We consider the selection problem on a completely connected network of $n$ processors with no shared memory. Each processor initially holds a given numeric item of $b$ bits allowed to send a message of $\max ( b, \lg n )$ bits to another…
Population protocols are a popular model of distributed computing, in which randomly-interacting agents with little computational power cooperate to jointly perform computational tasks. Inspired by developments in molecular computation, and…
In thermodynamics, quantum coherences - superpositions between energy eigenstates - behave in distinctly nonclassical ways. Recently mathematical frameworks have emerged to account for these features and have provided a range of novel…

We explore bounds of {\em time-space tradeoffs} in language recognition on {\em two-way finite automata} for some special languages. We prove: (1) a time-space tradeoff upper bound for recognition of the languages $L_{EQ}(n)$ on {\em…
We show how to search N items arranged on a $\sqrt{N}\times\sqrt{N}$ grid in time $O(\sqrt N \log N)$, using a discrete time quantum walk. This result for the first time exhibits a significant difference between discrete time and continuous…

Quantum non-local correlations and the acausal, spooky action at a distance suggest a discord between quantum theory and special relativity. We propose a resolution for this discord by first observing that there is a problem of time in…
In this work, we establish the first separation between computation with bounded and unbounded space, for problems with short outputs (i.e., working memory can be exponentially larger than output size), both in the classical and the quantum…
We revisit the $k$-mismatch problem in the streaming model on a pattern of length $m$ and a streaming text of length $n$, both over a size-$\sigma$ alphabet. The current state-of-the-art algorithm for the streaming $k$-mismatch problem, by…
Quantitative trading is an integral part of financial markets with high calculation speed requirements, while no quantum algorithms have been introduced into this field yet. We propose quantum algorithms for high-frequency statistical…

Let $S$ be a planar $n$-point set. A triangulation for $S$ is a maximal plane straight-line graph with vertex set $S$. The Voronoi diagram for $S$ is the subdivision of the plane into cells such that all points in a cell have the same…
The assignment problem takes as input two finite point sets S and T and establishes a correspondence between points in S and points in T, such that each point in S maps to exactly one point in T, and each point in T maps to at least one…
