Parallel Kolmogorov Complexity with Connections to Learning Theory and Cryptography

We introduce a new family of *parallel* time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity measures ($KP^t$).
A string $w$ has low $KP^t$ complexity if any individual bit of $w$ can be decompressed from a "short" description using "few" parallel processors within at most $t$ steps.

The definition of $KP^t$ uses Parallel Random Access Machines ... more >>>

QMA Lower Bounds for Batch Verification via Approximate Degree

We study batch verification in QMA query and communication complexity, where the goal is to understand how the resources needed to verify $m$ copies of a Boolean function $f$ depend on $m$. We give a general technique for proving lower bounds on the witness-query tradeoff needed to batch verify a ... more >>>

Frustration Free Stoquastic Local Hamiltonian with Sub-Constant Gap is in $\NP$

Revisions: 1

We continue the study of the Stoquastic Local Hamiltonian problem, a physically motivated restriction of the $\QMA$-complete Local Hamiltonian problem \cite{KSV02}. For the $\beta$-gapped, frustration-free case, \citet{BBT06} showed that the problem is $\MA$-complete when $\beta= \frac{1}{\poly(n)}$. \citet{AG19} derandomized this algorithm and proved membership in $\NP$ for constant gap $\beta = ... more >>>
