Predicting quantum channels over general product distributions
Sitan Chen, Jaume de Dios Pont, Jun-Ting Hsieh +3
We investigate the problem of predicting the output behavior of unknown quantum channels. Given query access to an -qubit channel and an observable , we aim to learn the…
New SDP Roundings and Certifiable Approximation for Cubic Optimization
Jun-Ting Hsieh, Pravesh K. Kothari, Lucas Pesenti +1
We give new rounding schemes for SDP relaxations for the problems of maximizing cubic polynomials over the unit sphere and the -dimensional hypercube. In both cases, the resulti…
Efficient Algorithms for Semirandom Planted CSPs at the Refutation Threshold
Venkatesan Guruswami, Jun-Ting Hsieh, Pravesh K. Kothari +1
We present an efficient algorithm to solve semirandom planted instances of any Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). The semirandom model is a hybrid between worst-case an…
Ellipsoid Fitting Up to a Constant
Jun-Ting Hsieh, Pravesh K. Kothari, Aaron Potechin +1
In [Sau11,SPW13], Saunderson, Parrilo and Willsky asked the following elegant geometric question: what is the largest such that there is an ellipsoid in th…
Polynomial-Time Power-Sum Decomposition of Polynomials
Mitali Bafna, Jun-Ting Hsieh, Pravesh K. Kothari +1
We give efficient algorithms for finding power-sum decomposition of an input polynomial with component s. The case of linear s is equivale…
A simple and sharper proof of the hypergraph Moore bound
Jun-Ting Hsieh, Pravesh K. Kothari, Sidhanth Mohanty
The hypergraph Moore bound is an elegant statement that characterizes the extremal trade-off between the girth - the number of hyperedges in the smallest cycle or even cover (a sub…
