out that arguments for the security of Kish's noise-based cryptographic protocol have relied on an unphysical no-wave limit, which if taken seriously would prevent any cor…
Information Distance
Charles H. Bennett, Peter Gacs, Ming Li +2
While Kolmogorov complexity is the accepted absolute measure of information content in an individual finite object, a similarly absolute notion is needed for the information distan…
Quantum Reverse Shannon Theorem
Charles H. Bennett, Igor Devetak, Aram W. Harrow +2
Dual to the usual noisy channel coding problem, where a noisy (classical or quantum) channel is used to simulate a noiseless one, reverse Shannon theorems concern the use of noisel…
Can closed timelike curves or nonlinear quantum mechanics improve quantum state discrimination or help solve hard problems?
Charles H. Bennett, Debbie Leung, Graeme Smith +1
We study the power of closed timelike curves (CTCs) and other nonlinear extensions of quantum mechanics for distinguishing nonorthogonal states and speeding up hard computations. I…
