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 $\NP$

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 >>>

Matrix identities are hard: Fast blackbox PIT for noncommutative exponential-size constant-depth homogeneous circuits

In this work we give a randomized blackbox polynomial identity testing (PIT) algorithm for constant-depth homogeneous noncommutative circuits, with poly-logarithmic time complexity in the circuit size. In fact, we show that the polynomial computable by such a depth-$(\Delta-1)$ circuit of size $s$ cannot be a polynomial identity for the $O(\log ... more >>>
