We study the computational power of polynomial threshold functions, that is, threshold functions of real polynomials over the boolean cube. We provide two new results bounding the computational power of this model. Our first result shows…

We study quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) integration over the multi-dimensional unit cube in several weighted function spaces with different smoothness classes. We consider approximating the integral of a function by the median of several integral…

We study multivariate integration over the $s$-dimensional unit cube in a weighted space of infinitely differentiable functions. It is known from a recent result by Suzuki that there exists a good quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) rule which achieves…

Loading functions into quantum computers represents an essential step in several quantum algorithms, such as quantum partial differential equation solvers. Therefore, the inefficiency of this process leads to a major bottleneck for the…

Attempts to separate the power of classical and quantum models of computation have a long history. The ultimate goal is to find exponential separations for computational problems. However, such separations do not come a dime a dozen: while…

Fourier analysis on the discrete hypercubes $\{-1,1\}^n$ has found numerous applications in learning theory. A recent breakthrough involves the use of a classical result from Fourier analysis, the Bohnenblust--Hille inequality, in the…

This paper introduces a notion of gradient and an infimal-convolution operator that extend properties of solutions of Hamilton Jacobi equations to more general spaces, in particular to graphs. As a main application, the hypercontractivity…

We prove a Leibniz rule for BV functions in a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality. Unlike in previous versions of the rule, we do not assume the functions to be locally…

We study Boolean functions on the $p$-biased hypercube $(\{0,1\}^n,\mu_p^n)$ through the lens of Fourier (spectral) entropy, i.e. the Shannon entropy of the squared $p$-biased Fourier coefficients. Motivated by recent restriction-based…

In this paper, we derive variational inference upper-bounds on the log-partition function of pairwise Markov random fields on the Boolean hypercube, based on quantum relaxations of the Kullback-Leibler divergence. We then propose an…

We generalize the celebrated isoperimetric inequality of Khot, Minzer, and Safra~(SICOMP 2018) for Boolean functions to the case of real-valued functions $f \colon \{0,1\}^d\to\mathbb{R}$. Our main tool in the proof of the generalized…

It is an established fact that entanglement is a resource. Sharing an entangled state leads to non-local correlations and to violations of Bell inequalities. Such non-local correlations illustrate the advantage of quantum resources over…

Let C: {0,1}^n -> {0,1}^m be a code encoding an n-bit string into an m-bit string. Such a code is called a (q, c, e) smooth code if there exists a decoding algorithm which while decoding any bit of the input, makes at most q probes on the…

We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions of non-commutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in $L^2$ and $L^1$. More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical result of Burkholder holds:…

Quantum Bayesian Computation (QBC) is an emerging field that levers the computational gains available from quantum computers to provide an exponential speed-up in Bayesian computation. Our paper adds to the literature in two ways. First, we…

A short introduction to quantum error correction is given, and it is shown that zero-dimensional quantum codes can be represented as self-dual additive codes over GF(4) and also as graphs. We show that graphs representing several such codes…

A classical result of Hensley provides a sharp lower bound for the functional $\int_\mathbb{R} t^2f$, where $f$ is a non-negative, even log-concave function. In the context of studying the minimal slabs of the unit cube, Barthe and…

This paper studies the gap between quantum one-way communication complexity $Q(f)$ and its classical counterpart $C(f)$, under the {\em unbounded-error} setting, i.e., it is enough that the success probability is strictly greater than 1/2.…

Specifying a computational problem requires fixing encodings for input and output: encoding graphs as adjacency matrices, characters as integers, integers as bit strings, and vice versa. For such discrete data, the actual encoding is…

We prove the Courtade-Kumar conjecture, for certain classes of $n$-dimensional Boolean functions, $\forall n\geq 2$ and for all values of the error probability of the binary symmetric channel, $\forall 0 \leq p \leq \frac{1}{2}$. Let…
