One hears a most unexpected refinement in the hallowed halls of quantum financeâwhere division polynomials and rational points have conspired to whisper secrets best kept silent. The verification of superpositions now proceeds with scandalous efficiency.
Society was much diverted by the recent symposium at the Athenaeum of Elliptic Curiosities, where Lord Montgomery of the Class Group Estate and the Honourable Sharif of Asiacrypt unveiled a most delicate improvement to the verification of quantum banknotes. Though no note was duplicatedâsuch vulgarity remains beyond reachâtheir method, leveraging the quiet elegance of rational points and quadratic twists, accelerates verification by a factor whispered to be O(logâ´p). It is said the superposition of elliptic curves now reveals its cardinality with unseemly haste. We are given to understand certain purists in the House of Cryptography have retired to their country estates in quiet protest, muttering about 'the erosion of no-cloning decorum.' Still, the methodâs utility cannot be denied, and several salons in the Quadratic District have already invited the duo for private demonstrations. One wonders, though: when efficiency flirts this closely with subterfuge, can propriety long survive?
