We consider a wireless network comprising $n$ nodes located within a circular area of radius $R$, which are participating in a decentralized learning algorithm to optimize a global objective function using their local datasets. To enable…
We prove that the fidelity of two exemplary communication complexity protocols, allowing for an N-1 bit communication, can be exponentially improved by N-1 (unentangled) qubit communication. Taking into account, for a fair comparison, all…
In this paper, we design new sublinear-time algorithms for solving the gap edit distance problem and for embedding edit distance to Hamming distance. For the gap edit distance problem, we give an $\tilde{O}(\frac{n}{k}+k^2)$-time greedy…
We introduce a framework for distributed quantum inference under communication constraints. In our model, $m$ distributed nodes each receive one copy of an unknown $d$-dimensional quantum state $\rho$, before communicating via a constrained…
We consider the problem of deterministic broadcasting in radio networks when the nodes have limited knowledge about the topology of the network. We show that for every deterministic broadcasting protocol there exists a network, of radius 2,…
The CONGEST and CONGEST-CLIQUE models have been carefully studied to represent situations where the communication bandwidth between processors in a network is severely limited. Messages of only $O(log(n))$ bits of information each may be…
We consider the communication complexity of finding an approximate maximum matching in a graph in a multi-party message-passing communication model. The maximum matching problem is one of the most fundamental graph combinatorial problems,…
Population protocols are a fundamental model in distributed computing, where many nodes with bounded memory and computational power have random pairwise interactions over time. This model has been studied in a rich body of literature aiming…
We explore the fundamental limits of distributed balls-into-bins algorithms. We present an adaptive symmetric algorithm that achieves a bin load of two in log* n+O(1) communication rounds using O(n) messages in total. Larger bin loads can…
Quantum communication holds the promise of creating disruptive technologies that will play an essential role in future communication networks. For example, the study of quantum communication complexity has shown that quantum communication…
We consider the streaming complexity of a fundamental task in approximate pattern matching: the $k$-mismatch problem. It asks to compute Hamming distances between a pattern of length $n$ and all length-$n$ substrings of a text for which the…
Strongly long-range interacting quantum systems---those with interactions decaying as a power-law $1/r^{\alpha}$ in the distance $r$ on a $D$-dimensional lattice for $\alpha\le D$---have received significant interest in recent years. They…
We develop a novel and powerful technique for communication lower bounds, the pattern matrix method. Specifically, fix an arbitrary function f:{0,1}^n->{0,1} and let A_f be the matrix whose columns are each an application of f to some…
Three decades of research in communication complexity have led to the invention of a number of techniques to lower bound randomized communication complexity. The majority of these techniques involve properties of large submatrices…
We consider a variation of the multi-party communication complexity scenario where the parties are supplied with an extra resource: particles in an entangled quantum state. We show that, although a prior quantum entanglement cannot be used…
We consider a class of pattern matching problems where a normalising transformation is applied at every alignment. Normalised pattern matching plays a key role in fields as diverse as image processing and musical information processing…
We prove a direct sum theorem for bounded round entanglement-assisted quantum communication complexity. To do so, we use the fully quantum definition for information cost and complexity that we recently introduced, and use both the fact…
In this article we establish new bounds on the quantum communication complexity of distributed problems. Specifically, we consider the amount of communication that is required to transform a bipartite state into another, typically more…
Given a database of bit strings $A_1,\ldots,A_m\in \{0,1\}^n$, a fundamental data structure task is to estimate the distances between a given query $B\in \{0,1\}^n$ with all the strings in the database. In addition, one might further want…
We define a new notion of information cost for quantum protocols, and a corresponding notion of quantum information complexity for bipartite quantum channels, and then investigate the properties of such quantities. These are the fully…
