There&amp;#x27;s a blog post by Nikhil here that explains the proof of the discrepancy result that implies Kadison-Singer: https://windowsontheory.org/2013/07/11/discrepancy-graphs-an... The main result is a theorem that replaces a Chernoff bound (saying here that a random partition has discrepancy logarithmic in the number of vectors with high probability) with a bound that says achieves a better bound on the discrepancy, independent of the number of vectors, at the cost of replacing the &amp;quot;with high probability&amp;quot; with…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1306.3969/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
