We consider deterministic algorithms for the well-known hidden subgroup problem ($\mathsf{HSP}$): for a finite group $G$ and a finite set $X$, given a function $f:G \to X$ and the promise that for any $g_1, g_2 \in G, f(g_1) = f(g_2)$ iff…

In this paper, we consider the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) over the class of semi-direct product groups $\mathbb{Z}_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_q$, for p and q prime. We first present a classification of these groups in five classes. Then, we…
It is well known that quantum computers can efficiently find a hidden subgroup $H$ of a finite Abelian group $G$. This implies that after only a polynomial (in $\log |G|$) number of calls to the oracle function, the states corresponding to…

Following the example of Shor's algorithm for period-finding in the integers, we explore the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) for discrete infinite groups. On the hardness side, we show that HSP is NP-hard for the additive group of rational…
A quantum computer can efficiently find the order of an element in a group, factors of composite integers, discrete logarithms, stabilisers in Abelian groups, and `hidden' or `unknown' subgroups of Abelian groups. It is already known how to…
The state hidden subgroup problem (StateHSP) is a recent generalization of the hidden subgroup problem. We present an algorithm that solves the non-abelian StateHSP over $N$ copies of the dihedral group of order $8$ (the symmetries of a…
Hidden Subgroup Problem(HSP) seeks to identify an unknown subgroup H of a group G for a given injective function f defined on cosets of H. Here we present an initialization-free quantum algorithm for solving HSP in the case where G is a…
We present the view of quantum algorithms as a search-theoretic problem. We show that the Fourier transform, used to solve the Abelian hidden subgroup problem, is an example of an efficient elimination observable which eliminates a constant…
