The QAOA on the ring of disagrees

Kunal Marwaha

We study the performance of symmetric local algorithms finding large cuts on the cycle graph. Such algorithms that cannot see the whole graph at depth p cut at most a (2p+1)/(2p+2)…

On the Complexity of Decoded Quantum Interferometry

Kunal Marwaha, Bill Fefferman, Alexandru Gheorghiu +1

We study the complexity of Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI), a quantum algorithm for approximate optimization. First, we show that the algorithm resists classical simulation st…

A complexity phase transition at the EPR Hamiltonian

Kunal Marwaha, James Sud

We study the computational complexity of 2-local Hamiltonian problems generated by a positive-weight symmetric interaction term, encompassing many canonical problems in statistical…

A 0.8395-approximation algorithm for the EPR problem

Anuj Apte, Eunou Lee, Kunal Marwaha +3

We give an efficient 0.8395-approximation algorithm for the EPR Hamiltonian. Our improvement comes from a new nonlinear monogamy-of-entanglement bound on star graphs and a refined…

Superposition detection and QMA with non-collapsing measurements

Roozbeh Bassirian, Kunal Marwaha

We prove that QMA where the verifier may also make a single non-collapsing measurement is equal to NEXP, resolving an open question of Aaronson. We show this is a corollary to a mo…

Improved Algorithms for Quantum MaxCut via Partially Entangled Matchings

Anuj Apte, Eunou Lee, Kunal Marwaha +2

We introduce a -approximation algorithm for Quantum MaxCut and a -approximation algorithm for the EPR Hamiltonian of [arXiv:2209.02589].…
