We construct a classical oracle proving that, in a relativized setting, the set of languages decidable by an efficient quantum verifier with a quantum witness (QMA) is strictly bigger than those decidable with access only to a classical…

We prove lower bounds on complexity measures, such as the approximate degree of a Boolean function and the approximate rank of a Boolean matrix, using quantum arguments. We prove these lower bounds using a quantum query algorithm for the…

We present a simple and general simulation technique that transforms any black-box quantum algorithm (a la Grover's database search algorithm) to a quantum communication protocol for a related problem, in a way that fully exploits the…

We bound separations between the entangled and classical values for several classes of nonlocal $t$-player games. Our motivating question is whether there is a family of $t$-player XOR games for which the entangled bias is $1$ but for which…

The *algebrization barrier*, proposed by Aaronson and Wigderson (STOC '08, ToCT '09), captures the limitations of many complexity-theoretic techniques based on arithmetization. Notably, several circuit lower bounds that overcome the…

We show that for any Boolean function f on {0,1}^n, the bounded-error quantum communication complexity of XOR functions $f\circ \oplus$ satisfies that $Q_\epsilon(f\circ \oplus) = O(2^d (\log\|\hat f\|_{1,\epsilon} + \log…

Buhrman showed that an efficient communication protocol implies a reliable XOR game protocol. This idea rederives Linial and Shraibman's lower bounds of communication complexity, which was derived by using factorization norms, with worse…

The 2-Forrelation problem provides an optimal separation between classical and quantum query complexity and is also the problem used for separating $\mathsf{BQP}$ and $\mathsf{PH}$ relative to an oracle. A natural question is therefore to…

We give an exponential separation between one-way quantum and classical communication protocols for a partial Boolean function (a variant of the Boolean Hidden Matching Problem of Bar-Yossef et al.) Earlier such an exponential separation…

Network coordination - synchronising traffic signals, scheduling trains, assigning communication slots requires minimising pairwise costs across coupled systems. These problems are NP-hard yet share a common Fourier-sparse structure…

Parity (XOR) classification requires detecting discrete, high-order feature interactions that smooth classical kernels cannot efficiently capture. We study how quantum kernel advantage depends on parity complexity, the number of features…
