A Quantum "Magic Box" for the Discrete Logarithm Problem

In their foundational paper on pseudorandom bit generation, Blum and Micali showed that the discrete logarithm problem could be solved efficiently given a “magic box” oracle that computes the most significant bit of the discrete logarithm with a slight advantage over guessing. This magic box can be realized on a quantum computer with a new, simplified variant of Shor’s algorithm. The resulting ...

The Magic Box and Collage: Responding to the challenge of distributed intergenerational play

This paper explores playfulness between grandparents and grandchildren, especially when they are separated by distance, and investigates ideas to bridge this separation. We present the result of a three stage investigation; the first an observational study of co-located intergenerational play groups, the second a cultural probes study of distributed intergenerational playfulness, and finally a ...
