Complexity of Lattice Problems A Cryptographic Perspective Authors: Daniele Micciancio and Shafi Goldwasser The Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, vol. 671. Kluwer Academic Publishers. March 2002, 220 pages ISBN 0-7923-7688-9 [BibTeX] [Amazon] [Kluwer] Description Complexity of Lattice Problems: A Cryptographic Perspective is an essential reference for those researching ways in which lattice problems can be used to build cryptographic systems. It will also be of interest to those working in computational complexity, combinatorics, and foundations of cryptography. The book presents a self-contained overview of the state of the art in the complexity of lattice problems, with particular emphasis on problems that are related to the construction of cryptographic functions. Specific topics covered are the strongest known inapproximability result for the shortest vector problem; the relations between this and other computational lattice problems; an exposition of how cryptographic functions can be built and proven secure based on worst-case hardness assumptions about lattice problems; and a study of the limits of non-approximability of lattice problems. Some background in complexity theory, but no prior knowledge about lattices, is assumed. The aim of the authors is to make lattice-based cryptography accessible to a wide audience, ultimately yielding further research and applications. Complexity of Lattice Problems: A Cryptographic Perspective will be valuable to anyone working in this fast-moving field. It serves as an excellent reference, providing insight into some of the most challenging issues being examined today.

Lattice Theory and Geometry of Numbers Informally, a lattice is an infinite arrangement of points spaced with sufficient regularity that one can shift any point onto any other point by some symmetry of the arrangement. More formally, a lattice can be defined as a discrete subgroup of a finite-dimensional vector space (the subgroup is often required not to lie within any subspace of the vector space, which can be expressed formally by saying that the quotient of the space by the lattice is compact). The simplest and most commonly-studied example of a lattice (the "integer grid") is formed by the points all Cartesian coordinates of which are integers. Other types of lattices arise in crystallography and in sphere packing , where they are used to describe the locations of atoms or spheres. Lattices are also particularly important in the theory of periodic tilings , since they describe the set of translational symmetries of a tiling.

Lattice Computers A lattice is essentially a discrete analog of a vector space and is of importance, for example, in crystallography. In crystallography A3, the face-centered cubic lattice (found, for example, in crystalline argon), is based on a standard, space-efficient stacking of oranges or cannon balls. Below is a picture of a tiny lattice computer where the identical, synchronized processors (pictured as big spheres) are connected (by identical communication links) to A3-lattice nearest neighbors. This project has involved developing theoretical underpinning and algorithms for lattice-connected, parallel processing computers, which computers are intended to provide useful, natural, and provably controlled , efficient simulations of the motion of objects in space. The algorithms developed (and being developed) show that controlled, discrete, linear in real time, analog simulation of continuous motion is possible and feasible in lattice computers. Our algorithms to date can found in the REPRESENTATIVE PUBLICATIONS below together with Anil Shende 's Ph.D. dissertation, done under my direction:

Crystal Lattice Structures Previous Next Introduction Simple Cubic ... Exercises Face Centered Cubic In the Face Centered Cubic (FCC) unit cell there is one host atom at each corner and one host atom in each face. Since each corner atom contributes one eighth of its volume to the cell interior, and each face atom contributes one half of its volume to the cell interior (and there are six faces), then Z = The corner and face atoms touch along the face diagonal , and it is easy to show that the cube edge (a) is about 2.8r. Thus, the corner atoms do not touch one another. The packing efficiency is about 74%. This is the maximum packing efficiency for spheres of equal radius and is call closest packing . Thus a face centered lattice of atoms is also called Cubic Closest Packing (CCP). Previous Next Steven F. Watkins, Department of Chemistry, Louisiana State University

document.writeln(AAMB7); advanced search ADVERTISING JOBS ... Past issues articles Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics Comes of Age Quantum chromodynamics is the elegant but notoriously intractable theory of the strong interactions. Recent advances in numerical computer simulation are beginning to reveal, in impressive detail, what the theory predicts. Carleton DeTar and Steven Gottlieb February 2004 , page Lattice QCD In formulation, QCD and QED are strikingly similar. Both are gauge-invariant quantum field theories. The key difference is that photons in QED are neutral; so they can't interact directly with each other. The gluon is the QCD analog of the photon; it carries the strong force between quarks. But quite unlike photons, gluons do carry color charge, the analog of electric charge. So gluons interact directly with each other as well as with quarks. (See the article by Frank Wilczek in Physics Today, August 2000, page 22 That seemingly innocent change has dramatic consequences for phenomenology. It is the root of QCD's daunting complexity. Electrons, positrons, and photons can be separated and isolated at macroscopic distances. Quarks, antiquarks, and gluons cannot. This prohibition, called color confinement, assures that all the elementary particles (the hadrons) composed of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons come in precise color-neutral combinations. Loosely speaking, this means that they come either in quark-antiquark pairs (the mesons) or in triplets of quarks (the baryons). Several recently discovered "pentaquark" baryons appear to combine a quark triplet with a quark-antiquark pair (see

72. Surface Diffraction And The Reciprocal Lattice The most convenient way to link the real structure of the material to it s diffraction pattern is through the reciprocal lattice. http://www.cem.msu.edu/~cem924sg/Reciprocal.html

[Go back to CEM 924 Home Page Surface Diffraction and the Reciprocal Lattice The diffraction of either photons or electrons (sometimes neutrons) is one of the most powerful techniques for surface structure determination. Unfortunately, the diffraction pattern is not a direct representation of the real-space arrangement of the atoms in a solid or on a surface. The most convenient way to link the real structure of the material to it's diffraction pattern is through the reciprocal lattice. In order for measureable diffraction to occur, the wavelength of the interrogating wave-particle should be on the same order as the periodicity of the features. For atoms or molecules in a crystalline solid, this periodicity is a few Angstroms. This means that if we are using photons to examine the lattice spacing of a solid, their wavelength should be a few Angstroms (x-rays). Consider a 5 keV photon: Now consider a similar calculation for the de Broglie wavelength of a 20 eV electron: So electrons of a few tens of eV and x-rays of a few keV are suitable for diffraction from an atomic lattice. These energy particles are more strongly backscattered from a solid towards the source than transmitted. In the case of x-rays the technique is often called Laue or von Laue Backscatter Diffraction and in the case of electrons the technique is called low energy electron diffraction (LEED). The angle of diffraction of the wave-particle is governed by the Bragg equation. Constructive interference between two out-going waves only occurs if the pathlength difference between them is equal to an intergral number of wavelengths. For this to occur, the Bragg equation

(issue of 1 February 1999) Title and Authors 4 February 1999 Quantum Logic with an Optical Lattice Ivan Deutsch/University of New Mexico Laser egg carton. Interfering laser beams can hold atoms in a precise array. In this arrangement, the atoms could form the basis for a quantum computer. Quantum computers could potentially calculate much faster than the silicon-based computers of today. Their advantage is that quantum computer bits can remain in two states at once as they perform operations, unlike conventional bits, which must commit to "0" or "1." The problem for designers is that these quantum bits (qubits) must remain well isolated to preserve their quantum nature, and yet be easily accessible for manipulation by the computer. The 1 February PRL describes a new type of quantum logic gate that might, at least in theory, meet those seemingly contradictory requirements. Researchers suggest that neutral atoms trapped in an optical latticea series of potential wells created by the interference of laser beamsmight offer advantages over the charged ions and atomic nuclei that are currently used. One of the most promising ways to build a quantum computer so far has been to trap ultracold charged ions in electric fields and manipulate them using lasers. But since these ions are charged, they interact readily with stray electric fields in the environment and are thus extremely susceptible to decoherencea loss of quantum character that prevents qubits from remaining in two states. Ivan Deutsch of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and Poul Jessen of the University of Arizona in Tucson and their colleagues propose using neutral atoms trapped in an optical lattice for quantum computing. Neutral atoms, they reason, will be less willing to interact with their environment. Moreover, atoms trapped in different wells of an optical lattice hardly influence one another, so a million atoms can potentially be operated upon at once.
