Beyond Light Cones: State Preparation Complexity in Quantum Spin Glasses

Omar Al-Ghattas, David Gamarnik, Bobak T Kiani

We introduce a method for studying state preparation complexity in dense quantum -spin Hamiltonians on qubits, going beyond bounds based only on circuit lightcones. The key…

Circuit complexity lower bounds for quantum spin glasses

Omar Al-Ghattas, David Gamarnik

A central question in quantum information theory is the circuit complexity of states arising from standard many-body models. We study this question for quantum -spin glasses, ra…

The stochastic block model has the overlap graph property for modularity

Shankar Bhamidi, David Gamarnik, Remco van der Hofstad +4

The overlap gap property (OGP) is a statement about the geometry of near-optimal solutions. Exhibiting OGP implies failure of a class of local algorithms; and has been observed to…

Price of Quality: Sufficient Conditions for Sparse Recovery using Mixed-Quality Data

Youssef Chaabouni, David Gamarnik

We study sparse recovery when observations come from mixed-quality sources: a small collection of high-quality measurements with small noise variance and a larger collection of low…

Optimal Hardness of Online Algorithms for Large Common Induced Subgraphs

David Gamarnik, Miklós Z. Rácz, Gabe Schoenbach

We study the problem of efficiently finding large common induced subgraphs of two independent Erdős--Rényi random graphs . Recently, Chatterjee and…

Spin Glass Transitions Obstruct Decoded Quantum Interferometry

Eric R. Anschuetz, David Gamarnik, Jonathan Z. Lu

Quantum algorithms are believed to offer advantages in solving certain hard discrete optimization problems, yet identifying when such advantages persist in explicit distributions o…

The Price of Sparsity: Sufficient Conditions for Sparse Recovery using Sparse and Sparsified Measurements

Youssef Chaabouni, David Gamarnik

We consider the problem of support recovery for sparse binary signals from noisy linear measurements. For sparse Gaussian measurement matrices we identify sufficient conditions on…

Turing in the shadows of Nobel and Abel: an algorithmic story behind two recent prizes

David Gamarnik

The 2021 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Giorgio Parisi ``for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales,…

Slow Mixing of Quantum Gibbs Samplers

David Gamarnik, Bobak T. Kiani, Alexander Zlokapa

Preparing thermal (Gibbs) states is a common task in physics and computer science. Recent algorithms mimic cooling via system-bath coupling, where the cost is determined by mixing…

Product states optimize quantum -spin models for large

Eric R. Anschuetz, David Gamarnik, Bobak T. Kiani

We consider the problem of estimating the maximal energy of quantum -local spin glass random Hamiltonians, the quantum analogues of widely studied classical spin glass models. D…
