Efficient Depth--Ancilla Tradeoffs for Hamming Weight Computation and Symmetric Boolean Functions

Wei Zi, Pei Yuan, Junhong Nie +1

Hamming weight computation maps an -bit input to the number of ones it contains. It is a basic subroutine in quantum computing, and the core building block for symmetric Boolean…

Optimal T Counts under Sparsity: from QROM to State Preparation and Block Encoding

Tongyang Li, Fengning Ou, Xinzhao Wang +3

The paper analyzes the T‑gate cost of sparse quantum read‑only memory (QROM) and derives asymptotically optimal bounds, applying the results to sparse state preparation and block e…

The Dynamical Lie Algebra of QAOA-MaxCut on the Complete Graph

Jonathan Allcock, Pei Yuan, Shengyu Zhang

We give an analytical expression for the dynamical Lie algebra corresponding to the QAOA-MaxCut problem on complete graphs, and show that the variance of the associated loss functi…

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…

QAOA-MaxCut has barren plateaus for almost all graphs

Rui Mao, Pei Yuan, Jonathan Allcock +1

The QAOA has been the subject of intense study over recent years, yet the corresponding Dynamical Lie Algebra (DLA)--a key indicator of the expressivity and trainability of VQAs--r…

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…
