广义概率论中通过半无限规划离散化的掷硬币不可能性

On the impossibility of coin-flipping in generalized probabilistic theories via discretizations of semi-infinite programs

Jamie Sikora, John H. Selby

摘要:

硬币翻转是一项基本的密码学任务,其中空间上分离的Alice和Bob希望在通信信道上生成公平的硬币翻转。众所周知,在经典理论和量子理论中,理想的抛硬币都是不可能的。在这篇文章中,我们给出了一个简短的证明,证明了在广义无限制假设下,这在广义概率论中也是不可能的。我们的证明主要依赖于将作弊策略作为半无限程序的公式,即,有无穷多个约束的锥规划这引入了一种新的形式主义,它可能对量子社区有独立的兴趣。

英文摘要:

Coin-flipping is a fundamental cryptographic task where a spatially separated Alice and Bob wish to generate a fair coin-flip over a communication channel. It is known that ideal coin-flipping is impossible in both classical and quantum theory. In this work, we give a short proof that it is also impossible in generalized probabilistic theories under the Generalized No-Restriction Hypothesis. Our proof relies crucially on a formulation of cheating strategies as semi-infinite programs, i.e., cone programs with infinitely many constraints. This introduces a new formalism which may be of independent interest to the quantum community.
