Quantum Algorithms for Subset SUM and $k$-SUM: Faster and Simpler

The Subset Sum problem asks whether, given $n$ integers and a target, some subset of the integers sums to the target. Its best known worst-case running time is $O^*(2^{n/2})$ (Horowitz and Sahni, 1974), whereas the best quantum upper bound is $O^*(2^{n/3})$ (Bernstein, Jeffery, Lange, and Meurer, 2013). The $k$-SUM problem ... more >>>
