A new model of quantum computation is considered, in which the connections between gates are programmed by the state of a quantum register. This new model of computation is shown to be more powerful than the usual quantum computation, e. g.…
We apply a hybrid evolutionary algorithm to minimize the depth of circuits in quantum computing. More specifically, we evaluate two different variants of the algorithm. In the first approach, we combine the evolutionary algorithm with an…
The computational efficiency of quantum mechanics can be defined in terms of the qubit circuit model, which is characterized by a few simple properties: each computational gate is a reversible transformation in a connected matrix group;…
We show a relation, based on parallel repetition of the Magic Square game, that can be solved, with probability exponentially close to $1$ (worst-case input), by $1D$ (uniform) depth $2$, geometrically-local, noisy (noise below a…
Research efforts of the past fifty years have led to a development of linear integer programming as a mature discipline of mathematical optimization. Such a level of maturity has not been reached when one considers nonlinear systems subject…
We show that on graphs with n vertices, the 2-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm requires at most O(n^2/log(n)) iterations to reach stabilization. This in particular shows that the previously best, trivial upper bound of O(n^2) is…
We consider the problem of coded distributed computing where a large linear computational job, such as a matrix multiplication, is divided into $k$ smaller tasks, encoded using an $(n,k)$ linear code, and performed over $n$ distributed…

We prove that any exact quantum algorithm searching an ordered list of N elements requires more than \frac{1}{\pi}(\ln(N)-1) queries to the list. This improves upon the previously best known lower bound of {1/12}\log_2(N) - O(1). Our proof…
We study a class of linear network coding (LNC) schemes, called circular-shift LNC, whose encoding operations consist of only circular-shifts and bit-wise additions (XOR). Formulated as a special vector linear code over GF($2$), an…
In this work, we prove the strongest known lower bounds for QAC$^0$, allowing polynomially many gates and ancillae. Our main results show that: (1) Depth-3 QAC$^0$ circuits cannot compute PARITY, and require $\Omega(\exp(\sqrt{n}))$ gates…
We present the first near-linear work and poly-logarithmic depth algorithm for computing a minimum cut in a graph, while previous parallel algorithms with poly-logarithmic depth required at least quadratic work in the number of vertices. In…
Linear reversible circuits represent a subclass of reversible circuits with many applications in quantum computing. These circuits can be efficiently simulated by classical computers and their size is polynomially bounded by the number of…
In these proceedings, we review recent advances in applying quantum computing to lattice field theory. Quantum computing offers the prospect to simulate lattice field theories in parameter regimes that are largely inaccessible with the…

Effective quantum computation relies upon making good use of the exponential information capacity of a quantum machine. A large barrier to designing quantum algorithms for execution on real quantum machines is that, in general, it is…
We present parallel algorithms for computing single-source reachability and shortest paths on directed $n$-vertex $m$-edge graphs using near-linear $\tilde{O}(m)$ work and $o(\sqrt{n})$ depth whenever $m\ge n^{1+o(1)}$. At the extreme of…
