On the dynamical Lie algebras of quantum approximate optimization algorithms

Jonathan Allcock, Miklos Santha, Pei Yuan +1

Dynamical Lie algebras (DLAs) have emerged as a valuable tool in the study of parameterized quantum circuits, helping to characterize both their expressiveness and trainability. In…

Reconquering Bell sampling on qudits: stabilizer learning and testing, quantum pseudorandomness bounds, and more

Jonathan Allcock, Joao F. Doriguello, Gábor Ivanyos +1

Bell sampling is a simple yet powerful tool based on measuring two copies of a quantum state in the Bell basis, and has found applications in a plethora of problems related to stab…

On generating direct powers of dynamical Lie algebras

Jonathan Allcock, Miklos Santha, Pei Yuan +1

The expressibility and trainability of parameterized quantum circuits has been shown to be intimately related to their associated dynamical Lie algebras (DLAs). From a quantum algo…

Quasi-quantum states and the quasi-quantum PCP theorem

Itai Arad, Miklos Santha

We introduce -local quasi-quantum states: a superset of the regular quantum states, defined by relaxing the positivity constraint. We show that a -local quasi-quantum state o…

Constant-depth circuits for Boolean functions and quantum memory devices using multi-qubit gates

Jonathan Allcock, Jinge Bao, Joao F. Doriguello +2

We explore the power of the unbounded Fan-Out gate and the Global Tunable gates generated by Ising-type Hamiltonians in constructing constant-depth quantum circuits, with particula…
