We present a linear time algorithm for computing an implicit linear space representation of a minimum cycle basis (MCB) in weighted partial 2-trees, i.e., graphs of treewidth two. The implicit representation can be made explicit in a…

We study the {\sc multicut on trees} and the {\sc generalized multiway Cut on trees} problems. For the {\sc multicut on trees} problem, we present a parameterized algorithm that runs in time $O^{*}(\rho^k)$, where $\rho = \sqrt{\sqrt{2} +…

We show how to search N items arranged on a $\sqrt{N}\times\sqrt{N}$ grid in time $O(\sqrt N \log N)$, using a discrete time quantum walk. This result for the first time exhibits a significant difference between discrete time and continuous…

We study the minimum spanning tree (MST) problem in the massively parallel computation (MPC) model. Our focus is particularly on the *strictly sublinear* regime of MPC where the space per machine is $O(n^\delta)$. Here $n$ is the number of…

We revisit thermal out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) in single-particle quantum systems, focusing on magnetic billiards. Using the stadium billiard as a testbed, we compute the thermal OTOC $C_T(t) = -\langle [x(t), p]^2 \rangle_\beta$…

Given a set of $n$ real numbers, the 3SUM problem is to decide whether there are three of them that sum to zero. Until a recent breakthrough by Gr{\o}nlund and Pettie [FOCS'14], a simple $\Theta(n^2)$-time deterministic algorithm for this…
