2Authored explanation
The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.
The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: BPP has deterministic subexponential simulations under weaker hypotheses, and standard hardness assumptions imply BPP=P.
The exact unresolved remainder is: Unconditional polynomial-time derandomization remains open.
A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - Give an unconditional deterministic polynomial-time simulation for every BPP machine. - Or prove a language in BPP lies outside P.
