What Is the Use of Collision Detection (in Wireless Networks)?
We show that the asymptotic gain in the time complexity when using collision detection depends heavily on the task by investigating three prominent problems for wireless networks,...

Scalable Quantum Consensus for Crash Failures
We present a scalable quantum algorithm to solve binary consensus in a system of n crash-prone quantum processes. The algorithm works in O(polylog n) time sending O(n polylog n) qu...
