• Title: Bounds on the QAC$^0$ Complexity of Approximating Parity
• Authors: Gregory Rosenthal
• Abstract summary: We prove that QAC circuits of sublogarithmic depth can approximate parity regardless of size. QAC circuits require at least $Omega(n/d)$ multi-qubit gates to achieve a $1/2 + exp(-o(n/d))$ approximation of parity.

• Abstract: QAC circuits are quantum circuits with one-qubit gates and Toffoli gates of arbitrary arity. QAC$^0$ circuits are QAC circuits of constant depth, and are quantum analogues of AC$^0$ circuits. We prove the following: $\bullet$ For all $d \ge 7$ and $\varepsilon>0$ there is a depth-$d$ QAC circuit of size $\exp(\mathrm{poly}(n^{1/d}) \log(n/\varepsilon))$ that approximates the $n$-qubit parity function to within error $\varepsilon$ on worst-case quantum inputs. Previously it was unknown whether QAC circuits of sublogarithmic depth could approximate parity regardless of size. $\bullet$ We introduce a class of "mostly classical" QAC circuits, including a major component of our circuit from the above upper bound, and prove a tight lower bound on the size of low-depth, mostly classical QAC circuits that approximate this component. $\bullet$ Arbitrary depth-$d$ QAC circuits require at least $\Omega(n/d)$ multi-qubit gates to achieve a $1/2 + \exp(-o(n/d))$ approximation of parity. When $d = \Theta(\log n)$ this nearly matches an easy $O(n)$ size upper bound for computing parity exactly. $\bullet$ QAC circuits with at most two layers of multi-qubit gates cannot achieve a $1/2 + \exp(-o(n))$ approximation of parity, even non-cleanly. Previously it was known only that such circuits could not cleanly compute parity exactly for sufficiently large $n$. The proofs use a new normal form for quantum circuits which may be of independent interest, and are based on reductions to the problem of constructing certain generalizations of the cat state which we name "nekomata" after an analogous cat y\=okai.

Alternatively, by reintroducing a concept from the adiabatic path-following technique, we show that $O(kappa)$ complexity can be achieved for norm estimation.

  We study the distribution over measurement outcomes of noisy random quantum circuits in the low-fidelity regime. For local noise that is sufficiently weak and unital, correlations (measured by the linear cross-entropy benchmark) between the output distribution $p_textnoisy$ of a generic noisy circuit instance shrink exponentially. If the noise is incoherent, the output distribution approaches the uniform distribution $p_textunif$ at precisely the same rate.
