Simultaneously Query-Optimal Quantum Linear-System Algorithm

Quantum linear-system algorithms access the coefficient matrix through a block-encoding oracle $U_A$ and the right-hand side through a state-preparation oracle $U_b$. The optimal query complexities of these two oracles are known separately: $O(\kappa\log(1/\varepsilon))$ queries to $U_A$ and $O(\kappa/s)$ queries to $U...

Optimal Covariance Inflation under Gaussian Tilts

Covariance-sensitive analyses of Gaussian annealing for sampling from a convex body require controlling how much covariance can grow under a radial Gaussian tilt. For an isotropic convex body $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, let $\mu_{K,t} (\mathrm{d} x) \propto e^{-t\| x \| ^2} \mathbb{1}_K(x)\,\mathrm{d} x$, and let $Q_n$ b...

Gate-Efficient Implementation of the Query-Optimal Time-Dependent Hamiltonian Simulation

The query-optimal algorithm of [CGWZ26] for general time-dependent Hamiltonian simulation uses $$ q = O\left( \alpha T + \frac{\log(1/\varepsilon)}{\log\left(e + \log(1/\varepsilon)/(\alpha T) \right)} \right) $$ queries to $\mathrm{HAM\mbox{-}T}$ within $\varepsilon$ error for a Lipschitz-continuous time-dependent Ham...

A Generalized Stein Lemma for Quantum Channels

We prove a generalized quantum Stein lemma for parallel discrimination of an arbitrary finite-dimensional channel against families of alternative channels. The alternatives are compact and convex, closed under tensor products, and contain a faithful replacer. At every fixed type-I error tolerance, the optimal type-II e...

Near-Optimal Quantum Algorithm and Complexity Analysis for Riccati Problems

We develop quantum algorithms that construct block-encodings of solution matrices for continuous- and discrete-time algebraic Riccati equations (CAREs and DAREs), differential Riccati equations (DREs), and finite Riccati recursions. The Quantum Weighted Riesz Method, unifying four kinds of Riccati problems, constructs...

Quantum Speedups for Log-Concave Sampling from Local Structure

If each coordinate appears in only a small number of clauses, there is a quantum algorithm for strongly log-concave sampling using local queries using $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{\kappa}d)$ local queries, where $\kappa$ is the condition number.

Quantum Query Advantage Requires Space

The separation is obtained through a one-bit filtered-parity construction and a space-sensitive quantum lower bound based on compressed-oracle capacity and a new parity-to-capacity inequality, which may be of independent interest.

A Correlation-Gap Bound for Nonlinear Gaussian PCA

A dimension-free version of the retained-energy form of the Mallat--Zeitouni conjecture is established, showing that the KL basis is within this factor of the optimal basis, and shows that the possible advantage of optimizing over all orthonormal bases vanishes as $d$ grows.
