Efficient Quantum Pseudorandomness from Hamiltonian Phase States

Authors: John Bostanci, Jonas Haferkamp, Dominik Hangleiter, and Alexander Poremba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 350, 20th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography (TQC 2025)

Abstract
Quantum pseudorandomness has found applications in many areas of quantum information, ranging from entanglement theory, to models of scrambling phenomena in chaotic quantum systems, and, more recently, in the foundations of quantum cryptography. Kretschmer (TQC '21) showed that both pseudorandom states and pseudorandom unitaries exist even in a world without classical one-way functions. To this day, however, all known constructions require classical cryptographic building blocks which are themselves synonymous with the existence of one-way functions, and which are also challenging to implement on realistic quantum hardware. In this work, we seek to make progress on both of these fronts simultaneously - by decoupling quantum pseudorandomness from classical cryptography altogether. We introduce a quantum hardness assumption called the Hamiltonian Phase State (HPS) problem, which is the task of decoding output states of a random instantaneous quantum polynomial-time (IQP) circuit. Hamiltonian phase states can be generated very efficiently using only Hadamard gates, single-qubit Z rotations and CNOT circuits. We show that the hardness of our problem reduces to a worst-case version of the problem, and we provide evidence that our assumption is plausibly fully quantum; meaning, it cannot be used to construct one-way functions. We also show information-theoretic hardness when only few copies of HPS are available by proving an approximate t-design property of our ensemble. Finally, we show that our HPS assumption and its variants allow us to efficiently construct many pseudorandom quantum primitives, ranging from pseudorandom states, to quantum pseudoentanglement, to pseudorandom unitaries, and even primitives such as public-key encryption with quantum keys.

Enabling Containerisation of Distributed Applications with Real-Time Constraints

Authors: Nasim Samimi, Luca Abeni, Daniel Casini, Mauro Marinoni, Twan Basten, Mitra Nasri, Marc Geilen, and Alessandro Biondi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 335, 37th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2025)

Abstract
Containerisation is becoming a cornerstone of modern distributed systems, thanks to their lightweight virtualisation, high portability, and seamless integration with orchestration tools such as Kubernetes. The usage of containers has also gained traction in real-time cyber-physical systems, such as software-defined vehicles, which are characterised by strict timing requirements to ensure safety and performance. Nevertheless, ensuring real-time execution of co-located containers is challenging because of mutual interference due to the sharing of the same processing hardware. Existing parallel computing frameworks such as Ray and its Kubernetes-enabled variant, KubeRay, excel in distributed computation but lack support for scheduling policies that allow guaranteeing real-time timing constraints and CPU resource isolation between containers, such as the SCHED_DEADLINE policy of Linux. To fill this gap, this paper extends Ray to support real-time containers that leverage SCHED_DEADLINE. To this end, we propose KubeDeadline, a novel, modular Kubernetes extension to support SCHED_DEADLINE. We evaluate our approach through extensive experiments, using synthetic workloads and a case study based on the MobileNet and EfficientNet deep neural networks. Our evaluation shows that KubeDeadline ensures deadline compliance in all synthetic workloads, adds minimal deployment overhead (in the order of milliseconds), and achieves lower worst-case response times, up to 4 times lower, than vanilla Kubernetes under background interference.

Cryptanalysis of Indistinguishability Obfuscations of Circuits over GGH13

Authors: Daniel Apon, Nico Döttling, Sanjam Garg, and Pratyay Mukherjee

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 80, 44th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2017)

Abstract
Annihilation attacks, introduced in the work of Miles, Sahai, and Zhandry (CRYPTO 2016), are a class of polynomial-time attacks against several candidate indistinguishability obfuscation (IO) schemes, built from Garg, Gentry, and Halevi (EUROCRYPT 2013) multilinear maps. In this work, we provide a general efficiently-testable property for two single-input branching programs, called partial inequivalence, which we show is sufficient for our variant of annihilation attacks on several obfuscation constructions based on GGH13 multilinear maps. We give examples of pairs of natural NC1 circuits, which - when processed via Barrington's Theorem - yield pairs of branching programs that are partially inequivalent. As a consequence we are also able to show examples of "bootstrapping circuits,'' (albeit somewhat artificially crafted) used to obtain obfuscations for all circuits (given an obfuscator for NC1 circuits), in certain settings also yield partially inequivalent branching programs. Prior to our work, no attacks on any obfuscation constructions for these settings were known.
