A previously developed quantum search algorithm for solving 1-SAT problems in a single step is generalized to apply to a range of highly constrained k-SAT problems. We identify a bound on the number of clauses in satisfiability problems for…
We reconsider the one-step replica-symmetry-breaking (1RSB) solutions of two random combinatorial problems: k-XORSAT and k-SAT. We present a general method for establishing the stability of these solutions with respect to further steps of…
Random $K$-satisfiability ($K$-SAT) is a model system for studying typical-case complexity of combinatorial optimization. Recent theoretical and simulation work revealed that the solution space of a random $K$-SAT formula has very rich…
We study quantum advantage in one-step rendezvous games on simple graphs analytically, numerically, and using noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processors. Our protocols realise the recently discovered [arXiv:2207.14404] optimal…
Current quantum devices execute specific tasks that are hard for classical computers and have the potential to solve problems such as quantum simulation of material science and chemistry, even without error correction. For practical…
Random $k$-SAT is the single most intensely studied example of a random constraint satisfaction problem. But despite substantial progress over the past decade, the threshold for the existence of satisfying assignments is not known precisely…
It is found that the statistical level fluctuations of the AQC 3-SAT problem undergo a transition from a poisson (regular) fluctuation form to a form consistent with the predictions of Random Matrix Theory. We present data which suggests…
Several fragments of the satisfiability problem have been studied in the literature. Among these, Linear 3-SAT is a satisfaction problem in which each clause (viewed as a set of literals) intersects with at most one other clause; moreover,…
Quantum gate set tomography (GST) has emerged as a promising method for the full characterization of quantum logic gates. In contrast to quantum process tomography (QPT), GST self-consistently and correctly accounts for state preparation…
The Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) is of central importance in both theory and practice. Yet, most provable guarantees for quantum algorithms rely exclusively on Grover-type methods that cap the possible advantage at only quadratic…
The XOR-satisfiability (XORSAT) problem requires finding an assignment of $n$ Boolean variables that satisfy $m$ exclusive OR (XOR) clauses, whereby each clause constrains a subset of the variables. We consider random XORSAT instances,…
We consider quantum search on graphs. Recently, it has been shown that the graph properties like connectivity, global symmetry, or regularity cannot serve as a reliable criteria that must be satisfied by a graph to allow a successful…
We consider the problem of constructing quantum operations or channels, if they exist, that transform a given set of quantum states $\{\rho_1, \dots, \rho_k\}$ to another such set $\{\hat\rho_1, \dots, \hat\rho_k\}$. In other words, we must…
We introduce a methodology for generating random multi-qubit stabilizer codes based on solving a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) on random bipartite graphs. This framework allows us to enforce stabilizer commutation, $X/Z$ balancing,…
Quantum computation holds promise for the solution of many intractable problems. However, since many quantum algorithms are stochastic in nature they can only find the solution of hard problems probabilistically. Thus the efficiency of the…
We review the understanding of the random constraint satisfaction problems, focusing on the q-coloring of large random graphs, that has been achieved using the cavity method of the physicists. We also discuss the properties of the phase…
Using elementary rigorous methods we prove the existence of a clustered phase in the random $K$-SAT problem, for $K\geq 8$. In this phase the solutions are grouped into clusters which are far away from each other. The results are in…
The factor graph of an instance of a symmetric constraint satisfaction problem on n Boolean variables and m constraints (CSPs such as k-SAT, k-AND, k-LIN) is a bipartite graph describing which variables appear in which constraints. The…
We study an exactly solvable version of the famous random Boolean satisfiability problem, the so called random XOR-SAT problem. Rare events are shown to affect the combinatorial ``phase diagram'' leading to a coexistence of solvable and…
The random $k$-SAT problem serves as a model that represents the 'typical' $k$-SAT instances. This model is thought to undergo a phase transition as the clause density changes, and it is believed that the random $k$-SAT problem is primarily…
