On the representation of Boolean and real functions as Hamiltonians for quantum computing

S Hadfield - ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing, 2021 - dl.acm.org
Mapping functions on bits to Hamiltonians acting on qubits has many applications in
quantum computing. In particular, Hamiltonians representing Boolean functions are required …

The polynomial method strikes back: Tight quantum query bounds via dual polynomials

M Bun, R Kothari, J Thaler - Proceedings of the 50th Annual ACM …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
The approximate degree of a Boolean function f is the least degree of a real polynomial that
approximates f pointwise to error at most 1/3. The approximate degree of f is known to be a …

Lower bounds on stabilizer rank

S Peleg, A Shpilka, BL Volk - Quantum, 2022 - quantum-journal.org
Abstract The $\textit {stabilizer rank} $ of a quantum state $\psi $ is the minimal $ r $ such
that $\left|\psi\right\rangle=\sum_ {j= 1}^ r c_j\left|\varphi_j\right\rangle $ for $ c_j\in\mathbb …

Limits on representing boolean functions by linear combinations of simple functions: Thresholds, relus, and low-degree polynomials

RR Williams - arXiv preprint arXiv:1802.09121, 2018 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of representing Boolean functions exactly by" sparse" linear
combinations (over $\mathbb {R} $) of functions from some" simple" class ${\cal C} $. In …

Quantum algorithms and approximating polynomials for composed functions with shared inputs

M Bun, R Kothari, J Thaler - Quantum, 2021 - quantum-journal.org
We give new quantum algorithms for evaluating composed functions whose inputs may be
shared between bottom-level gates. Let $ f $ be an $ m $-bit Boolean function and consider …
