We provide a quantitative lower bound to the Cheeger constant of a set $\Omega$ in both the Euclidean and the Gaussian settings in terms of suitable asymmetry indexes. We provide examples which show that these quantitative estimates are…
The lower and upper bound of any given algorithm is one of the most crucial pieces of information needed when evaluating the computational effectiveness for said algorithm. Here a novel method of Boolean Algebraic Programming for symbolic…
We present two new results about exact learning by quantum computers. First, we show how to exactly learn a $k$-Fourier-sparse $n$-bit Boolean function from $O(k^{1.5}(\log k)^2)$ uniform quantum examples for that function. This improves…
The query model offers a concrete setting where quantum algorithms are provably superior to randomized algorithms. Beautiful results by Bernstein-Vazirani, Simon, Aaronson, and others presented partial Boolean functions that can be computed…
We introduce linear programs encoding regular expressions of finite languages. We show that, given a language, the optimum value of the associated linear program is a lower bound on the size of any regular expression of the language.…
Recently developed quantum algorithms suggest that quantum computers can solve certain problems and perform certain tasks more efficiently than conventional computers. Among other reasons, this is due to the possibility of creating…
Non-linearity of a Boolean function indicates how far it is from any linear function. Despite there being several strong results about identifying a linear function and distinguishing one from a sufficiently non-linear function, we found a…
We present a quantum algorithm for approximating the linear structures of a Boolean function $f$. Different from previous algorithms (such as Simon's and Shor's algorithms) which rely on restrictions on the Boolean function, our algorithm…
The most powerful technique known at present for bounding the size of quantum codes of prescribed minimum distance is the quantum linear programming bound. Unlike the classical linear programming bound, it is not immediately obvious that if…
We introduce a logic modelling some aspects of the behaviour of the measurement process, in such a way that no direct mention of quantum states is made, thus avoiding the problems associated to this rather evasive notion. We then study some…
We show that any quantum algorithm searching an ordered list of n elements needs to examine at least 1/12 log n-O(1) of them. Classically, log n queries are both necessary and sufficient. This shows that quantum algorithms can achieve only…
We review, correct, and develop an algorithm which determines arbitrary Quantum Bounds, based on the seminal work of Tsirelson [Lett. Math. Phys. 4, 93 (1980)]. The potential of this algorithm is demonstrated by deriving both new…
We propose a quantum algorithm to solve systems of nonlinear algebraic equations. In the ideal case the complexity of the algorithm is linear in the number of variables $n$, which means our algorithm's complexity is less than $O(n^{3})$ of…
We prove new lower bounds for bounded error quantum communication complexity. Our methods are based on the Fourier transform of the considered functions. First we generalize a method for proving classical communication complexity lower…
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…
This paper extends the tools of C*-algebraic strict quantization toward analyzing the classical limits of unbounded quantities in quantum theories. We introduce the approach first in the simple case of finite systems. Then we apply this…
We present some results that show that bounds from classical coding theory still work in many cases of quantum coding theory.
A quantum algorithm is exact if, on any input data, it outputs the correct answer with certainty (probability 1). A key question is: how big is the advantage of exact quantum algorithms over their classical counterparts: deterministic…
Quantum computing is a promising technology that harnesses the peculiarities of quantum mechanics to deliver computational speedups for some problems that are intractable to solve on a classical computer. Current generation noisy…
As a natural extension of the SAT problem, an array of proof systems for quantified Boolean formulas (QBF) have been proposed, many of which extend a propositional proof system to handle universal quantification. By formalising the…
