• Abstract summary: We provide improvements for some instantiations of the Optimal Polynomial Interpolation (OPI) problem. Our results provide natural and convincing decoding problems for which we believe to have a quantum advantage. In order to be able to use a decoder in the setting of Regev's reduction, we provide a novel reduction from a syndrome to a coset sampling problem.

• Abstract: In the last years, Regev's reduction has been used as a quantum algorithmic tool for providing a quantum advantage for variants of the decoding problem. Following this line of work, the authors of [JSW+24] have recently come up with a quantum algorithm called Decoded Quantum Interferometry that is able to solve in polynomial time several optimization problems. They study in particular the Optimal Polynomial Interpolation (OPI) problem, which can be seen as a decoding problem on Reed-Solomon codes. In this work, we provide strong improvements for some instantiations of the OPI problem. The most notable improvements are for the $ISIS_{\infty}$ problem (originating from lattice-based cryptography) on Reed-Solomon codes but we also study different constraints for OPI. Our results provide natural and convincing decoding problems for which we believe to have a quantum advantage. Our proof techniques involve the use of a soft decoder for Reed-Solomon codes, namely the decoding algorithm from Koetter and Vardy [KV03]. In order to be able to use this decoder in the setting of Regev's reduction, we provide a novel generic reduction from a syndrome decoding problem to a coset sampling problem, providing a powerful and simple to use theorem, which generalizes previous work and is of independent interest. We also provide an extensive study of OPI using the Koetter and Vardy algorithm.

  Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes are an important component in the quest for fault tolerance. Recent progress on qLDPC codes has led to constructions which are quantumally good, and which admit linear-time decoders to correct errors affecting a constant fraction of codeword qubits. In practice, the surface/toric codes, which are the product of two repetition codes, are still often the qLDPC codes of choice.

  We consider the quantum decoding problem, where we are given a superposition of noisy versions of a codeword. We show that when the noise rate is small enough, then the quantum decoding problem can be solved in quantum time. We also show that the problem can in principle be solved quantumly for noise rates for which the associated classical decoding problem cannot be solved.

We show that these enumerators can be used to compute logical error rates exactly and thus construct decoders for any i.i.d. single qubit or qudit error channels.
