Learning a hidden parity function from noisy data, known as learning parity with noise (LPN), is an example of intelligent behavior that aims to generalize a concept based on noisy examples. The solution to LPN immediately leads to decoding…
The partial oracles framework is a quantum search algorithm that has the potential to exceed the quadratic speedup of Grover's algorithm, up to a theoretical maximum of an exponential speedup. Until now, however, the framework has lacked an…
