We develop a quantum version of the probability estimation framework [arXiv:1709.06159] for randomness generation with quantum side information. We show that most of the properties of probability estimation hold for quantum probability…
Quantum unitary synthesis addresses the problem of translating abstract quantum algorithms into sequences of hardware-executable quantum gates. Solving this task exactly is infeasible in general due to the exponential growth of the…
We consider effective field theories (EFTs) of scalar fields with broken Lorentz boosts, which arise by taking the decoupling and flat-space limits of the EFT of inflation, and derive constraints that must be satisfied by the corresponding…
This paper presents an elementary introduction to Consistent Quantum Theory (CQT), as developed by Griffiths and others over the past 25 years. The theory is a version of orthodox(Copenhagen) quantum mechanics, based on the notion that the…
We consider the general problem of the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) on weighted sequences. Weighted sequences are an extension of classical strings, where in each position every letter of the alphabet may occur with some probability.…
We introduce the problem of finding a satisfying assignment to a CNF formula that must further belong to a prescribed input subspace. Equivalent formulations of the problem include finding a point outside a union of subspaces (the…
We study the complexity of quantum query algorithms that make p queries in parallel in each timestep. This model is in part motivated by the fact that decoherence times of qubits are typically small, so it makes sense to parallelize quantum…
We investigate the Bethe--Salpeter description of mesons in the limit where one of the constituing quarks is infinitely heavy. To recover the non--relativistic quark model out of the Bethe--Salpeter formalism it is usual to assume that the…
We show that if k-SUM is hard, in the sense that the standard algorithm is essentially optimal, then a variant of the SETH called the Primal Treewidth SETH is true. Formally: if there is an $\varepsilon>0$ and an algorithm which solves SAT…
Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics may be used to construct reflectionless potentials and phase-equivalent potentials. The exactly solvable case of the $\lambda sech^2$ potential is used to show that for certain values of the strength…
In this article we establish exponential moment bounds, moment bounds in fractional order smoothness spaces, a uniform H\"older continuity in time, and strong convergence rates for a class of fully discrete exponential Euler-type numerical…
Linear-probing hash tables have been classically believed to support insertions in time $\Theta(x^2)$, where $1 - 1/x$ is the load factor of the hash table. Recent work by Bender, Kuszmaul, and Kuszmaul (FOCS'21), however, has added a new…
In recent years much effort was put into developing polynomial-time conditional lower bounds for algorithms and data structures in both static and dynamic settings. Along these lines we suggest a framework for proving conditional lower…
The extendibility of spacetime and the existence of weak solutions to the Einstein field equations beyond Cauchy horizons, is a crucial ingredient to examine the limits of General Relativity. Strong Cosmic Censorship serves as a firewall…
We propose a novel witness of temporal quantum entanglement using the imaginary component of the complex heat capacity - a measurable thermodynamic quantity in temperature-modulated calorimetry. By establishing a direct correspondence…
With the recent development of quantum information theory, some attempts exist to construct information theory beyond quantum theory. Here we consider hypothesis testing relative entropy and one-shot classical capacity, that is, the optimal…
Time plays a special role in Standard Quantum Theory. The concept of time observable causes many controversies there. In Event Enhanced Quantum Theory (in short: EEQT) Schroedinger's differential equation is replaced by a em piecewise…
The quantum theory (QT) and new stochastic approaches have no deterministic prediction for a single measurement or for a single time -series of events observed for a trapped ion, electron or any other individual physical system. The…
Quantum computers promise transformative speedups, but environmental noise destroys their fragile states. Conventional quantum error correction (QEC) encodes information redundantly across physical qubits, yet fails above a threshold of…
Quantum states can be subjected to classical measurements, whose incompatibility, or uncertainty, can be quantified by a comparison of certain entropies. There is a long history of such entropy inequalities between position and momentum.…
