Local Test for Unitarily Invariant Properties of Bipartite Quantum States

arXiv:2404.04599v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the power of local test for bipartite quantum states. Our central result is that, for properties of bipartite pure states, unitary invariance on one…

Separating Non-redundancy and Chain Length

arXiv:2609.17914v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For a constraint satisfaction problem defined by a relation $R$, its non-redundancy $\text{NRD}(R,n)$ is the size of largest instance (as a function of the number $n$ of…

An Operator Approach to Register Programs for Catalytic Computing

arXiv:2609.18692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In a seminal work, Buhrman et al.\ (STOC 2014) introduced catalytic computation and proved that uniform $TC^1$ circuits are computable in catalytic logspace, the class of…
