A canonical result about satisfiability theory is that the 2-SAT problem can be solved in linear time, despite the NP-hardness of the 3-SAT problem. In the quantum 2-SAT problem, we are given a family of 2-qubit projectors $\Pi_{ij}$ on a…
A long-standing open problem in quantum complexity theory is whether ${\sf QMA}$, the quantum analogue of ${\sf NP}$, is equal to ${\sf QMA}_1$, its one-sided error variant. We show that ${\sf QMA}={\sf QMA}^{\infty}= {\sf QMA}_1^{\infty}$,…
In computer science, many search problems are reducible to decision problems, which implies that finding a solution is as hard as deciding whether a solution exists. A quantum analogue of search-to-decision reductions would be to ask…
After examining the {\bf P} versus {\bf NP} problem against the Kleene-Rosser paradox of the $\lambda$-calculus [94], it was found that it represents a counter-example to NP-completeness. We prove that it contradicts the proof of Cook's…
Testing the symmetries of quantum states and channels provides a way to assess their usefulness for different physical, computational, and communication tasks. Here, we establish several complexity-theoretic results that classify the…
The class of languages having polynomial-time classical or quantum interactive proof systems ($\mathsf{IP}$ or $\mathsf{QIP}$, respectively) is identical to $\mathsf{PSPACE}$. We show that $\mathsf{PSPACE}$ (and so $\mathsf{QIP}$) is subset…
We construct 2-query, quasi-linear size probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) with arbitrarily small constant soundness, improving upon Dinur's 2-query quasi-linear size PCPs with soundness $1-\Omega(1)$. As an immediate corollary, we…
We demonstrate that machine learning provides a powerful tool for discovering new approximate quantum error-correcting (AQEC) codes beyond conventional algebraic frameworks. Building upon direct observations through hybrid quantum-classical…
While quantum computers assume existence of state preparation process $|0\rangle$, CPT symmetry of physics says that performing such process in CPT symmetry perspective, e.g. reversing used EM impulses ($V(t)\to V(-t)$), we should get its…
In recent years, quantum annealing has gained the status of being a promising candidate for solving various optimization problems. Using a set of hard 2-satisfiabilty (2-SAT) problems, consisting of upto 18-variables problems, we analyze…
We show that for all $\varepsilon>0$, for sufficiently large $q\in\mathbb{N}$ power of $2$, for all $\delta>0$, it is NP-hard to distinguish whether a given $2$-Prover-$1$-Round projection game with alphabet size $q$ has value at least…
We prove that integer programming with three quantifier alternations is $NP$-complete, even for a fixed number of variables. This complements earlier results by Lenstra and Kannan, which together say that integer programming with at most…
We present a proof architecture for \(P \neq NP\) based on an upper--lower clash in polytime-capped conditional description length. We construct an efficiently samplable family of SAT instances \(Y\) such that every satisfying witness for…
In a recent paper by S. Gubin [cs/0701023v1], a polynomial-time solution to the 3SAT problem was presented as proof that P=NP. The proposed algorithm cannot be made to work, which I shall demonstrate.
It is shown that any two clauses in an instance of 3SAT sharing the same terminal which is positive in one clause and negated in the other can imply a new clause composed of the remaining terms from both clauses. Clauses can also imply…
We prove that P = NP implies #P = FP by exploiting the topological structure of 3SAT solution spaces. The argument proceeds via a dichotomy: any polynomial-time algorithm for 3SAT either operates without global knowledge of the…
What is the minimum amount of information and time needed to solve 2SAT? When the instance is known, it can be solved in polynomial time, but is this also possible without knowing the instance? Bei, Chen and Zhang (STOC '13) considered a…
I describe one quantum approach to solving 3-satisfiability (3-SAT), the well known problem in computer science. The approach is based on repeatedly measuring the truth value of the clauses forming the 3-SAT proposition using a…
In complexity theory, there exists a famous unsolved problem whether NP can be P or not. In this paper, we discuss this aspect in SAT (satisfiability) problem, and it is shown that the SAT can be solved in plynomial time by means of quantum…
In the symbolic verification of cryptographic protocols, a central problem is deciding whether a protocol admits an execution which leaks a designated secret to the malicious intruder. Rusinowitch & Turuani (2003) show that, when…
