A central roadblock to analyzing quantum algorithms on quantum states is the lack of a comparable input model for classical algorithms. Inspired by recent work of the author [E. Tang, STOC'19], we introduce such a model, where we assume we…

Achieving a provable exponential quantum speedup for an important machine learning task has been a central research goal since the seminal HHL quantum algorithm for solving linear systems and the subsequent quantum recommender systems…

Over the past few years several quantum machine learning algorithms were proposed that promise quantum speed-ups over their classical counterparts. Most of these learning algorithms either assume quantum access to data -- making it unclear…

I survey, for a general scientific audience, three decades of research into which sorts of problems admit exponential speedups via quantum computers -- from the classics (like the algorithms of Simon and Shor), to the breakthrough of…

A recent work of Schmidhuber et al (QIP, SODA, & Phys. Rev. X 2025) exhibited a quantum algorithm for the noisy planted $k$XOR problem running quartically faster than all known classical algorithms. In this work, we design a new classical…

A pivotal task for quantum computing is to speed up solving problems that are both classically intractable and practically valuable. Among these, combinatorial optimization problems have attracted tremendous attention due to their broad…

We present classical and quantum algorithms based on spectral methods for a problem in tensor principal component analysis. The quantum algorithm achieves a quartic speedup while using exponentially smaller space than the fastest classical…

Recently, Dunjko et al.(PRL, 2018) proposed an algorithm for accelerating the solution of 3-satisfiability problems using a small-scale quantum computer. In this paper, we design a distributed quantum-classical hybrid algorithm for solving…

Even after decades of quantum computing development, examples of generally useful quantum algorithms with exponential speedups over classical counterparts are scarce. Recent progress in quantum algorithms for linear-algebra positioned…

Simon's problem is to find a hidden period (a bitstring) encoded into an unknown 2-to-1 function. It is one of the earliest problems for which an exponential quantum speedup was proven for ideal, noiseless quantum computers, albeit in the…

Quantum algorithms can deliver asymptotic speedups over their classical counterparts. However, there are few cases where a substantial quantum speedup has been worked out in detail for reasonably-sized problems, when compared with the best…

Establishing quantum speedup for computationally hard problems of practical relevance, particularly combinatorial optimization problems, remains a central challenge in quantum computation. In this work, we identify a structurally defined…

The finite element method is used to approximately solve boundary value problems for differential equations. The method discretises the parameter space and finds an approximate solution by solving a large system of linear equations. Here we…

We give a quantum speedup for solving the canonical semidefinite programming relaxation for binary quadratic optimization. This class of relaxations for combinatorial optimization has so far eluded quantum speedups. Our methods combine…

Topological invariants of a dataset, such as the number of holes that survive from one length scale to another (persistent Betti numbers) can be used to analyze and classify data in machine learning applications. We present an improved…

We consider whether trainable quantum unitaries can be used to discover quantum speed-ups for classical problems. Using methods recently developed for training quantum neural nets, we consider Simon's problem, for which there is a known…

We show polynomial-time quantum algorithms for the following problems: (*) Short integer solution (SIS) problem under the infinity norm, where the public matrix is very wide, the modulus is a polynomially large prime, and the bound of…

The short-path quantum algorithm introduced by Hastings (Quantum 2018, 2019) is a variant of adiabatic quantum algorithms that enables an easier worst-case analysis by avoiding the need to control the spectral gap along a long adiabatic…

Integer programming (IP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem that is widely used to represent a diverse set of real-world problems spanning multiple fields, such as finance, engineering, logistics, and operations research. It…
