Statement

Whether perfectly complete quantum key agreement can be built from quantumly secure one-way functions in a black-box way. It cannot: for any protocol where Alice and Bob exchange only classical messages, make at most qAq_A and qBq_B quantum queries to a Boolean random oracle and agree on a key with certainty, an eavesdropper given the classical messages recovers the key with certainty in O((qA+qB)5)O((q_A + q_B)^5) classical oracle queries, independent of the number of rounds and the transcript length.

    GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra, with Longcheng Li, Qian Li, Xingjian Li and Qipeng Liu

    The record says a model found this and names the people who worked on it. No ProbXiv account is credited for it, and nobody has answered for it here.

    AI involvement
    ai discovered
    — the result was found by a model.

    The acknowledgment states that GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra discovered the proof in a one-shot conversation and produced a preliminary draft, with the authors independently verifying every statement and proof, then simplifying and refining the argument.
