Quantum algorithms and circuits can, in principle, outperform the best non-quantum (classical) techniques for some hard computational problems. However, this does not necessarily lead to useful applications. To gauge the practical…
The set equality problem is to tell whether two sets $A$ and $B$ are equal or disjoint under the promise that one of these is the case. This problem is related to the Graph Isomorphism problem. It was an open problem to find any $\omega(1)$…

Given two sets A and B and two oracles O(A) and O(B) that can identify the elements of these sets respectively, the goal is to find an element common to both sets using minimum number of oracle queries. Each application of either O(A) or…
This paper considers the triangle finding problem in the CONGEST model of distributed computing. Recent works by Izumi and Le Gall (PODC'17), Chang, Pettie and Zhang (SODA'19) and Chang and Saranurak (PODC'19) have successively reduced the…
We show how a quantum walk can be used to find a marked edge or a marked complete subgraph of a complete graph. We employ a version of a quantum walk, the scattering walk, which lends itself to experimental implementation. The edges are…

In the Sparse Linear Regression (SLR) problem, given a $d \times n$ matrix $M$ and a $d$-dimensional query $q$, the goal is to compute a $k$-sparse $n$-dimensional vector $\tau$ such that the error $||M \tau-q||$ is minimized. This problem…
We consider the problem of searching a general $d$-dimensional lattice of $N$ vertices for a single marked item using a continuous-time quantum walk. We demand locality, but allow the walk to vary periodically on a small scale. By…
We show how to find all $k$ marked elements in a list of size $N$ using the optimal number $O(\sqrt{N k})$ of quantum queries and only a polylogarithmic overhead in the gate complexity, in the setting where one has a small quantum memory.…
Quantum computing promises to improve the information processing power to levels unreachable by classical computation. Quantum walks are heading the development of quantum algorithms for searching information on graphs more efficiently than…

We consider the recognition problem of the Dyck Language generalized for multiple types of brackets. We provide an algorithm with quantum query complexity $O(\sqrt{n}(\log n)^{0.5k})$, where $n$ is the length of input and $k$ is the maximal…
The spatial search problem aims to find a marked vertex of a finite graph using a dynamic with two constraints: (1) The walker has no compass and (2) the walker can check whether a vertex is marked only after reaching it. This problem is a…
One of the most important algorithmic applications of quantum walks is to solve spatial search problems. A widely used quantum algorithm for this problem, introduced by Childs and Goldstone [Phys. Rev. A 70, 022314 (2004)], finds a marked…

The search task is one of the most difficult when it comes to execution speed, and reducing the latter is important both when working with large data and with small samples, if they need to be processed frequently and in a limited time.…
