There are distributed graph algorithms for finding maximal matchings and maximal independent sets in $O(\Delta + \log^* n)$ communication rounds; here $n$ is the number of nodes and $\Delta$ is the maximum degree. The lower bound by Linial…
We improve both upper and lower bounds for the distribution-free testing of monotone conjunctions. Given oracle access to an unknown Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ and sampling oracle access to an unknown distribution…
Quantum circuits currently constitute a dominant model for quantum computation. Our work addresses the problem of constructing quantum circuits to implement an arbitrary given quantum computation, in the special case of two qubits. We…
Since the introduction of retroactive data structures at SODA 2004, a major unsolved problem has been to bound the gap between the best partially retroactive data structure (where changes can be made to the past, but only the present can be…
We prove two new upper bounds for depth-2 linear circuits computing the $N$th disjointness matrix $D^{\otimes N}$. First, we obtain a circuit of size $O\big(2^{1.24485N}\big)$ over $\{0,1\}$. Second, we obtain a circuit of degree…
Let $P$ be a finite set of points in the plane in general position, that is, no three points of $P$ are on a common line. We say that a set $H$ of five points from $P$ is a $5$-hole in $P$ if $H$ is the vertex set of a convex $5$-gon…
Quantum circuits are considered more powerful than classical circuits and require exponential resources to simulate classically. Clifford circuits are a special class of quantum circuits that can be simulated in polynomial time but still…
The synthesis approaches for quantum circuits typically aim at minimizing the number of lines or gates. Given the tight restrictions on those logical resources in physical implementations, we propose to view the problem fundamentally…
We prove that the permutation computed by a reversible circuit with $\tilde{O}(nk\cdot \log(1/\varepsilon))$ random $3$-bit gates is $\varepsilon$-approximately $k$-wise independent. Our bound improves on currently known bounds in the…
Multiplication over binary fields is a crucial operation in quantum algorithms designed to solve the discrete logarithm problem for elliptic curve defined over $GF(2^n)$. In this paper, we present an algorithm for constructing quantum…
We show that most arithmetic circuit lower bounds and relations between lower bounds naturally fit into the representation-theoretic framework suggested by geometric complexity theory (GCT), including: the partial derivatives technique…
We give improved lower bounds for binary $3$-query locally correctable codes (3-LCCs) $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$. Specifically, we prove: (1) If $C$ is a linear design 3-LCC, then $n \geq 2^{(1 - o(1))\sqrt{k} }$. A design…
We use the concept of production matrices to show that there exist sets of $n$ points in the plane that admit $\Omega(42.11^n)$ crossing-free geometric graphs. This improves the previously best known bound of $\Omega(41.18^n)$ by Aichholzer…
We study the implementation of quantum channels with quantum computers while minimizing the experimental cost, measured in terms of the number of Controlled-NOT (C-NOT) gates required (single-qubit gates are free). We consider three…
We prove that Boolean matrices with bounded $\gamma_2$-norm or bounded normalized trace norm must contain a linear-sized all-ones or all-zeros submatrix, verifying a conjecture of Hambardzumyan, Hatami, and Hatami. We also present further…

Recently, Dvir, Golovnev, and Weinstein have shown that sufficiently strong lower bounds for linear data structures would imply new bounds for rigid matrices. However, their result utilizes an algorithm that requires an $NP$ oracle, and…
We propose the theory of Cayley graphs as a framework to analyse gate counts and quantum costs resulting from reversible circuit synthesis. Several methods have been proposed in the reversible logic synthesis literature by considering…
We initiate the study of the algorithmic problem of certifying lower bounds on the discrepancy of random matrices: given an input matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$, output a value that is a lower bound on $\mathsf{disc}(A) = \min_{x…
