Pseudorandom Bits for Constant Depth Circuits with Few Arbitrary Symmetric Gates
We exhibit an explicitly computable ‘pseudorandom’ generator stretching l bits into m(l) = lΩ(log l) bits that look random to constant-depth circuits of size m(l) with log m...

A Geometric Approach to Information-Theoretic Private Information Retrieval
A t-private private information retrieval (PIR) scheme allows a user to retrieve the ith bit of an n-bit string x replicated among k servers, while any coalition of up to t server...

New Results on the Complexity of the Middle Bit of Multiplication
It is well known that the hardest bit of integer multiplication is the middle bit, i.e. MULn−1,n. This paper contains several new results on its complexity. First, the size s of...

Average-Case Computations - Comparing AvgP, HP, and Nearly-P
We examine classes of distributional problems defined in terms of polynomial-time decision algorithms with bounded error probability. The class AvgP [5] has been characterized in...

The Quantum Adversary Method and Classical Formula Size Lower Bounds
We introduce two new complexity measures for Boolean functions, which we name sumPI and maxPI. The quantity sumPI has been emerging through a line of research on quantum query com...

Prior Entanglement, Message Compression and Privacy in Quantum Communication
Consider a two-party quantum communication protocol for computing some function f : {0, 1}n × {0, 1}n → Z. We show that the first message of P can be compressed to O(k) classi...
