The design of a good algorithm to solve NP-hard combinatorial approximation problems requires specific domain knowledge about the problems and often needs a trial-and-error problem solving approach. Graph coloring is one of the essential…

A quantum algorithm is known that solves an unstructured search problem in a number of iterations of order $\sqrt{d}$, where $d$ is the dimension of the search space, whereas any classical algorithm necessarily scales as $O(d)$. It is shown…

We observe that any $T(n)$ time algorithm (quantum or classical) for several central linear algebraic problems, such as computing $\det(A)$, $tr(A^3)$, or $tr(A^{-1})$ for an $n \times n$ integer matrix $A$, yields a $O(T(n)) + \tilde…
