This paper studies complete $k$-Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs), where an $n$-variable instance has exactly one nontrivial constraint for each subset of $k$ variables, i.e., it has $\binom{n}{k}$ constraints. A recent work started a…
The Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT), in particular 3SAT with its bounded clause size, is a well-studied problem since a wide range of decision problems can be reduced to it. Due to its high complexity, examining potentials of quantum…
An efficient quantum algorithm is proposed to solve in polynomial time the parity problem, one of the hardest problems both in conventional quantum computation and in classical computation, on NMR quantum computers. It is based on the…
The outcomes of quantum mechanical experiments are inherently random. It is therefore necessary to develop stringent methods for quantifying the degree of statistical uncertainty about the results of quantum experiments. For the…
We present a deterministic approximation algorithm to compute logarithm of the number of `good' truth assignments for a random k-satisfiability (k-SAT) formula in polynomial time (by `good' we mean that violate a small fraction of clauses).…
We consider the following problem: given three sets of real numbers, output a word-RAM data structure from which we can efficiently recover the sign of the sum of any triple of numbers, one in each set. This is similar to a previous work by…
While quantum state tomography is notoriously hard, most states hold little interest to practically-minded tomographers. Given that states and unitaries appearing in Nature are of bounded gate complexity, it is natural to ask if efficient…

We study the quantum query complexity of finding a certificate for a d-regular, k-level balanced NAND formula. Up to logarithmic factors, we show that the query complexity is Theta(d^{(k+1)/2}) for 0-certificates, and Theta(d^{k/2}) for…
A generalized quantum search algorithm, where phase inversions for the marked state and the prepared state are replaced by $\pi/2$ phase rotations, is realized in a 2-qubit NMR heteronuclear system. The quantum algorithm searches a marked…
We describe a simple quantum algorithm for preparing $K$ copies of an $N$-dimensional quantum state whose amplitudes are given by a quantum oracle. Our result extends a previous work of Grover, who showed how to prepare one copy in time…
This note considers Kak's observer-reference model of quantum information, where it is shown that qubits carry information that is sqrt n / ln n times classical information, where n is the number of components in the measurement system, to…
We study algorithms for solving three problems on strings. The first one is the Most Frequently String Search Problem. The problem is the following. Assume that we have a sequence of $n$ strings of length $k$. The problem is finding the…
As a signal recovery algorithm, compressed sensing is particularly useful when the data has low-complexity and samples are rare, which matches perfectly with the task of quantum phase estimation (QPE). In this work we present a new…
