A key limitation of autoregressive Transformers is the large memory needed at inference-time to cache all previous key-value (KV) embeddings. Prior works address this by compressing the KV cache, but often assume specific structural…
In fault-tolerant quantum circuit synthesis, T gates supplied via magic states dominate space-time cost, while Clifford gates incur negligible overhead. Conventional flows minimize AND count in an {XOR, AND, NOT} basis as a proxy for T,…

Suppose $\mathsf{Est}$ is a randomized estimation algorithm that uses $n$ random bits and outputs values in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We show how to execute $\mathsf{Est}$ on $k$ adaptively chosen inputs using only $n + O(k \log(d + 1))$ random bits…

The $k$-means is a popular clustering objective, although it is inherently non-robust and sensitive to outliers. Its popular seeding or initialization called $k$-means++ uses $D^{2}$ sampling and comes with a provable $O(\log k)$…
Prior work of Beverland et al. has shown that any exact Clifford+$T$ implementation of the $n$-qubit Toffoli gate must use at least $n$ $T$ gates. Here we show how to get away with exponentially fewer $T$ gates, at the cost of incurring a…

Quantum circuits of many qubits are extremely difficult to realize; thus, the number of qubits is an important metric in a quantum circuit design. Further, scalable and reliable quantum circuits are based on Clifford + T gates. An efficient…
The notion of semi-random sources, also known as Santha-Vazirani (SV) sources, stands for a sequence of n bits, where the dependence of the i'th bit on the previous i-1 bits is limited for every $i\in[n]$. If the dependence of the i'th bit…
