I enjoyed this conversation with Yael and Daniele! Thanks @SimonsInstitute for the opportunity! #cryptography #security
In this episode of Polylogues, @science_eye sits down Yael Tauman Kalai and Daniele Micciancio to discuss developments in lattices and FHE, the gap between theory and practice, and the unique culture of crypto as a field. https://t.co/epmulOz587

Entanglement is a complex, yet fundamental property of quantum mechanics where the fate of particles are intertwined with each other irrespective of the distance separating them. This quantum pheno…

Thanks @SimonsInstitute! This was a fun conversation and I enjoyed it a lot :) #cryptography #CAPCHA #AI #encryption
In this episode of Polylogues, @science_eye sits down with Moni Naor for a wide-ranging discussion of Naor’s path in the field, intersections of cryptography and complexity, the cryptographic technology behind CAPTCHA, and highlights of his own research. https://t.co/Iqwa8qOIhx

I enjoyed writing this article about how #mathematical models offer insights into what makes populations conform or disagree with crowd behavior! #appliedmath #socialnetwork
The June issue of SIAM News is now available! In this edition, @science_eye describes an enhanced #mathematical framework that enables a nuanced exploration of the spread of cultural phenomena—like traits and beliefs—within a population. Check it out! https://t.co/2gk6SWB9xi

“It’s a lot of fun for me to see things I thought about some time ago have unexpected new applications. It’s like as a parent, when you set your kid free and they grow up and do mysterious, unexpected things.” — Tamar Ziegler, mathematician https://t.co/IPBsVeU3RR

To make progress on one of number theory’s most elementary questions, two mathematicians turned to an unlikely source.

Happy to share my latest for @TheSIAMNews! I had fun learning about the #aerodynamics of bird flight for this one! #evolution, #math, #physics, @roskildeuni
The December issue of SIAM News is now live! In this edition, @science_eye overviews a recent study that derived a simple #mathematical equation to succinctly capture the wing flapping frequency a flying #animal must maintain to remain airborne. Read more: https://t.co/79RnM5SbvR
