• Title: Unitary property testing lower bounds by polynomials
• Authors: Adrian She, Henry Yuen
• Abstract summary: We study unitary property testing, where a quantum algorithm is given query access to a black-box unitary. Characterizing the complexity of these problems requires new algorithmic techniques and lower bound methods. We present a unitary property testing-based approach towards an oracle separation between $mathsfQMA$ and $mathsfQMA(2)$.

• Abstract: We study unitary property testing, where a quantum algorithm is given query access to a black-box unitary and has to decide whether it satisfies some property. In addition to containing the standard quantum query complexity model (where the unitary encodes a binary string) as a special case, this model contains "inherently quantum" problems that have no classical analogue. Characterizing the query complexity of these problems requires new algorithmic techniques and lower bound methods. Our main contribution is a generalized polynomial method for unitary property testing problems. By leveraging connections with invariant theory, we apply this method to obtain lower bounds on problems such as determining recurrence times of unitaries, approximating the dimension of a marked subspace, and approximating the entanglement entropy of a marked state. We also present a unitary property testing-based approach towards an oracle separation between $\mathsf{QMA}$ and $\mathsf{QMA(2)}$, a long standing question in quantum complexity theory.

  We study the relationship between quantum cryptography and complexity theory, especially within Impagliazzo's five worlds framework. We focus on complexity classes p/mBQP, p/mQ(C)MA, $mathrmp/mQSZK_hv$, p/mQIP, and p/mPSPACE, where "p/mC" denotes classes with pure (p) or mixed (m) states. We apply this framework to cryptography, showing that breaking one-way state generators, pseudorandom states, and EFI is bounded by mQCMA or

  We study the power of unentangled quantum proofs with non-negative amplitudes, a class which we denote $textQMA+(2)$. In particular, we design global protocols for small set expansion, unique games, and PCP verification. We show that QMA(2) is equal to $textQMA+(2)$ provided the gap of the latter is a sufficiently large constant.

• Lower bounds for quantum-inspired classical algorithms via communication complexity [0.5461938536945723]
  We focus on lower bounds for solving linear regressions, supervised clustering, principal component analysis, recommendation systems, and Hamiltonian simulations. We prove a quadratic lower bound in terms of the Frobenius norm of the underlying matrix. As quantum algorithms are linear in the Frobenius norm for those problems, our results mean that the quantum-classical separation is at least quadratic.

  We propose a new technique for proving lower bounds on the quantum query of unitary property testing. All obtained lower bounds hold for any $mathsfC$-tester with $mathsfC subseteq mathsfQMA(2)/mathsfqpoly$. We show that there exist quantum oracles relative to which $mathsfQMA(2) notsupset mathsfSBQP$ and $mathsfQMA/mathsfqpoly

  We study the query complexity of Boolean functions under general higher order quantum computations. We show that the recently introduced class of quantum circuits with quantum control of causal order cannot lead to any reduction in query complexity. We find some functions for which the minimum error with which they can be computed using two queries is strictly lower when exploiting causally indefinite supermaps.

  Quantum algorithms for topological data analysis seem to provide an exponential advantage over the best classical approach. We show that the central task of TDA -- estimating Betti numbers -- is intractable even for quantum computers. We argue that an exponential quantum advantage can be recovered if the input data is given as a specification of simplices.
