We describe two BQP-complete problems concerning properties of sparse graphs having a certain symmetry. The graphs are specified by efficiently computable functions which output the adjacent vertices for each vertex. Let i and j be two…
In this paper, we consider two versions of the Text Assembling problem. We are given a sequence of strings $s^1,\dots,s^n$ of total length $L$ that is a dictionary, and a string $t$ of length $m$ that is texts. The first version of the…
We generalize quantum-classical PCPs, first introduced by Weggemans, Folkertsma and Cade (TQC 2024), to allow for $q$ quantum queries to a polynomially-sized classical proof ($\mathsf{QCPCP}_{Q,c,s}[q]$). Exploiting a connection with the…
Machine learning is considered to be one of the most promising applications of quantum computing. Therefore, the search for quantum advantage of the quantum analogues of machine learning models is a key research goal. Here, we show that…
In this paper we show that the following problem is NP-complete: Given an alphabet $\Sigma$ and two strings over $\Sigma$, the question is whether there exists a permutation of $\Sigma$ which is a subsequence of both of the given strings.
Given strings $P$ and $Q$ the (exact) string matching problem is to find all positions of substrings in $Q$ matching $P$. The classical Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm [SIAM J. Comput., 1977] solves the string matching problem in linear time…

Quantum computation represents a computational paradigm whose distinctive attributes confer the ability to devise algorithms with asymptotic performance levels significantly superior to those achievable via classical computation. Recent…
A quantum constraint problem is a frustration-free Hamiltonian problem: given a collection of local operators, is there a state that is in the ground state of each operator simultaneously? It has previously been shown that these problems…
Given a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$, the string matching problem is a task to find all occurrences of $P$ in $T$. In this study, we propose an algorithm that solves this problem in $O((n + m)q)$ time considering…
Given a pattern string $P$ of length $n$ and a query string $T$ of length $m$, where the characters of $P$ and $T$ are drawn from an alphabet of size $\Delta$, the {\em exact string matching} problem consists of finding all occurrences of…
In this paper, I first establish -- via methods other than the Gottesman-Knill theorem -- the existence of an infinite set of instances of simulating a quantum circuit to decide a decision problem that can be simulated classically. I then…
We consider the classical exact multiple string matching problem. Our solution is based on $q$-grams combined with pattern superimposition, bit-parallelism and alphabet size reduction. We discuss the pros and cons of the various…
We study the power of the bounded-width consistency algorithm in the context of the fixed-template Promise Constraint Satisfaction Problem (PCSP). Our main technical finding is that the template of every PCSP that is solvable in bounded…
Given a sequence $S$ of length $n$, a letter-duplicated subsequence is a subsequence of $S$ in the form of $x_1^{d_1}x_2^{d_2}\cdots x_k^{d_k}$ with $x_i\in\Sigma$, $x_j\neq x_{j+1}$ and $d_i\geq 2$ for all $i$ in $[k]$ and $j$ in $[k-1]$.…

Longest common substring (LCS), longest palindrome substring (LPS), and Ulam distance (UL) are three fundamental string problems that can be classically solved in near linear time. In this work, we present sublinear time quantum algorithms…
