Possibilistic collapse and extremality of simplicial distributions

Aziz Kharoof, Cihan Okay

Consistent families of locally defined probability distributions that do not admit a joint global distribution are known as contextual, with primary examples arising in quantum the…

Vertex structure of fiber products of probability polytopes

Aziz Kharoof, Cihan Okay

We develop tools for characterizing vertices of fiber products of polytopes and apply them to simplicial distribution polytopes, a class of probability polytopes arising in quantum…

No quantum solutions to linear constraint systems from monomial measurement-based quantum computation in odd prime dimension

Markus Frembs, Cihan Okay, Ho Yiu Chung

We combine the study of resources in measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) with that of quantum solutions to linear constraint systems (LCS). Contextuality of the input stat…

Polyhedral Classical Simulators for Quantum Computation

Cihan Okay

Quantum advantage in computation refers to the existence of computational tasks that can be performed efficiently on a quantum computer but cannot be efficiently simulated on any c…

Double categories for adaptive quantum computation

Cihan Okay, Walker Stern, Redi Haderi +1

Quantum computation admits several models that emphasize different computational primitives and forms of classical control. We develop a unified double categorical framework for de…

Phase space tableau simulation for quantum computation

Selman Ipek, Atak Talay Yucel, Farzad Shahi +2

We introduce a novel tableau-based classical simulation method for quantum computation, formulated within the phase space framework of the extended stabilizer theory of closed non-…
