A Classical Quadratic Speedup for Planted XOR
Meghal Gupta, William He, Ryan O'Donnell +1
A recent work of Schmidhuber et al (QIP, SODA, & Phys. Rev. X 2025) exhibited a quantum algorithm for the noisy planted XOR problem running quartically faster than all known cla…
Few Single-Qubit Measurements Suffice to Certify Any Quantum State
Meghal Gupta, William He, Ryan O'Donnell
A fundamental task in quantum information science is state certification: testing whether a lab-prepared -qubit state is close to a given hypothesis state. In this work, we show…
Sampling and Identity-Testing Without Approximate Tensorization of Entropy
William Gay, William He, Nicholas Kocurek +1
Certain tasks in high-dimensional statistics become easier when the underlying distribution satisfies a local-to-global property called approximate tensorization of entropy (ATE).…
Pseudorandomness Properties of Random Reversible Circuits
William Gay, William He, Nicholas Kocurek +1
Motivated by practical concerns in cryptography, we study pseudorandomness properties of permutations on computed by random circuits made from reversible -bit gates…
