We present a language $L_n$ which is recognizable by a probabilistic finite automaton (PFA) with probability $1 - \epsilon$ for all $\epsilon > 0$ with $O(log^2n)$ states, with a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) with O(n) states, but a…

In this paper, we introduce classically time-controlled quantum automata or CTQA, which is a reasonable modification of Moore-Crutchfield quantum finite automata that uses time-dependent evolution and a "scheduler" defining how long each…
