Symmetric Bernoulli determinant conjecture

From papers

Let QnQ_n be the random symmetric matrix whose upper-diagonal entries are independent Bernoulli random variables. Symmetric determinant conjecture. Almost surely,

detQn=n(1/2+o(1))n.|\det Q_n|=n^{(1/2+o(1))n}.

This is the symmetric analogue of the determinant estimate for nonsymmetric Bernoulli matrices. The source notes that nonsingularity had recently been proved, but the sharp determinant asymptotic remained open there.
