Faster algorithm for achieving minimal-size quantum decision diagrams

Juul Sanders, Sebastiaan Brand, Arend-Jan Quist +1

The decision diagram (DD) data structure enables fast linear-algebra calculations by bringing vectors into a normal form and subsequently merging equivalent ones, yielding a minima…

From Tensor Networks to Tractable Circuits, and back

Arend-Jan Quist, Marc Farreras Bartra, Alexis de Colnet +2

Tensor networks and circuits are widely used data structures to represent pseudo-Boolean functions. These two formalisms have been studied primarily in separate communities, and th…

Exact quantum decision diagrams with scaling guarantees for Clifford+ circuits and beyond

Arend-Jan Quist, Tim Coopmans, Alfons Laarman

A decision diagram (DD) is a graph-like data structure for homomorphic compression of Boolean and pseudo-Boolean functions. Over the past decades, decision diagrams have been succe…

Trade-offs between classical and quantum space using spooky pebbling

Arend-Jan Quist, Alfons Laarman

Pebble games are used to study space/time trade-offs. Recently, spooky pebble games were introduced to study classical space / quantum space / time trade-offs for simulation of cla…

Numerical Errors in Quantitative System Analysis With Decision Diagrams

Sebastiaan Brand, Arend-Jan Quist, Richard M. K. van Dijk +1

Decision diagrams (DDs) are a powerful data structure that is used to tackle the state-space explosion problem, not only for discrete systems, but for probabilistic and quantum sys…
