Wiesner’s quantum money scheme relies on the fact that factoring is hard for classical computers.

Let A, B, and C be distinct qubits.  If A and B are in a Bell pair, then B and C can also be in a Bell pair.

No quantum-mechanical procedure maps both

Which of the following desceibe a fast twitching muscle?

Consider a leveraged 5-year inverse floater that makes annual payments, has an annual tenor, and annual reset dates. The coupon rate at year t is 20% – 2 r1,t-1{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”r1,t-1″} where r1,t-1{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”r1,t-1″}is the annually-compounded spot rate on a 1-year STRIPS at year t – 1. Suppose that the yield curve is flat at 5% (continuously compounded). Which of the following is closest to the duration of this leveraged inverse floater? Hint: the leverage here assumes that for every fixed-coupon paying bond, you have two floating rate notes and two zero coupon bonds.

What is the swap rate on a one-year plain vanilla fixed-for-floating swap if the fixed leg makes semiannual payments in six-months and one year from now given the discount factors below? Choose the semiannually compounding rate and not the per-period rate.
