Arithmetic operations are an important component of many quantum algorithms. As such, coming up with optimized quantum circuits for these operations leads to more efficient implementations of the corresponding algorithms. In this paper, we…
We give an algorithm for computing all roots of polynomials over a univariate power series ring over an exact field $\mathbb{K}$. More precisely, given a precision $d$, and a polynomial $Q$ whose coefficients are power series in $x$, the…
Let $n\geq 8$ be divisible by 4. The Clifford-cyclotomic gate set $\mathcal{G}_n$ is the universal gate set obtained by extending the Clifford gates with the $z$-rotation $T_n = \mathrm{diag}(1,\zeta_n)$, where $\zeta_n$ is a primitive…
The paper studies the question of existence of polynomials with given roots over associative non-commutative rings with identity. It is shown that in the case of an associative division ring for arbitrary n elements of this ring there…
We design a deterministic subexponential time algorithm that takes as input a multivariate polynomial $f$ computed by a constant-depth circuit over rational numbers, and outputs a list $L$ of circuits (of unbounded depth and possibly with…
We study a nonlinear analogue of additive commutators, known as \textit{polynomial commutators}, defined by $p(ab) - p(ba)$ for a polynomial $p \in F[x]$ and elements $a, b$ in an algebra $R$ over a field $F$. Originally introduced by…
Gate elimination is the primary technique for proving explicit lower bounds against general Boolean circuits, including Li and Yang's state-of-the-art $3.1n - o(n)$ bound for affine dispersers (STOC 2022). Every circuit lower bound is…
We present two noncommutative algebras over a field of characteristic zero that each posses a family of actions by cyclic groups of order $2n$, represented in $n \times n$ matrices, requiring generators of degree $3n$.
We use the concept of production matrices to show that there exist sets of $n$ points in the plane that admit $\Omega(42.11^n)$ crossing-free geometric graphs. This improves the previously best known bound of $\Omega(41.18^n)$ by Aichholzer…
Let $U_{k,N}$ denote the Boolean function which takes as input $k$ strings of $N$ bits each, representing $k$ numbers $a^{(1)},\dots,a^{(k)}$ in $\{0,1,\dots,2^{N}-1\}$, and outputs 1 if and only if $a^{(1)} + \cdots + a^{(k)} \geq 2^N.$…
In this paper, we give some counting results on integer polynomials of fixed degree and bounded height whose distinct non-zero roots are multiplicatively dependent. These include sharp lower bounds, upper bounds and asymptotic formulas for…
We obtain improved lower bounds for additive spanners, additive emulators, and diameter-reducing shortcut sets. Spanners and emulators are sparse graphs that approximately preserve the distances of a given graph. A shortcut set is a set of…
In this paper, we exclusively utilize CNOT gates for implementing permutation groups generated by more than two elements. In Lemma 1, we recall that three CNOT gates are both necessary and sufficient to execute a two-qubit swap gate…
We continue the study of the circuit class GC^0, which augments AC^0 with unbounded-fan-in gates that compute arbitrary functions inside a sufficiently small Hamming ball but must be constant outside it. While GC^0 can compute functions…
We are interested in finding a nonlinear polynomial $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that solves the minimal surface equation. Even though no explicit solution is found in this article, we investigate constraints that a polynomial solution must obey.…
