Efficient quantum circuit research and implementation for 16-bit S-boxes based on composite field by Lei Zhang, Guoyuan Li, Jingchen Dai, Ruipeng Hong, Chaoen Xiao, Jianxin Wang, Yifan Zhang

“…This method relies on normal bases representation to construct composite field structures, decomposing high-dimensional multiplicative inverse into low-dimensional subdomain operations through isomorphic mapping, thereby significantly reducing the quantum cost of nonlinear component. In the linear component, a dynamic optimal pivot selection strategy is proposed to effectively optimize the Gaussian elimination process while maintaining the row echelon form of the matrix, thereby reducing the number of CNOT gates. …”

Modeled sustainability impacts of increasing pork consumption among adults in the United States by Zach Conrad, Zach Conrad, Vincent Repoulis, Catherine Zavela

“…A food substitution model was constructed to evaluate the change in each sustainability impact when 1–3 servings of beef, poultry, seafood, eggs, or legumes were replaced by pork.ResultsModeled substitution of beef with pork was associated with reductions in GHGE, land, pesticides, and fertilizer nutrients by 11–35%, and substitution of seafood with pork was associated with reductions in cumulative energy demand by 6% and diet cost by <1%. All other substitutions led to an increase in sustainability impacts of up to 5%, including all outcomes associated with substituting poultry, eggs, and legumes with pork.DiscussionThe US federal government can play an important role in improving data collection methods that distinguish between pork and other meats. …”
