An Efficient Quantum Decoder for Prime-Power Fields

Lior Eldar

We consider a version of the nearest-codeword problem on finite fields using the Manhattan distance, an analog of the Hamming metric for non-binary alphabets. Simila…

An efficient quantum algorithm for lattice problems achieving subexponential approximation factor

Lior Eldar, Sean Hallgren

We give a quantum algorithm for solving the Bounded Distance Decoding (BDD) problem with a subexponential approximation factor on a class of integer lattices. The quantum algorithm…

Approximating the Determinant of Well-Conditioned Matrices by Shallow Circuits

Enric Boix-Adserà, Lior Eldar, Saeed Mehraban

The determinant can be computed by classical circuits of depth , and therefore it can also be computed in classical space . Recent progress by Ta-Shma [Ta…

Robust Quantum Entanglement at (nearly) Room Temperature

Lior Eldar

We formulate a mixed-state analog of the NLTS conjecture [FH14] by asking whether there exist topologically-ordered systems for which the thermal Gibbs state for constant temperatu…

Approximating the Permanent of a Random Matrix with Vanishing Mean

Lior Eldar, Saeed Mehraban

We show an algorithm for computing the permanent of a random matrix with vanishing mean in quasi-polynomial time. Among special cases are the Gaussian, and biased-Bernoulli random…

A Discrete Fourier Transform on Lattices with Quantum Applications

Lior Eldar, Peter Shor

In this work, we introduce a definition of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) on Euclidean lattices in , that generalizes the -th fold DFT of the integer lattice …

An Efficient Quantum Algorithm for a Variant of the Closest Lattice-Vector Problem

Lior Eldar, Peter W. Shor

The Systematic Normal Form (SysNF) is a canonical form of lattices introduced in [Eldar,Shor '16], in which the basis entries satisfy a certain co-primality condition. Using a "smo…

The Need for Structure in Quantum LDPC Codes

Lior Eldar, Maris Ozols, Kevin F. Thompson

Existence of quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes whose minimal distance scales linearly with the number of qubits is a major open problem in quantum information. Its prac…

The Systematic Normal Form of Lattices

Lior Eldar, Peter W. Shor

We introduce a new canonical form of lattices called the systematic normal form (SNF). We show that for every lattice there is an efficiently computable "nearby" SNF lattice, such…

Local Hamiltonians Whose Ground States are Hard to Approximate

Lior Eldar, Aram W. Harrow

Ground states of local Hamiltonians can be generally highly entangled: any quantum circuit that generates them (even approximately) must be sufficiently deep to allow coupling (ent…

A Quasi-Random Approach to Matrix Spectral Analysis

Michael Ben-Or, Lior Eldar

Inspired by the quantum computing algorithms for Linear Algebra problems [HHL,TaShma] we study how the simulation on a classical computer of this type of "Phase Estimation algorith…

Local Hamiltonians with Approximation-Robust Entanglement

Lior Eldar

Quantum entanglement is considered, by and large, to be a very delicate and non-robust phenomenon that is very hard to maintain in the presence of noise, or non-zero temperatures.…

Optimal algorithms for linear algebra by quantum inspiration

Michael Ben-Or, Lior Eldar

Recent results by Harrow et. al. and by Ta-Shma, suggest that quantum computers may have an exponential advantage in solving a wealth of linear algebraic problems, over classical a…

The commuting local Hamiltonian on locally-expanding graphs is in NP

Dorit Aharonov, Lior Eldar

The local Hamiltonian problem is famously complete for the class QMA, the quantum analogue of NP. The complexity of its semi-classical version, in which the terms of the Hamiltonia…

Quantum Locally Testable Codes

Dorit Aharonov, Lior Eldar

We initiate the study of quantum Locally Testable Codes (qLTCs). We provide a definition together with a simplification, denoted sLTCs, for the special case of stabilizer codes, to…

Commuting Local Hamiltonians on Expanders, Locally Testable Quantum codes, and the qPCP conjecture

Dorit Aharonov, Lior Eldar

Understanding commuting local Hamiltonians (CLHs) is at the heart of many questions in quantum computational complexity and quantum physics: quantum error correcting codes, quantum…

On the complexity of Commuting Local Hamiltonians, and tight conditions for Topological Order in such systems

Dorit Aharonov, Lior Eldar

The local Hamiltonian problem plays the equivalent role of SAT in quantum complexity theory. Understanding the complexity of the intermediate case in which the constraints are quan…
