Query-optimal estimation of unitary channels in diamond distance
Abstract. We will present an algorithm to learn an unknown unitary channel acting on a d-dimensional qudit to diamond-norm error \(\varepsilon\), using \(O(d^2/\varepsilon)\) applications of the unknown channel and only one qudit. This algorithm uses the optimal number of qudits and number of queries up to a sub-logarithmic factor, even if one has access to the inverse or controlled versions of the unknown unitary. This improves over prior work, which achieves entanglement infidelity \(\delta\) using \(O(d^2/\sqrt{\delta})\) applications in parallel, thereby requiring \(\Omega(d^2)\) qudits. Based on joint work with Jeongwan Haah, Robin Kothari, and Ryan O'Donnell.

Adaptive measurement-based quantum computation of classical Boolean functions: Exponential reductions in space-time resources
Abstract. We study the resource costs required to compute a variety of nonlinear Boolean functions via adaptive measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) with a mod-2 linear classical side-processor, better known as \(l2\)-MBQC. We give an explict example of how constant-depth quantum circuits with the aid of mid-circuit measurements can compute the so-called mod-3 function on \(n\)-bits---and more generally mod-\(p\) functions for any prime \(p\)---using an \(O(n)\) qubit resource state and a constant number of rounds of interaction with the classical side-processor. In constrast, we show that the same task requires \(\Omega(2^n)\) qubits in the nonadaptive setting. Our results also give an oracular separation between the power of constant-depth quantum circuits and constant-depth classical circuits with unbounded fan-in NAND and mod-\(p\) gates.
