• Abstract: We give a new presentation of the main result of Arunachalam, Bri\"et and Palazuelos (SICOMP'19) and show that quantum query algorithms are characterized by a new class of polynomials which we call Fourier completely bounded polynomials. We conjecture that all such polynomials have an influential variable. This conjecture is weaker than the famous Aaronson-Ambainis (AA) conjecture (Theory of Computing'14), but has the same implications for classical simulation of quantum query algorithms. We prove a new case of the AA conjecture by showing that it holds for homogeneous Fourier completely bounded polynomials. This implies that if the output of $d$-query quantum algorithm is a homogeneous polynomial $p$ of degree $2d$, then it has a variable with influence at least $Var[p]^2$. In addition, we give an alternative proof of the results of Bansal, Sinha and de Wolf (CCC'22 and QIP'23) showing that block-multilinear completely bounded polynomials have influential variables. Our proof is simpler, obtains better constants and does not use randomness.

  To implement a given $P$, one must first construct a corresponding complementary $Q$. Existing approaches to this problem employ numerical methods that are not amenable to explicit error analysis. We present a new approach to complementarys using complex analysis.

  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.

For some problems, the ability to perform adaptive measurements in a single shallow quantum circuit is more useful than the ability to perform many shallow quantum circuits without adaptive measurements.
