Randomness is a fundamental feature in nature and a valuable resource for applications ranging from cryptography and gambling to numerical simulation of physical and biological systems. Random numbers, however, are difficult to characterize…

Many quantum algorithms, to compute some property of a unitary $U$, require access not just to $U$, but to $cU$, the unitary with a control qubit. We show that having access to $cU$ does not help for a large class of quantum problems. For a…
