Given v1,…,vm∈Cd with ∥vi∥2=α for all i∈[m] as input and suppose ∑i=1m∣⟨u,vi⟩∣2=1 for every unit vector u∈Cd, Weaver's discrepancy problem asks for a partition S1,S2 of [m], such that ∑i∈Sj∣⟨u,vi⟩∣2≤1−θ for some universal constant θ, every unit vector u∈Cd and every j∈{1,2}. We prove that this problem can be solved deterministically in polynomial time when m≥49d2.
