Exponential quantum speedup for -Subset-Sum? Or, rigorous classical algorithms for Binary-Error LWE

Robin Kothari, Tony Metger, Ryan O'Donnell +2

We study vector subset sum over : given random vectors from , find a nonempty subset that sums to zero; the smaller , the more difficult it i…

Local transformations of bipartite entanglement are rigid

John Bostanci, Tony Metger, Henry Yuen

Uhlmann's theorem is a fundamental result in quantum information theory that quantifies the optimal overlap between two bipartite pure states after applying local unitary operation…

Holographic pseudoentanglement and the complexity of the AdS/CFT dictionary

Chris Akers, Adam Bouland, Lijie Chen +3

The `quantum gravity in the lab' paradigm suggests that quantum computers might shed light on quantum gravity by simulating the CFT side of the AdS/CFT correspondence and mapping t…

Single-Round Proofs of Quantumness from Knowledge Assumptions

Petia Arabadjieva, Alexandru Gheorghiu, Victor Gitton +1

A proof of quantumness is an efficiently verifiable interactive test that an efficient quantum computer can pass, but all efficient classical computers cannot (under some cryptogra…

Succinct arguments for QMA from standard assumptions via compiled nonlocal games

Tony Metger, Anand Natarajan, Tina Zhang

We construct a succinct classical argument system for QMA, the quantum analogue of NP, from generic and standard cryptographic assumptions. Previously, building on the prior work o…

Simple constructions of linear-depth t-designs and pseudorandom unitaries

Tony Metger, Alexander Poremba, Makrand Sinha +1

Uniformly random unitaries, i.e. unitaries drawn from the Haar measure, have many useful properties, but cannot be implemented efficiently. This has motivated a long line of resear…

Pseudorandom unitaries with non-adaptive security

Tony Metger, Alexander Poremba, Makrand Sinha +1

Pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) are ensembles of efficiently implementable unitary operators that cannot be distinguished from Haar random unitaries by any quantum polynomial-time al…

Public-key pseudoentanglement and the hardness of learning ground state entanglement structure

Adam Bouland, Bill Fefferman, Soumik Ghosh +4

Given a local Hamiltonian, how difficult is it to determine the entanglement structure of its ground state? We show that this problem is computationally intractable even if one is…

Unitary Complexity and the Uhlmann Transformation Problem

John Bostanci, Yuval Efron, Tony Metger +3

State transformation problems such as compressing quantum information or breaking quantum commitments are fundamental quantum tasks. However, their computational difficulty cannot…

stateQIP = statePSPACE

Tony Metger, Henry Yuen

Complexity theory traditionally studies the hardness of solving classical computational problems. In the quantum setting, it is also natural to consider a different notion of compl…

Quantum cryptography with classical communication: parallel remote state preparation for copy-protection, verification, and more

Alexandru Gheorghiu, Tony Metger, Alexander Poremba

Quantum mechanical effects have enabled the construction of cryptographic primitives that are impossible classically. For example, quantum copy-protection allows for a program to b…
