Current quantum computing hardware is restricted by the availability of only few, noisy qubits which limits the investigation of larger, more complex molecules in quantum chemistry calculations on quantum computers in the near-term. In this…

We prove that quantum computation is polynomially equivalent to classical probabilistic computation with an oracle for estimating the value of simple sums, quadratically signed weight enumerators. The problem of estimating these sums can be…
The motivation for this paper is to study the complexity of constant-width arithmetic circuits. Our main results are the following. 1. For every k > 1, we provide an explicit polynomial that can be computed by a linear-sized monotone…
Traditional algorithms for simulating quantum computers on classical ones require an exponentially large amount of memory, and so typically cannot simulate general quantum circuits with more than about 30 or so qubits on a typical PC-scale…

We address the problems of constructing quantum convolutional codes (QCCs) and of encoding them. The first construction is a CSS-type construction which allows us to find QCCs of rate 2/4. The second construction yields a quantum…
The two-user computation broadcast problem is introduced as the setting where User $1$ wants message $W_1$ and has side-information $W_1'$, User $2$ wants message $W_2$ and has side-information $W_2'$, and $(W_1, W_1', W_2, W_2')$ may have…

Branch-and-bound is a widely used technique for solving combinatorial optimisation problems where one has access to two procedures: a branching procedure that splits a set of potential solutions into subsets, and a cost procedure that…
