We consider the problems of testing and learning quantum $k$-junta channels, which are $n$-qubit to $n$-qubit quantum channels acting non-trivially on at most $k$ out of $n$ qubits and leaving the rest of qubits unchanged. We show the following. 1. An $\widetilde{O}\left(k\right)$-query algorithm to distinguish whether the given channel is $k$-junta channel or is far from any $k$-junta channels, and a lower bound $\Omega\left(\sqrt{k}\right)$ on the number of queries; 2. An $\widetilde{O}\left(4^k\right)$-query algorithm to learn a $k$-junta channel, and a lower bound $\Omega\left(4^k/k\right)$ on the number of queries. This gives the first junta channel testing and learning results, and partially answers an open problem raised by Chen et al. (2023). In order to settle these problems, we develop a Fourier analysis framework over the space of superoperators and prove several fundamental properties, which extends the Fourier analysis over the space of operators introduced in Montanaro and Osborne (2010).

Non-asymptotic convergence analysis of quasi-Newton methods has gained attention with a landmark result establishing an explicit superlinear rate of O$((1/\sqrt{t})^t)$. The methods that obtain this rate, however, exhibit a well-known drawback: they require the storage of the previous Hessian approximation matrix or instead storing all past curvature information to form the current Hessian inverse approximation. Limited-memory variants of quasi-Newton methods such as the celebrated L-BFGS alleviate this issue by leveraging a limited window of past curvature information to construct the Hessian inverse approximation. As a result, their per iteration complexity and storage requirement is O$(\tau d)$ where $\tau \le d$ is the size of the window and $d$ is the problem dimension reducing the O$(d^2)$ computational cost and memory requirement of standard quasi-Newton methods. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no result showing a non-asymptotic superlinear convergence rate for any limited-memory quasi-Newton method. In this work, we close this gap by presenting a limited-memory greedy BFGS (LG-BFGS) method that achieves an explicit non-asymptotic superlinear rate. We incorporate displacement aggregation, i.e., decorrelating projection, in post-processing gradient variations, together with a basis vector selection scheme on variable variations, which greedily maximizes a progress measure of the Hessian estimate to the true Hessian. Their combination allows past curvature information to remain in a sparse subspace while yielding a valid representation of the full history. Interestingly, our established non-asymptotic superlinear convergence rate demonstrates a trade-off between the convergence speed and memory requirement, which to our knowledge, is the first of its kind. Numerical results corroborate our theoretical findings and demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Complexity theory typically focuses on the difficulty of solving computational problems using classical inputs and outputs, even with a quantum computer. In the quantum world, it is natural to apply a different notion of complexity, namely the complexity of synthesizing quantum states. We investigate a state-synthesizing counterpart of the class NP, referred to as stateQMA, which is concerned with preparing certain quantum states through a polynomial-time quantum verifier with the aid of a single quantum message from an all-powerful but untrusted prover. This is a subclass of the class stateQIP recently introduced by Rosenthal and Yuen (ITCS 2022), which permits polynomially many interactions between the prover and the verifier. Our main result consists of error reduction of this class and its variants with an exponentially small gap or a bounded space, as well as how this class relates to other fundamental state synthesizing classes, i.e., states generated by uniform polynomial-time quantum circuits (stateBQP) and space-uniform polynomial-space quantum circuits (statePSPACE). Furthermore, we establish that the family of UQMA witnesses, considered as one of the most natural candidates, is in stateQMA. Additionally, we demonstrate that stateQCMA achieves perfect completeness.

The title of this paper is motivated by the title of the paper by Forsythe written in 1952 and published in Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 59 (1953), pp. 299-329. Forsythe argues that solving a system of $n$ linear algebraic equations in $n$ unknowns is mathematically a lowly subject. His beautiful text graduates with what was at that time ``the newest process on the roster, the method of conjugate gradients.'' We consider it important to revisit, after 70 years, to what extent Forsythe's views, and the views presented in the related contemporary works of Hestenes, Stiefel, Lanczos, Karush, and Hayes, remain relevant today. Including, besides the conjugate gradient method (CG), also the generalized minimal residual method (GMRES), we point out building blocks that we consider central for the current mathematical and computational understanding of Krylov subspace methods. We accomplish this through a set of computed examples. We keep technical details to a minimum and provide references to the literature. This allows us to demonstrate the mathematical beauty and intricacies of the methods, and to recall some persistent misunderstandings as well as important open problems. We hope that this work can initiate further theoretical investigations of Krylov subspace methods. This paper can not cover all Krylov subspace methods. The principles discussed for CG and GMRES are, however, important for all of them. Further, practical computations always incorporate preconditioning. We will not deal with preconditioning techniques, but we will deal with the basic question of how preconditioning is motivated, and we will recall some recent analytic results.

State estimation of robotic systems is essential to implementing feedback controllers which usually provide better robustness to modeling uncertainties than open-loop controllers. However, state estimation of soft robots is very challenging because soft robots have theoretically infinite degrees of freedom while existing sensors only provide a limited number of discrete measurements. In this paper, we design an observer for soft continuum robotic arms based on the well-known Cosserat rod theory which models continuum robotic arms by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). The observer is able to estimate all the continuum (infinite-dimensional) robot states (poses, strains, and velocities) by only sensing the tip velocity of the continuum robot (and hence it is called a ``boundary'' observer). More importantly, the estimation error dynamics is formally proven to be locally input-to-state stable. The key idea is to inject sequential tip velocity measurements into the observer in a way that dissipates the energy of the estimation errors through the boundary. Furthermore, this boundary observer can be implemented by simply changing a boundary condition in any numerical solvers of Cosserat rod models. Extensive numerical studies are included and suggest that the domain of attraction is large and the observer is robust to uncertainties of tip velocity measurements and model parameters.

The general adversary dual is a powerful tool in quantum computing because it gives a query-optimal bounded-error quantum algorithm for deciding any Boolean function. Unfortunately, the algorithm uses linear qubits in the worst case, and only works if the constraints of the general adversary dual are exactly satisfied. The challenge of improving the algorithm is that it is brittle to arbitrarily small errors since it relies on a reflection over a span of vectors. We overcome this challenge and build a robust dual adversary algorithm that can handle approximately satisfied constraints. As one application of our robust algorithm, we prove that for any Boolean function with polynomially many 1-valued inputs (or in fact a slightly weaker condition) there is a query-optimal algorithm that uses logarithmic qubits. As another application, we prove that numerically derived, approximate solutions to the general adversary dual give a bounded-error quantum algorithm under certain conditions. Further, we show that these conditions empirically hold with reasonable iterations for Boolean functions with small domains. We also develop several tools that may be of independent interest, including a robust approximate spectral gap lemma, a method to compress a general adversary dual solution using the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma, and open-source code to find solutions to the general adversary dual.

Cumulative memory -- the sum of space used per step over the duration of a computation -- is a fine-grained measure of time-space complexity that was introduced to analyze cryptographic applications like password hashing. It is a more accurate cost measure for algorithms that have infrequent spikes in memory usage and are run in environments such as cloud computing that allow dynamic allocation and de-allocation of resources during execution, or when many multiple instances of an algorithm are interleaved in parallel. We prove the first lower bounds on cumulative memory complexity for both sequential classical computation and quantum circuits. Moreover, we develop general paradigms for bounding cumulative memory complexity inspired by the standard paradigms for proving time-space tradeoff lower bounds that can only lower bound the maximum space used during an execution. The resulting lower bounds on cumulative memory that we obtain are just as strong as the best time-space tradeoff lower bounds, which are very often known to be tight. Although previous results for pebbling and random oracle models have yielded time-space tradeoff lower bounds larger than the cumulative memory complexity, our results show that in general computational models such separations cannot follow from known lower bound techniques and are not true for many functions. Among many possible applications of our general methods, we show that any classical sorting algorithm with success probability at least $1/\text{poly}(n)$ requires cumulative memory $\tilde \Omega(n^2)$, any classical matrix multiplication algorithm requires cumulative memory $\Omega(n^6/T)$, any quantum sorting circuit requires cumulative memory $\Omega(n^3/T)$, and any quantum circuit that finds $k$ disjoint collisions in a random function requires cumulative memory $\Omega(k^3n/T^2)$.

Post-quantum security is critical in the quantum era. Quantum computers, along with quantum algorithms, make the standard cryptography based on RSA or ECDSA over FL or Blockchain vulnerable. The implementation of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) over such systems is poorly understood as PQC is still in its standardization phase. In this work, we propose a hybrid approach to employ PQC over blockchain-based FL (BFL), where we combine a stateless signature scheme like Dilithium (or Falcon) with a stateful hash-based signature scheme like the extended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS). We propose a linearbased formulaic approach to device role selection mechanisms based on multiple factors to address the performance aspect. Our holistic approach of utilizing a verifiable random function (VRF) to assist in the blockchain consensus mechanism shows the practicality of the proposed approaches. The proposed method and extensive experimental results contribute to enhancing the security and performance aspects of BFL systems.

Most link prediction methods return estimates of the connection probability of missing edges in a graph. Such output can be used to rank the missing edges, from most to least likely to be a true edge, but it does not directly provide a classification into true and non-existent. In this work, we consider the problem of identifying a set of true edges with a control of the false discovery rate (FDR). We propose a novel method based on high-level ideas from the literature on conformal inference. The graph structure induces intricate dependence in the data, which we carefully take into account, as this makes the setup different from the usual setup in conformal inference, where exchangeability is assumed. The FDR control is empirically demonstrated for both simulated and real data.

Linear computations over quantum many-to-one communication networks offer opportunities for communication cost improvements through schemes that exploit quantum entanglement among transmitters to achieve superdense coding gains, combined with classical techniques such as interference alignment. The problem becomes much more broadly accessible if suitable abstractions can be found for the underlying quantum functionality via classical black box models. This work formalizes such an abstraction in the form of an "$N$-sum box", a black box generalization of a two-sum protocol of Song \emph{et al.} with recent applications to $N$-server private information retrieval. The $N$-sum box has a communication cost of $N$ qudits and classical output of a vector of $N$ $q$-ary digits linearly dependent (via an $N \times 2N$ transfer matrix) on $2N$ classical inputs distributed among $N$ transmitters. We characterize which transfer matrices are feasible by our construction, both with and without the possibility of additional locally invertible classical operations at the transmitters and receivers. Furthermore, we provide a sample application to Cross-Subspace Alignment (CSA) schemes to obtain efficient instances of Quantum Private Information Retrieval (QPIR) and Quantum Secure Distributed Batch Matrix Multiplication (QSDBMM). We first describe $N$-sum boxes based on maximal stabilizers and we then consider non-maximal-stabilizer-based constructions to obtain an instance of Quantum Symmetric Private Information Retrieval.
