Impossibility of adversarial self-testing and secure sampling

Self-testing is the task where spatially separated Alice and Bob cooperate to deduce the inner workings of untrusted quantum devices by interacting with them in a classical manner. We examine the task above where Alice and Bob do not trust each other which we call adversarial self-testing. We show that adversarial self-testing implies secure sampling -- a task that we introduce where mistrustful Alice and Bob wish to sample from a joint probability distribution with the guarantee that an honest party's marginal is not biased. By extending impossibility results in two-party quantum cryptography, we give a simple proof that both of these tasks are impossible in all but trivial settings.Comment: 6 pages, 3 Figure

Recent Advances in Optical Limiting Properties of Fluorinated Graphene Oxides

There is a substantial interest in finding materials with high nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of materials because of its attractive applications in optical limiting for safety protections. In an effort to develop highly performing optical limiting materials, recently we have found that fluorination of graphene oxides leads to improvement in their NLO properties
