In this study, a distinctive feature of quantum computation (QC) is characterized. To this end, a seemingly-powerful classical computing model, called "stochastic ensemble machine (SEnM)," is considered. The SEnM runs with an ensemble…

The widely held belief that BQP strictly contains BPP raises fundamental questions: Upcoming generations of quantum computers might already be too large to be simulated classically. Is it possible to experimentally test that these systems…

Properties of Boolean functions can often be tested much faster than the functions can be learned. However, this advantage usually disappears when testers are limited to random samples of a function $f$--a natural setting for data…

We study the classical simulability of a polynomial-size quantum circuit $C_n$ on $n$ qubits followed by sparse classical post-processing (SCP) on $m$ bits, where $m \leq n \leq {\rm poly}(m)$. The SCP is described by a non-zero Boolean…
