We give a deterministic algorithm for approximately counting satisfying assignments of a degree-$d$ polynomial threshold function (PTF). Given a degree-$d$ input polynomial $p(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ over $R^n$ and a parameter $\epsilon> 0$, our…

The quantum circuit synthesis problem bridges quantum algorithm design and quantum hardware implementation in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. In quantum circuit synthesis problems, diagonal unitary synthesis plays a crucial…

Random quantum circuits are commonly viewed as hard to simulate classically. In some regimes this has been formally conjectured, and there had been no evidence against the more general possibility that for circuits with uniformly random…

We show how to compute a relative-error low-rank approximation to any positive semidefinite (PSD) matrix in sublinear time, i.e., for any $n \times n$ PSD matrix $A$, in $\tilde O(n \cdot poly(k/\epsilon))$ time we output a rank-$k$ matrix…

Differential (Ore) type polynomials with "approximate" polynomial coefficients are introduced. These provide an effective notion of approximate differential operators, with a strong algebraic structure. We introduce the approximate Greatest…

We extend the concept of polynomial time approximation algorithms to apply to problems for hierarchically specified graphs, many of which are PSPACE-complete. Assuming P != PSPACE, the existence or nonexistence of such efficient…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $d$-dimensions. The simplicial depth, $\sigma_P(q)$ of a point $q$ is the number of $d$-simplices with vertices in $P$ that contain $q$ in their convex hulls. The simplicial depth is a notion of data depth…

A polyomino is a polygonal region with axis parallel edges and corners of integral coordinates, which may have holes. In this paper, we consider planar tiling and packing problems with polyomino pieces and a polyomino container $P$. We give…

Simulating noisy quantum circuits is vital in designing and verifying quantum algorithms in the current NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) era, where quantum noise is unavoidable. However, it is much more inefficient than the classical…

Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT) provides a unified framework for applying polynomial functions to the singular values of a block-encoded matrix. QSVT prepares a state proportional to $\bA^{-1}\bb$ with circuit depth…

A canonical feature of the constraint satisfaction problems in NP is approximation hardness, where in the worst case, finding sufficient-quality approximate solutions is exponentially hard for all known methods. Fundamentally, the lack of…

$\renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}\newcommand{\eps}{{\varepsilon}}\newcommand{\poly}{\mathrm{poly}} $In this paper, we study the problem of $L_1$-fitting a shape to a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$ (where $d$ is a fixed constant), where the…

We study the computational complexity of approximating general constrained Markov decision processes. Our primary contribution is the design of a polynomial time $(0,\epsilon)$-additive bicriteria approximation algorithm for finding optimal…

This paper discusses a classical simulation to compute the partition function (or free energy) of generic one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. Many numerical methods have previously been developed to approximately solve…

Let $C$ be a depth-3 arithmetic circuit of size at most $s$, computing a polynomial $ f \in \mathbb{F}[x_1,\ldots, x_n] $ (where $\mathbb{F}$ = $\mathbb{Q}$ or $\mathbb{C}$) and the fan-in of the product gates of $C$ is bounded by $d$. We…

Quantum simulation is a prominent application of quantum computers. While there is extensive previous work on simulating finite-dimensional systems, less is known about quantum algorithms for real-space dynamics. We conduct a systematic…

Quantifier elimination over the reals is a central problem in computational real algebraic geometry, polynomial system solving and symbolic computation. Given a semi-algebraic formula (whose atoms are polynomial constraints) with…

We consider the hardness of computing additive approximations to output probabilities of random quantum circuits. We consider three random circuit families, namely, Haar random, $p=1$ QAOA, and random IQP circuits. Our results are as…

Let $g(X)$ be a polynomial over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ with degree $o(q^{1/2})$, and let $\chi$ be the quadratic residue character. We give a polynomial time algorithm to recover $g(X)$ (up to perfect square factors) given the…

We develop a theory based on quasi-geometric (QG) approach to transform a small number of qubits into a larger number of error-correcting qubits by considering four different cases. More precisely, we use the 2-dimensional quasi-orthogonal…
