Large-cage occupation and quantum dynamics of hydrogen molecules in sII clathrate hydrates

Richard Gaal, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri

Hydrogen clathrate hydrates are ice-like crystalline substances in which hydrogen molecules are trapped inside polyhedral cages formed by the water molecules. Small cages can host only a single H-2 molecule, while each large cage can be occupied by up to f ...

On Quantum Secure Compressing Pseudorandom Functions

Ritam Bhaumik

In this paper we characterize all 2n-bit-to-n-bit Pseudorandom Functions (PRFs) constructed with the minimum number of calls to n-bit-to-n-bit PRFs and arbitrary number of linear functions. First, we show that all two-round constructions are either classic ...

Hunting for tetraquarks in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Angelo Esposito, Claudio Andrea Manzari

Ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions constitute an ideal setup to look for exotic hadrons because of their low event multiplicity and the possibility of an efficient background rejection. We propose to look for fourquark states produced by photon-photon fu ...

Flux Tube S-Matrix Bootstrap

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Andrea Guerrieri, Aditya Hebbar
