In this survey, we describe two recent developments in quantum algorithms. The first new development is a quantum algorithm for evaluating a Boolean formula consisting of AND and OR gates of size N in time O(\sqrt{N}). This provides quantum…
Boolean functions can be represented in many ways including logical forms, truth tables, and polynomials. Additionally, Boolean functions have different canonical representations such as minimal disjunctive normal forms. Other canonical…
We develop and analyze a fault-tolerant quantum algorithm for computing $n$-th order response properties necessary for analysis of non-linear spectroscopies of molecular and condensed phase systems. We use a semi-classical description in…
In this paper we propose a dynamic data structure that supports efficient algorithms for updating and querying singly connected Bayesian networks (causal trees and polytrees). In the conventional algorithms, new evidence in absorbed in time…
The hidden shift problem is a natural place to look for new separations between classical and quantum models of computation. One advantage of this problem is its flexibility, since it can be defined for a whole range of functions and a…
In this paper, we study the query complexity of Boolean functions in the presence of uncertainty, motivated by parallel computation with an unlimited number of processors where inputs are allowed to be unknown. We allow each query to…
We propose a quantum algorithm to estimate the Gowers $U_2$ norm of a Boolean function, and extend it into a second algorithm to distinguish between linear Boolean functions and Boolean functions that are $\epsilon$-far from the set of…
The problem of learning Boolean linear functions from quantum examples w.r.t. the uniform distribution can be solved on a quantum computer using the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm. A similar strategy can be applied in the case of noisy…
This paper presents a quantum algorithm that computes the product of two $n\times n$ Boolean matrices in $\tilde O(n\sqrt{\ell}+\ell\sqrt{n})$ time, where $\ell$ is the number of non-zero entries in the product. This improves the previous…
The approximate degree of a Boolean function $f(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n})$ is the minimum degree of a real polynomial that approximates $f$ pointwise within $1/3$. Upper bounds on approximate degree have a variety of applications in…
We study the quantum query complexity of the Boolean hidden shift problem. Given oracle access to f(x+s) for a known Boolean function f, the task is to determine the n-bit string s. The quantum query complexity of this problem depends…
In this paper we construct a cyclically invariant Boolean function whose sensitivity is $\Theta(n^{1/3})$. This result answers two previously published questions. Tur\'an (1984) asked if any Boolean function, invariant under some transitive…
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…
Quantum computations promise the ability to solve problems intractable in the classical setting. Restricting the types of computations considered often allows to establish a provable theoretical advantage by quantum computations, and later…
We give a new upper bound on the quantum query complexity of deciding $st$-connectivity on certain classes of planar graphs, and show the bound is sometimes exponentially better than previous results. We then show Boolean formula evaluation…
The approximate degree of a Boolean function is the minimum degree of real polynomial that approximates it pointwise. For any Boolean function, its approximate degree serves as a lower bound on its quantum query complexity, and generically…
We present a construction of a general oracle operator for a real-valued function on the Boolean cube. As an application, we use such operators in Shyamsundar's Non-Boolean Amplitude Amplification [arXiv:2102.04975] to solve binary…
We present several families of total boolean functions which have exact quantum query complexity which is a constant multiple (between 1/2 and 2/3) of their classical query complexity, and show that optimal quantum algorithms for these…
It is believed that there is no efficient classical algorithm to determine the linear structure of Boolean function. We investigate an extension of Simon's period-finding quantum algorithm, and propose an efficient quantum algorithm to…
We study the computation complexity of Boolean functions in the quantum black box model. In this model our task is to compute a function $f:\{0,1\}\to\{0,1\}$ on an input $x\in\{0,1\}^n$ that can be accessed by querying the black box.…
