Low-dimensional bound entanglement with one-way distillable cryptographic key
PublicationIn this paper, we provide a class of bound entangled states that have positive distillable secure key rate. The smallest state of this kind is 4 circle times 4, which shows that peculiar security contained in bound entangled states does not need high-dimensional systems. We show that for these states a positive key rate can be obtained by one-way Devetak-Winter (DW) protocol. Subsequently, the volume of bound entangled key-distillable...

Dynamic Perfect hashing with finite-state automata
PublicationMinimalna doskonała funkcja mieszająca dostarcza odwzorowania zbioru n niepowtarzalnych słów w zwarty zakres n liczb całkowitych. Gdy jest realizowane za pomocą automatów skończonych, odwzorowanie wynika z porządku słów (zwykle alfabetycznego) w zbiorze. Dodanie nowych słów zmieniłoby porządek słów rozpoznawanych przez automat, zmieniając całe odwzorowanie i czyniąc je bezużytecznym w wielu dziedzinach. Dlatego nazywamy je statycznym....
