Quantum Mechanics (QM) predicts the correlation between measurements performed in remote regions of a spatially spread entangled state to be higher than allowed by the intuitive concepts of Locality and Realism (LR). This high correlation…
One of the main problems in quantum complexity theory is that our understanding of the theory of QMA-completeness is not as rich as its classical analogue, the NP- completeness. In this paper we consider the clique problem in graphs, which…

To date, all proposed quantum algorithms for simulating quantum field theory (QFT) simulate (continuous-time) Hamiltonian lattice QFT as a stepping stone. Two overlooked issues are how large we can take the timestep in these simulations…
Quantum computing is an emerging technology that has the potential to revolutionize fields such as cryptography, machine learning, optimization, and quantum simulation. However, a major challenge in the realization of quantum algorithms on…
When it comes to NP, its natural definition, its wide applicability across scientific disciplines, and its timeless relevance, the writing is on the wall: There can be only one. Quantum NP, on the other hand, is clearly the apple that fell…
Recent work has demonstrated that discrete quantum walks, when extended to quantum cellular automata (QCA), can, in the continuum limit, reproduce relativistic wave equations and quantum field theories (QFTs), including free quantum…
Shortest Vector Problem is believed to be hard both for classical and quantum computers. Two of the three NIST post-quantum cryptosystems standardised by NIST rely on its hardness. Research on theoretical and practical performance of…

The Super-SAT or SSAT problem was introduced by Dinur et al.(2002,2003) to prove the NP-hardness of approximation of two popular lattice problems - Shortest Vector Problem(SVP) and Closest Vector Problem(CVP). They conjectured that SSAT is…
The symmetry of complex networks is a global property that has recently gained attention since MacArthur et al. 2008 showed that many real-world networks contain a considerable number of symmetries. These authors work with a very strict…
