Subgroup Problem

In this paper, we consider the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) over the class of semi-direct product groups $\mathbb{Z}_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_q$, for $p$ and $q$ prime. We first present a classification of these groups in five classes. Then, we describe a polynomial-time quantum algorithm solving the HSP over all the groups of one of these classes: the groups of the form $\mathbb{Z}_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_p$, where $p$ is an odd prime. Our algorithm works even in the most general case where the group is presented as a black-box group with not necessarily unique encoding. Finally, we extend this result and present an efficient algorithm solving the HSP over the groups $\mathbb{Z}^m_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_p$.

Query Algorithms

The Hidden Subgroup Problem (HSP) is at the forefront of problems in quantum algorithms. In this paper, we introduce a new query, the \textit{character} query, generalizing the well-known phase kickback trick that was first used successfully to efficiently solve Deutsch's problem. An equal superposition query with $\vert 0 \rangle$ in the response register is typically used in the ``standard method" of single-query algorithms for the HSP. The proposed character query improves over this query by maximizing the success probability of subgroup identification under a uniform prior, for the HSP in which the oracle functions take values in a finite abelian group. We apply our results to the case when the subgroups are drawn from a set of conjugate subgroups and obtain a success probability greater than that found by Moore and Russell.

The fastest quantum algorithms (for the solution of classical computational tasks) known so far are basically variations of the hidden subgroup problem with {$f(U[x])=f(x)$}. Following a discussion regarding which tasks might be solved efficiently by quantum computers, it will be demonstrated by means of a simple example, that the detection of more general hidden (two-point) symmetries {$V\{f(x),f(U[x])\}=0$} by a quantum algorithm can also admit an exponential speed-up. E.g., one member of this class of symmetries {$V\{f(x),f(U[x])\}=0$} is discrete self-similarity (or discrete scale invariance).

Hidden Subgroups

In this paper we show that certain special cases of the hidden subgroup problem can be solved in polynomial time by a quantum algorithm. These special cases involve finding hidden normal subgroups of solvable groups and permutation groups, finding hidden subgroups of groups with small commutator subgroup and of groups admitting an elementary Abelian normal 2-subgroup of small index or with cyclic factor group.

Subgroup Problem

The hidden subgroup problem (HSP) plays an important role in quantum computation, because many quantum algorithms that are exponentially faster than classical algorithms are special cases of the HSP. In this paper we show that there exist a new efficient quantum algorithm for the HSP on groups $\Z_{N}\rtimes\Z_{q^s}$ where $N$ is an integer with a special prime factorization, $q$ prime number and $s$ any positive integer.

Quantum Fourier Transforms

The quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is an important ingredient in various quantum algorithms which achieve superpolynomial speed-ups over classical computers. In this paper we study under which conditions the QFT can be simulated efficiently classically. We introduce a class of quantum circuits, called \emph{normalizer circuits}: a normalizer circuit over a finite Abelian group is any quantum circuit comprising the QFT over the group, gates which compute automorphisms and gates which realize quadratic functions on the group. In our main result we prove that all normalizer circuits have polynomial-time classical simulations. The proof uses algorithms for linear diophantine equation solving and the monomial matrix formalism introduced in our earlier work. Our result generalizes the Gottesman-Knill theorem: in particular, Clifford circuits for $d$-level qudits arise as normalizer circuits over the group ${\mathbf Z}_d^m$. We also highlight connections between normalizer circuits and Shor's factoring algorithm, and the Abelian hidden subgroup problem in general. Finally we prove that quantum factoring cannot be realized as a normalizer circuit owing to its modular exponentiation subroutine.

Subgroup Problem

We consider a recently proposed generalisation of the abelian hidden subgroup problem: the {\em shifted subset problem}. The problem is to determine a subset $S$ of some abelian group, given access to quantum states of the form $\ket{S+x}$, for some unknown shift $x$. We give quantum algorithms to find Hamming spheres and other subsets of the boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$. The algorithms have time complexity polynomial in $n$ and give rise to exponential separations from classical computation.

Quantum computers can break the RSA, El Gamal, and elliptic curve public-key cryptosystems, as they can efficiently factor integers and extract discrete logarithms. The power of such quantum attacks lies in \emph{quantum Fourier sampling}, an algorithmic paradigm based on generating and measuring coset states. %This motivates the investigation of the power or limitations of quantum Fourier sampling, especially in attacking candidates for ``post-quantum'' cryptosystems -- classical cryptosystems that can be implemented with today's computers but will remain secure even in the presence of quantum attacks. In this article we extend previous negative results of quantum Fourier sampling for Graph Isomorphism, which corresponds to hidden subgroups of order two (over S_n, to several cases corresponding to larger hidden subgroups. For one case, we strengthen some results of Kempe, Pyber, and Shalev on the Hidden Subgroup Problem over the symmetric group. In another case, we show the failure of quantum Fourier sampling on the Hidden Subgroup Problem over the general linear group GL_2(\FF_q). The most important case corresponds to Code Equivalence, the problem of determining whether two given linear codes are equivalent to each other up to a permutation of the coordinates. Our results suggest that for many codes of interest---including generalized Reed Solomon codes, alternant codes, and Reed-Muller codes---solving these instances of Code Equivalence via Fourier sampling appears to be out of reach of current families of quantum algorithms.
