Error Mitigation From a Single Unmodified Error-Corrected Circuit

Maor Shutman, Dorit Aharonov, Itai Arad +7

Recent work has shown that syndrome information obtained during error-corrected quantum computation can be utilized for logical error mitigation (LEM), yielding exponential reducti…

Tight Post-Quantum Parallel Repetition for Private-Coin Arguments

Zvika Brakerski, Andrew Huang, Yael Tauman Kalai +1

We show that assuming the existence of homomorphic encryption, parallel repetition of all interactive arguments (after being run under homomorphic encryption) reduces the soundness…

Generic Number-of-Copies Amplification for Pseudorandom States

Zvika Brakerski, Miri Zenilman

We show that any quantum pseudorandom state that is secure against single-copy distinguishers, i.e. a -PRS, can be amplified to -copy security, i.e. to a -PRS, without add…

On Scalable Pseudorandom Unitaries and the Unitary Synthesis Problem

Zvika Brakerski, Henry Yuen

We consider the task of constructing pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) with scalable security, i.e. families in which the security parameter may vary independently of the dimension (or…

Syndrome aware mitigation of logical errors

Dorit Aharonov, Yosi Atia, Eyal Bairey +6

Broad applications of quantum computers will require error correction (EC). However, hardware roadmaps indicate that physical qubit numbers will remain limited in the foreseeable f…

State-Based Classical Shadows

Zvika Brakerski, Nir Magrafta, Tomer Solomon

Classical Shadow Tomography (Huang, Kueng and Preskill, Nature Physics 2020) is a method for creating a classical snapshot of an unknown quantum state, which can later be used to p…

On the Importance of Error Mitigation for Quantum Computation

Dorit Aharonov, Ori Alberton, Itai Arad +13

Quantum error mitigation (EM) is a family of hybrid quantum-classical methods for eliminating or reducing the effect of noise and decoherence on quantum algorithms run on quantum h…

Real-Valued Somewhat-Pseudorandom Unitaries

Zvika Brakerski, Nir Magrafta

We explore a very simple distribution of unitaries: random (binary) phase -- Hadamard -- random (binary) phase -- random computational-basis permutation. We show that this distribu…

Quantum State Obfuscation from Classical Oracles

James Bartusek, Zvika Brakerski, Vinod Vaikuntanathan

A major unresolved question in quantum cryptography is whether it is possible to obfuscate arbitrary quantum computation. Indeed, there is much yet to understand about the feasibil…

Computational Entanglement Theory

Rotem Arnon, Zvika Brakerski, Thomas Vidick

We initiate a rigorous study of computational entanglement theory, inspired by the emerging usefulness of ideas from quantum information theory in computational complexity. We defi…

Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits

Zvika Brakerski, Alexandru Gheorghiu, Gregory D. Kahanamoku-Meyer +2

A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain templ…

Lattice Problems Beyond Polynomial Time

Divesh Aggarwal, Huck Bennett, Zvika Brakerski +6

We study the complexity of lattice problems in a world where algorithms, reductions, and protocols can run in superpolynomial time, revisiting four foundational results: two worst-…

On the computational hardness needed for quantum cryptography

Zvika Brakerski, Ran Canetti, Luowen Qian

In the classical model of computation, it is well established that one-way functions (OWF) are minimal for computational cryptography: They are essential for almost any cryptograph…

Constructive Post-Quantum Reductions

Nir Bitansky, Zvika Brakerski, Yael Tauman Kalai

Is it possible to convert classical cryptographic reductions into post-quantum ones? It is customary to argue that while this is problematic in the interactive setting, non-interac…

On the Hardness of Average-case k-SUM

Zvika Brakerski, Noah Stephens-Davidowitz, Vinod Vaikuntanathan

In this work, we show the first worst-case to average-case reduction for the classical -SUM problem. A -SUM instance is a collection of integers, and the goal of the -…
