We give an algorithm to solve the quantum hidden subgroup problem for maximal cyclic non-normal subgroups of the affine group of a finite field (if the field has order $q$ then the group has order $q(q-1)$) with probability $1-\varepsilon$…

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…

We present a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for the Hidden Subgroup Problem over $\mathbb{D}_{2^n}$. The usual approach to the Hidden Subgroup Problem relies on harmonic analysis in the domain of the problem, and the best known algorithm…

How can we use a quantum computer to detect the entanglement structure of a quantum state? Bouland et al. (2024) recently provided an algorithm that, given multiple input copies of the state, finds the "hidden cuts"-partitions into fully…

We conjecture that one of the main obstacles to creating new non-abelian quantum hidden subgroup algorithms is the correct choice of a transversal.

Attempts to find new quantum algorithms that outperform classical computation have focused primarily on the nonabelian hidden subgroup problem, which generalizes the central problem solved by Shor's factoring algorithm. We suggest an…

While efficient algorithms are known for solving many important problems related to groups, no efficient algorithm is known for determining whether two arbitrary groups are isomorphic. The particular case of 2-nilpotent groups, a special…

In this paper we consider the problem of testing whether two finite groups are isomorphic. Whereas the case where both groups are abelian is well understood and can be solved efficiently, very little is known about the complexity of…

The abelian Hidden Subgroup Problem (HSP) is extremely general, and many problems with known quantum exponential speed-up (such as integers factorisation, the discrete logarithm and Simon's problem) can be seen as specific instances of it.…

An important subcase of the hidden subgroup problem is equivalent to the shift problem over abelian groups. An efficient solution to the latter problem would serve as a building block of quantum hidden subgroup algorithms over solvable…
