  • A Novel Mathematical Formulation of Density Functional Theory

    In this talk, I present my recent work with Simen Kvaal, where we developed a novel mathematical framework for density functional theory (DFT), the “gold standard method” used in large-scale many-particle quantum chemistry calculations. I present some preliminary results, where we address some open mathematical questions in DFT using our framework. 

  • Annual Gathering 2026

    The meeting will take place in Trondheim on February 24th , hosted by NTNU in room 03-058 “Helgasetr” https://link.mazemap.com/8pMsH4F6

  • Superposition Attacks Against LPN-Based Authentication Protocols (monthly QComSec track meeting)

    Speaker: Manuel Goulão Paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/1506 Title: Superposition Attacks Against LPN-Based Authentication Protocols Abstract: Quantum security most commonly encompasses only offline passive quantum attacks, where a quantum computer is used by an adversary to solve some computationally hard problem, e.g. factoring or discrete logarithm. However, we are witnessing major efforts for the development and deployment of […]

  • Encoding Combinatorial Problems with Integer Variables into Qubits

    Speaker:Franz G. Fuchs Title: Encoding Combinatorial Problems with Integer Variables into Qubits: An application to the MAX k-CUT  problem Abstract: The weighted MAX k-CUT problem involves partitioning a weighted undirected graph into k subsets, or colors, to maximize the sum of the weights of edges between vertices in different subsets. This problem has significant applications […]

  • Quantum LDPC codes (ComSec track April meeting)

    Speaker: Olai Mostad (Simula UiB) Title: Quantum LDPC codes Abstract: Recently, there has been some debate on how many qubits a quantum computer needs to be cryptographically relevant. Last year, the best educated guess was one million, and today it is 10,000. We will take a look at one of the main reasons for the drastic cut […]
