This article details a significant convergence in quantum cryptography research where two separate teams independently utilized OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra to derive proofs for unclonable encryption, highlighting AI's emerging role as an autonomous catalyst for scientific discovery rather than merely a tool for drafting text or code. The simultaneous emergence of these findings challenges traditional notions of independent discovery and raises critical questions about intellectual property attribution in the age of generative models driving complex mathematical breakthroughs.

AI helped produce two proofs for the same cryptography problem

GDELTJuly 31, 20265 min read

Last Thursday Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate student Seyoon Ragavan sent a new quantum cryptography proof to his friend Yao-Ting Lin, a doctoral student at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Lin could not look at it right away, though. He was in a meeting with his adviser, U.C.S.B. professor Prabhanjan Ananth, where he heard about another proof of the same result. After the meeting, he e-mailed back to Ragavan, “We are definitely living in strange times.” That day the researchers submitted two preprint papers to arXiv.org. One was by Ragavan. The other was by Ananth and University of California, Los Angeles, professor Amit Sahai.…
