We show that the rank of a depth-3 circuit (over any field) that is simple, minimal and zero is at most k^3\log d. The previous best rank bound known was 2^{O(k^2)}(\log d)^{k-2} by Dvir and Shpilka (STOC 2005). This almost resolves the…

A unitary 2-design can be viewed as a quantum analogue of a 2-universal hash function: it is indistinguishable from a truly random unitary by any procedure that queries it twice. We show that exact unitary 2-designs on n qubits can be…
