Improved Lower Bounds for QAC0

Malvika Raj Joshi, Avishay Tal, Francisca Vasconcelos +1

In this work, we prove the strongest known lower bounds for QAC, allowing polynomially many gates and ancillae. Our main results show that: (1) Depth-3 QAC circuits cannot…

Quantum Advantage in Tolerant Junta Testing

Avishay Tal, Weiqiang Yuan

We establish the first super-polynomial quantum advantage for the tolerant junta testing problem in the adaptive setting. Specifically, we show that within a certain parameter regi…

A Relativizing MIP for BQP

Scott Aaronson, Anand Natarajan, Avishay Tal +1

Complexity class containments involving interactive proof classes are famously nonrelativizing: although , Fortnow and Sipser showed that that there…

On Certified Randomness from Fourier Sampling or Random Circuit Sampling

Roozbeh Bassirian, Adam Bouland, Bill Fefferman +2

Certified randomness has a long history in quantum information, with many potential applications. Recently Aaronson (2018, 2020) proposed a novel public certified randomness protoc…

Shrinkage under Random Projections, and Cubic Formula Lower Bounds for

Yuval Filmus, Or Meir, Avishay Tal

HÃ¥stad showed that any De Morgan formula (composed of AND, OR and NOT gates) shrinks by a factor of under a random restrictio…

Quantum-Computable One-Way Functions without One-Way Functions

William Kretschmer, Luowen Qian, Avishay Tal

We construct a classical oracle relative to which but quantum-computable quantum-secure trapdoor one-way functions exist. This is a substantial strengthe…
