• Abstract: We study the problem of designing worst-case to average-case reductions for quantum algorithms. For all linear problems, we provide an explicit and efficient transformation of quantum algorithms that are only correct on a small (even sub-constant) fraction of their inputs into ones that are correct on all inputs. This stands in contrast to the classical setting, where such results are only known for a small number of specific problems or restricted computational models. En route, we obtain a tight $\Omega(n^2)$ lower bound on the average-case quantum query complexity of the Matrix-Vector Multiplication problem. Our techniques strengthen and generalise the recently introduced additive combinatorics framework for classical worst-case to average-case reductions (STOC 2022) to the quantum setting. We rely on quantum singular value transformations to construct quantum algorithms for linear verification in superposition and learning Bogolyubov subspaces from noisy quantum oracles. We use these tools to prove a quantum local correction lemma, which lies at the heart of our reductions, based on a noise-robust probabilistic generalisation of Bogolyubov's lemma from additive combinatorics.

  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.

  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.

  Matching problems on 3D shapes and images are frequently formulated as quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) with permutation matrix constraints, which are NP-hard. We propose several reformulations of QAPs as unconstrained problems suitable for efficient execution on quantum hardware. The proposed algorithm has the potential to scale to higher dimensions on future quantum computing architectures.
