Computing Efficiently in QLDPC Codes

Alexander J. Malcolm, Andrew N. Glaudell, Patricio Fuentes +10

It is the prevailing belief that quantum error correcting techniques will be required to build a utility-scale quantum computer able to perform computations that are out of reach o…

On the p-width of finite simple groups

Alexander J. Malcolm

In this paper we measure how efficiently a finite simple group $G$ is generated by its elements of order $p$ , where $p$ is a fixed prime. This measure, known as the $p$ -width of $G…

The p-width of the alternating groups

Alexander J. Malcolm

Let $p$ be a fixed prime. For a finite group generated by elements of order $p$ , the $p$ -width is defined to be the minimal $k \in N$ such that any group element can be writ…

The involution width of finite simple groups

Alexander J. Malcolm

For a finite group generated by involutions, the involution width is defined to be the minimal $k \in N$ such that any group element can be written as a product of at most $…
