	Constant-round Luby–Rackoff, quantum Resolved for r=7. Carolan (Compressed Permutation Oracles, ePrint 2025/1734, STOC 2026) proves seven-round Luby-Rackoff with truly random round functions is indistinguishable from a random invertible permutation against Omega(N^{1/12}) bidirectional quantum queries (his Theorem 6.5), exactly this page’s conjecture with r=7 – and states, without full proof here, that the result lifts to pseudorandom round functions (the strong qPRP form) by a standard hybrid argument. The paper’s own abstract calls this ‘resolving an open question of (Zhandry, 2012).’	Feistel Networks Pseudorandom Permutations Quantum Query Complexityotherequivalenceresearch-solved
	Composability implies circular security Open with no partial result in either direction. The converse – circular security plus limited homomorphism gives full composability – is the source paper’s Theorem 6; this direction, which would make the two properties essentially equivalent, is conjectured there and nothing has been published towards it. 7 open	Circular Security Fully Homomorphic Encryptionequivalence
	OWF minimality, non-black-box reductions Open when the classical security implication is not witnessed by a black-box reduction between the two games. Settled affirmatively whenever it is, for uniform and non-uniform quantum adversaries alike, with the implementation reduction left arbitrary. 5 open	Black Box Separations One Way Functions Quantum Cryptographyequivalence
	Ring-LWE error parity Open: whether recovering the Ring-LWE error modulo two is as hard as recovering the error itself. The easy direction is trivial; the source states it has no formal reduction for this one and relies on two heuristics instead, one of which changes the error distribution. 6 open	Learning With Errorsequivalence
	Compressed permutation oracle soundness Still open as formalized, but the underlying research question – can the compressed-oracle technique be extended to permutations at all – is now resolved in the affirmative by a different construction. Carolan (Compressed Permutation Oracles, ePrint 2025/1734, STOC 2026) proves his own compressed permutation oracle unconditionally sound. That oracle is, in his own words, ‘similar to that of Unruh [Unr23], though we explicitly and unitarily maintain injectivity of the database’ – a change that goes beyond resolving Unruh’s own left-open choice of how the flipping operator acts on non-injective inputs. Whether Unruh’s original construction (for an arbitrary such choice) is itself sound remains, on the reading defended here, unestablished.
