Open problems related to quantum query complexity

S Aaronson - ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing, 2021 - dl.acm.org
I offer a case that quantum query complexity still has loads of enticing and fundamental open
problems—from relativized QMA versus QCMA and BQP versus IP, to time/space tradeoffs …

Certified randomness from quantum supremacy

S Aaronson, SH Hung - Proceedings of the 55th Annual ACM …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We propose an application for near-term quantum devices: namely, generating
cryptographically certified random bits, to use (for example) in proof-of-stake …

Unitary property testing lower bounds by polynomials

A She, H Yuen - arXiv preprint arXiv:2210.05885, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study unitary property testing, where a quantum algorithm is given query access to a
black-box unitary and has to decide whether it satisfies some property. In addition to …

A game of quantum advantage: linking verification and simulation

DS França, R Garcia-Patron - Quantum, 2022 - quantum-journal.org
We present a formalism that captures the process of proving quantum superiority to skeptics
as an interactive game between two agents, supervised by a referee. Bob, is sampling from …

On the complexity of sampling from shallow Brownian circuits

G Bentsen, B Fefferman, S Ghosh, MJ Gullans… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
While many statistical properties of deep random quantum circuits can be deduced, often
rigorously and other times heuristically, by an approximation to global Haar-random …

Moments of random quantum circuits and applications in random circuit sampling

Y Liu - 2021 - uwspace.uwaterloo.ca
Random quantum circuits and random circuit sampling (RCS) have recently garnered
tremendous attention from all sub-fields of the quantum information community, especially …

Inherently quantum lower bounds on computational complexity

WW Kretschmer - 2023 - repositories.lib.utexas.edu
Computational complexity theory is usually phrased in terms of decision problems and
Boolean functions, whose inputs and outputs are purely classical. However, many quantum …

Quantum Oracle Separations from Complex but Easily Specified States

N LaRacuente - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.07247, 2021 - arxiv.org
A foundational question in quantum computational complexity asks how much more useful a
quantum state can be in a given task than a comparable, classical string. Aaronson and …

Unitarization Through Approximate Basis

J Cook - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.00785, 2021 - arxiv.org
We introduce the problem of unitarization. Unitarization is the problem of taking $ k $ input
quantum circuits that produce orthogonal states from the all $0 $ state, and create an output …
