Planted Cliques and Quantum Symmetry-Adapted Measurements

We study how quantum encodings and symmetry-adapted measurements preserve information for planted-clique detection from one classical graph. For $k=\lfloor n^{1/2-\varepsilon}\rfloor$, with fixed $0<\varepsilon<1/2$, detection is statistically possible but conjectured hard for polynomial-time classical algorithms. For...
