We show that, for any language in NP, there is an entanglement-resistant constant-bit two-prover interactive proof system with a constant completeness vs. soundness gap. The previously proposed classical two-prover constant-bit interactive proof systems are known not to be entanglement-resistant. This is currently the strongest expressive power of any known constant-bit answer multi-prover interactive proof system that achieves a constant gap. Our result is based on an oracularizing property of certain private information retrieval systems, which may be of independent interest.

We show that any number of parties can coherently exchange any one pure quantum state for another, without communication, given prior shared entanglement. Two applications of this fact to the study of multi-prover quantum interactive proof systems ar
e given. First, we prove that there exists a one-round two-prover quantum interactive proof system for which no finite amount of shared entanglement allows the provers to implement an optimal strategy. More specifically, for every fixed input string, there exists a sequence of strategies for the provers, with each strategy requiring more entanglement than the last, for which the probability for the provers to convince the verifier to accept approaches 1. It is not possible, however, for the provers to convince the verifier to accept with certainty with a finite amount of shared entanglement. The second application is a simple proof that multi-prover quantum interactive proofs can be transformed to have near-perfect completeness by the addition of one round of communication.
We consider information leakage to the user in private information retrieval (PIR) systems. Information leakage can be measured in terms of individual message leakage or total leakage. Individual message leakage, or simply individual leakage, is defi
ned as the amount of information that the user can obtain on any individual message that is not being requested, and the total leakage is defined as the amount of information that the user can obtain about all the other messages except the one being requested. In this work, we characterize the tradeoff between the minimum download cost and the individual leakage, and that for the total leakage, respectively. New codes are proposed to achieve these optimal tradeoffs, which are also shown to be optimal in terms of the message size. We further characterize the optimal tradeoff between the minimum amount of common randomness and the total leakage. Moreover, we show that under individual leakage, common randomness is in fact unnecessary when there are more than two messages.
In the conventional robust $T$-colluding private information retrieval (PIR) system, the user needs to retrieve one of the possible messages while keeping the identity of the requested message private from any $T$ colluding servers. Motivated by the
possible heterogeneous privacy requirements for different messages, we consider the $(N, T_1:K_1, T_2:K_2)$ two-level PIR system, where $K_1$ messages need to be retrieved privately against $T_1$ colluding servers, and all the messages need to be retrieved privately against $T_2$ colluding servers where $T_2leq T_1$. We obtain a lower bound to the capacity by proposing two novel coding schemes, namely the non-uniform successive cancellation scheme and the non-uniform block cancellation scheme. A capacity upper bound is also derived. The gap between the upper bound and the lower bounds is analyzed, and shown to vanish when $T_1=T_2$. Lastly, we show that the upper bound is in general not tight by providing a stronger bound for a special setting.
In a private information retrieval (PIR) system, the user needs to retrieve one of the possible messages from a set of storage servers, but wishes to keep the identity of requested message private from any given server. Existing efforts in this area
have made it clear that the efficiency of the retrieval will be impacted significantly by the amount of the storage space allowed at the servers. In this work, we consider the tradeoff between the storage cost and the retrieval cost. We first present three fundamental results: 1) a regime-wise 2-approximate characterization of the optimal tradeoff, 2) a cyclic permutation lemma that can produce more sophisticated codes from simpler ones, and 3) a relaxed entropic linear program (LP) lower bound that has a polynomial complexity. Equipped with the cyclic permutation lemma, we then propose two novel code constructions, and by applying the lemma, obtain new storage-retrieval points. Furthermore, we derive more explicit lower bounds by utilizing only a subset of the constraints in the relaxed entropic LP in a systematic manner. Though the new upper bound and lower bound do not lead to a more precise approximate characterization in general, they are significantly tighter than the existing art.
We investigate the problem of semantic private information retrieval (semantic PIR). In semantic PIR, a user retrieves a message out of $K$ independent messages stored in $N$ replicated and non-colluding databases without revealing the identity of th
e desired message to any individual database. The messages come with emph{different semantics}, i.e., the messages are allowed to have emph{non-uniform a priori probabilities} denoted by $(p_i>0,: i in [K])$, which are a proxy for their respective popularity of retrieval, and emph{arbitrary message sizes} $(L_i,: i in [K])$. This is a generalization of the classical private information retrieval (PIR) problem, where messages are assumed to have equal a priori probabilities and equal message sizes. We derive the semantic PIR capacity for general $K$, $N$. The results show that the semantic PIR capacity depends on the number of databases $N$, the number of messages $K$, the a priori probability distribution of messages $p_i$, and the message sizes $L_i$. We present two achievable semantic PIR schemes: The first one is a deterministic scheme which is based on message asymmetry. This scheme employs non-uniform subpacketization. The second scheme is probabilistic and is based on choosing one query set out of multiple options at random to retrieve the required message without the need for exponential subpacketization. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the semantic PIR capacity to exceed the classical PIR capacity with equal priors and sizes. Our results show that the semantic PIR capacity can be larger than the classical PIR capacity when longer messages have higher popularities. However, when messages are equal-length, the non-uniform priors cannot be exploited to improve the retrieval rate over the classical PIR capacity.
