We consider the problem of deciding whether an $n$-qubit unitary (or $n$-bit Boolean function) is $\varepsilon_1$-close to some $k$-junta or $\varepsilon_2$-far from every $k$-junta, where $k$-junta unitaries act non-trivially on at most…
A function $f\colon \{-1,1\}^n \to \{-1,1\}$ is a $k$-junta if it depends on at most $k$ of its variables. We consider the problem of tolerant testing of $k$-juntas, where the testing algorithm must accept any function that is…
In the $k$-junta testing problem, a tester has to efficiently decide whether a given function $f:\{0,1\}^n\rightarrow \{0,1\}$ is a $k$-junta (i.e., depends on at most $k$ of its input bits) or is $\epsilon$-far from any $k$-junta. Our main…
We give a non-adaptive algorithm that makes $2^{\tilde{O}(\sqrt{k\log(1/\varepsilon_2 - \varepsilon_1)})}$ queries to a Boolean function $f:\{\pm 1\}^n \rightarrow \{\pm 1\}$ and distinguishes between $f$ being $\varepsilon_1$-close to some…
In this article we develop quantum algorithms for learning and testing juntas, i.e. Boolean functions which depend only on an unknown set of k out of n input variables. Our aim is to develop efficient algorithms: - whose sample complexity…
We study the problem of testing whether an unknown $n$-variable Boolean function is a $k$-junta in the distribution-free property testing model, where the distance between functions is measured with respect to an arbitrary and unknown…
We prove that any non-adaptive algorithm that tests whether an unknown Boolean function $f: \{0, 1\}^n\to \{0, 1\}$ is a $k$-junta or $\epsilon$-far from every $k$-junta must make $\widetilde{\Omega}(k^{3/2} / \epsilon)$ many queries for a…
We prove a $k^{-\Omega(\log(\varepsilon_2 - \varepsilon_1))}$ lower bound for adaptively testing whether a Boolean function is $\varepsilon_1$-close to or $\varepsilon_2$-far from $k$-juntas. Our results provide the first superpolynomial…
In this paper, we consider the problem of tolerant junta testing for boolean function. Compared with the prior work by Blais et al., we provide improved results in terms of both the parameter gap and query complexity. Compared with the…
The problem of tolerant junta testing is a natural and challenging problem which asks if the property of a function having some specified correlation with a $k$-Junta is testable. In this paper we give an affirmative answer to this…
We present an adaptive algorithm with one-sided error for the problem of junta testing for Boolean function under the challenging distribution-free setting, the query complexity of which is $\widetilde O(k)/\epsilon$. This improves the…

Given a Boolean function $f$ provided as a black-box with $n$ variables, this paper will propose a quantum algorithm for testing if a certain variable is junta or $\epsilon$-far from being junta. The proposed algorithm constructs another…
We consider the problem of testing and learning quantum $k$-juntas: $n$-qubit unitary matrices which act non-trivially on just $k$ of the $n$ qubits and as the identity on the rest. As our main algorithmic results, we give (a) a…
This papers considers the junta testing problem in a recently introduced ``relative error'' variant of the standard Boolean function property testing model. In relative-error testing we measure the distance from $f$ to $g$, where $f,g:…
The main conceptual contribution of this paper is identifying a previously unnoticed connection between two central problems in computational learning theory and property testing: agnostically learning conjunctions and tolerantly testing…
In this paper, we study the following variant of the junta learning problem. We are given oracle access to a Boolean function $f$ on $n$ variables that only depends on $k$ variables, and, when restricted to them, equals some predefined…
Given a black-box representing an unknown Boolean function $f$ of $n$ variables, in this paper we propose a fast quantum algorithm to test whether or not a certain variable in the function $f$ is a junta variable. The proposed algorithm…
We introduce a new model for testing graph properties which we call the \emph{rejection sampling model}. We show that testing bipartiteness of $n$-nodes graphs using rejection sampling queries requires complexity $\widetilde{\Omega}(n^2)$.…
We consider the problems of testing and learning quantum $k$-junta channels, which are $n$-qubit to $n$-qubit quantum channels acting non-trivially on at most $k$ out of $n$ qubits and leaving the rest of qubits unchanged. We show the…
