We construct a pseudorandom generator which fools read-$k$ oblivious branching programs and, more generally, any linear length oblivious branching program, assuming that the sequence according to which the bits are read is known in advance.…

We investigate the classical communication over quantum channels when assisted by no-signaling (NS) and positive-partial-transpose-preserving (PPT) codes, for which both the optimal success probability of a given transmission rate and the…

In this paper we prove a space lower bound of $n^{\Omega(k)}$ for non-deterministic (syntactic) read-once branching programs ({\sc nrobp}s) on functions expressible as {\sc cnf}s with treewidth at most $k$ of their primal graphs. This lower…
