Time-dependent Hamiltonian simulation (TDHS) is a critical task in quantum computing. Existing algorithms are generally biased with a small algorithmic error $\varepsilon$, and the gate complexity scales as $O(\text{poly}(1/\varepsilon))$…

The nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation based on three-level systems has wide applicability experimentally due to its simpler energy level structure requirement and inherent robustness from the geometric phase. However, in previous…
We investigate monotone circuits with local oracles [K., 2016], i.e., circuits containing additional inputs $y_i = y_i(\vec{x})$ that can perform unstructured computations on the input string $\vec{x}$. Let $\mu \in [0,1]$ be the locality…
