A Bernoulli phase-fitted finite difference method and wavenumber-explicit analysis for the one-dimensional Helmholtz equation

Ansgar Jüngel, Panchi Li, Zhiwei Sun et al.

We propose a Bernoulli phase-fitted (BPF) finite difference method for the Helmholtz equation on the interval $(0, L)$ with impedance boundary conditions. The scheme is derived from a complexified Scharfetter--Gummel discretization of the one-way factorization of the Helmholtz operator. It yields both a phase-fitted interior discretization and exact discrete impedance boundary closures. For the homogeneous problem, the method is exact for plane waves, so the scheme introduces neither numerical dispersion in the interior nor artificial reflection at the boundaries. For the inhomogeneous problem, we prove well-posedness, derive wavenumber-explicit stability estimates, and establish second-order consistency and convergence valid for all $kh\notinπ\mathbb Z$, where $k$ is the wavenumber and $h$ the grid size. In particular, under the fixed-resolution condition $kh\le s_0$ for some $0<s_0<π$ together with $kL\geπ$, the constants in the error bounds remain uniform with respect to the wavenumber, yielding a pollution-free convergence theory in the principal Nyquist regime. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical analysis and show favorable performance compared with standard and dispersion-corrected finite difference methods.

Multiparty quantum key agreement protocol secure against collusion attacks

Zhiwei Sun, Xiaoqiang Sun, Ping Wang

The fairness of a secure multi-party quantum key agreement (MQKA) protocol requires that all involved parties are entirely peer entities and can equally influence the outcome of the protocol to establish a shared key wherein no one can decide the shared key alone. However, it is found that parts of the existing MQKA protocols are sensitive to collusion attacks, i.e., some of the dishonest participants can collaborate to predetermine the final key without being detected. In this paper, a multi-party QKA protocol resisting collusion attacks is proposed. Different from previous QKA protocol resisting $N-1$ coconspirators or resisting $1$ coconspirators, we investigate the general circle-type MQKA protocol which can be secure against $t$ dishonest participants' cooperation. Here, $t < N$. We hope the results of the presented paper will be helpful for further research on fair MQKA protocols.
