The conditions for the propagation of unidirectional plane gravitational waves at exactly the speed of light are set up in the form of two null Killing equations in terms of Ashtekar variables and imposed as operators on the quantum states of the system. Owing to symmetry reduction the gauge group of the system reduces formally from SU(2) to U(1). Under the assumption of equal spacing of the holonomy eigenvalues, the solutions are not normalizable in the sense of the usual inner product on U(1). Taking over the inner product from the genuine gauge group SU(2) of LQG renders the obtained states normalizable, nevertheless fluctuations of geometrical quantities remain divergent. In consequence, the solutions of the (non-commuting) Killing conditions have to be renormalized. Two kinds of renormalization are presented. The combination of the occurrence of non-commuting Killing operators and the necessity of renormalization indicates fluctuations of the propagation speed, i. e. dispersion of gravitational waves. Finally the same methods are applied to the Hamiltonian constraint with the same result concerning normalizability. After renormalization the constraint is not exactly satisfied any more, which suggests the presence of some kind of interacting matter.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143819734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To implement Grover’s algorithm, a quantum circuit capable of performing the target cipher operations must be constructed. In this paper, we propose a quantum circuit implementation scheme for the involutive lightweight block cipher (IVLBC) block cipher. We utilized the DORCIS tool to implement the quantum circuit for the S-box and applied Gaussian elimination to construct the quantum circuit for matrix multiplication. Subsequently, we evaluated the overall quantum resource consumption required for the implementation. Based on this, we performed a quantum attack on IVLBC using Grover’s algorithm, calculating the attack cost using the NCT gate library, and further analyzed its security. Finally, we conducted a comparative analysis of the classical attack complexity and quantum attack complexity of IVLBC, highlighting the potential of using quantum complexity as a standard for future security assessments.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143805864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MKN solutions, sometimes called periodic Schwarzschild, are physically regular, have no struts or singularite, but are asymptotically Kasner.

Group field theory models can be seen as an extension of matrix and tensor models by additional data, and are traditionally defined through a functional integral whose perturbative expansion generates a sum over discrete geometries. More recently, some efforts have been directed towards formulations of group field theory based on a Hilbert space and operators, in particular in applications to cosmology. This is an attempt to review some of these formulations and their main ideas, to disentangle these constructions as much as possible from applications and phenomenology, and to put them into a wider context of quantum gravity research.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using embedding diagrams, we visualize the geometry and demonstrate that these objects exhibit a complex structure, distinct from standard single-throat wormholes. We further analyze the geodesic motion in such spacetimes. The solutions are derived from Einstein’s equations by coupling a phantom scalar field to nonlinear electrodynamics, and we show that distinct scalar field profiles can generate the same spacetime geometry. Additionally, we examine the energy conditions and demonstrate that, for specific parameter choices, all energy conditions can be partially satisfied in certain regions of spacetime.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While soft theorems in supersymmetric theories have a rich history, they have only been chronicled for specific examples due to the fact that they are usually derived with technical Feynman diagrammatics or amplitudes methods. By contrast, we show that one can compute soft theorems non-perturbatively for entire supermultiplets in one line of algebra. This formalism is directly applicable to the most general supersymmetric theory: one with an arbitrary matter content, number of supercharges, and spacetime dimension. We give many explicit examples illustrating the scope and dexterity of this framework.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143790142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results reveal the absence of overdamped modes, with all detected QNMs exhibiting oscillatory behaviour. Additionally, for large values of the rescaled mass parameter, the QNMs of the noncommutative wormhole transition smoothly to those of the classical Schwarzschild wormhole, validating the accuracy of the spectral method.
