In the present contribution we discuss the role of experimental limitations in the classical limit problem. We studied some simple models and found that Quantum Mechanics does not re-produce classical mechanical predictions, unless we…

Error correction will add so much overhead to large quantum computations that we suspect the most efficient algorithms will use a classical co-processor to do as much work as possible. We present a method to offload portions of a quantum…

We study the communication capabilities of a quantum channel under the most general channel model known as the one-shot model. Unlike classical channels that can only be used to transmit classical information (bits), a quantum channel can…

Quantum machine learning is receiving significant attention currently, but its usefulness in comparison to classical machine learning techniques for practical applications remains unclear. However, there are indications that certain quantum…

Quantum computers may achieve speedups over their classical counterparts for solving linear algebra problems. However, in some cases -- such as for low-rank matrices -- dequantized algorithms demonstrate that there cannot be an exponential…

Quantum algorithms can deliver asymptotic speedups over their classical counterparts. However, there are few cases where a substantial quantum speedup has been worked out in detail for reasonably-sized problems, when compared with the best…

Is the universe digital or analog? In this essay I argue that both classical and quantum physics include limits that prevent us from definitively answering that question. That quantum physics does so is no surprise. That classical physics…
