• Title: Quantum Oracle Separations from Complex but Easily Specified States
• Authors: Nicholas LaRacuente
• Abstract summary: A quantum oracle is a black box unitary callable during quantum computation. We constrain the marked state in ways that make it easy to specify classically while retaining separations in task complexity. Using the fact that classically defined oracle may enable a quantum algorithm to prepare an otherwise hard state in steps, we observe quantum-classical oracle separation in heavy output sampling.

• Abstract: A foundational question in quantum computational complexity asks how much more useful a quantum state can be in a given task than a comparable, classical string. Aaronson and Kuperberg showed such a separation in the presence of a quantum oracle, a black box unitary callable during quantum computation. Their quantum oracle responds to a random, marked, quantum state, which is intractable to specify classically. We constrain the marked state in ways that make it easy to specify classically while retaining separations in task complexity. Our method replaces query by state complexity. Furthermore, assuming a widely believed separation between the difficulty of creating a random, complex state and creating a specified state, we propose an experimental demonstration of quantum witness advantage on near-term, distributed quantum computers. Finally, using the fact that a standard, classically defined oracle may enable a quantum algorithm to prepare an otherwise hard state in polynomial steps, we observe quantum-classical oracle separation in heavy output sampling.

• Characterization of quantum states based on creation complexity [0.0]
  The creation complexity of a quantum state is the minimum number of elementary gates required to create it from a basic initial state. We show for an entirely general quantum state it is exponentially hard (requires a number of steps that scales exponentially with the number of qubits) to determine if the creation complexity is. We then show it is possible for a large class of quantum states with creation complexity to have common coefficient features such that given any candidate quantum state we can design an efficient coefficient sampling procedure to determine if it belongs to the class or not with arbitrarily high success probability.
