>> ABSTRACT: We examine the scrambling speed of random reversible
>> classical
>>     circuits with long-range gates. In particular, we ask the following
>> question: how short can a reversible circuit be to represent ciphers
>> that
>> could possibly be indistinguishable from a random permutation if
>> probed with
>>    only a polynomial number of queries. To address this question, we cast
>> encryption by block ciphers in terms of operator spreading in a dual
>> space
>> of Pauli strings, a formulation which allows us to characterize
>> classical
>>    ciphers by using tools well known in the analysis of quantum many-body
>> systems. We connect plaintext and ciphertext attacks to out-of-time
>> order
>> correlators (OTOCs) and quantify the quality of ciphers using
>> measures of
>>       delocalization in string space such as participation ratios and
>> corresponding entropies obtained from the wave function amplitudes in
>> string
>> space. These results carry over to random quantum circuits and inform
>> us on
>> the structure required in order that such circuits scramble as fast
>> as a
>> Black Hole -- and yet to a much stricter (cryptographic) standard! More
>> interesting from a practical point of view is that such short ciphers
>> enable
>> an efficient (polynomial) scheme for computing directly on encrypted
>> data, a
>>           physics-inspired alternative to homomorphic encryption.
