Yes, that’s what I mean. It gives you the best of both worlds. Similar to gate level efficiency but for any finite QRAM you have an error correction threshold.
On further thought, I see what you're saying: transversal gates are closed under composition, and QRAM circuits can be built from Toffoli + X + ancilla, therefore the two cases I distinguished above are the same case.
...(continued)Thank you for your comment. In our analysis of "circuit" QRAM, we assume error correction on the bucket-brigade, but we also consider "gate" QRAM, and different approaches to implement the bucket-brigade without fault tolerance on each node (specifically in Section VII).
We'll look into quantum p
...(continued)One quick comment on the treatment of bucket-brigade QRAM in the current paper and more generally in the literature: There seems to be an inbuilt assumption that full fault-tolerance must occur within the memory (there is a reference to the distance of surface code required and to magic state distil
...(continued)You can check the distance with a program to see that it is 2. If you construct a parity check matrix for the code that James is talking about given the stabilizers at the top of page 9 you find that the distance is 2.
For example, you can use the [compute_code_distance function in the python pack
The reason of code distance 3 of Fig. 4 is explained in the latest version of the manuscript entitled as "A genus-two code" arXiv:2211.12695 .

I would say the main purpose of the Hamiltonian is that it defines the eigenstates which we prepare. Since the Hamiltonian is a commuting projector Hamiltonian, one route would be to directly measure its terms and then correct for the outcomes. However, the proto

What I'm confused about: how does the specific Hamiltonian come into this simulation? Do I understand correctly that the applied gate sequence works well because we have a good analytical understanding of the simulated system (so that we can use a known gate sequence for state
Very interesting!
Very interesting!
Thanks!
I've added these results to [Metriq](https://metriq.info/Submission/561) in case anyone wants to see how it compares to other platforms
Awesome! Great work!

The two works have different objectives. The Google paper you mention creates an **Abelian topological order (TO)**, namely the Z_2 toric code. On top of this, they create and control lattice defects in this state. These are one-dimensional defects in the two

Thank you for your comment.
I just realized that the type-II fusion used in the proposed scheme is a variant that measures $\\{ZZ, YX\\}$, which is shown in Fig. 10(a). It can be verified easily that this type of fusion is sufficient for the scheme in Fig. 4. Moreover, since $Z_1$ an

I agree with Seok-Hyung that the Type II fusion scheme given in Figure 3 is actually measuring $X_1 Z_2$ and $Z_1 X_2$, and that failure leads to measurement of $X$ on one qubit and $Z$ on the other. This is problematic for the boosted fusion protocol presented here, because a $Z$ measur

It seems the result applies to $f$ which has integer points as the extreme points of its solution set, or, better said, any $f: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ whose set of minimize
...(continued)Thank you, Craig. We intend to explore deeper circuits (hopefully in the ballpark of what you've suggested) in the future. Pushing the circuits to the brink of failure at the chosen error rate would, no doubt, be a useful experiment.
Also, our goal here was to establish the value of the DS-ZNE idea

For scale, note that you want ~100 non-Clifford gates for the circuit to not be classically simulable. This is why you'd at least want to

First, congratulations on the publication of your paper! Your paper seems to be very appealing to researchers studying MBQC and photonic quantum computing like me.
I have one question regarding your work. In page 6, it is written that a type-II fusion failure leads to $Z$ measurements on both

can be made variable by shuttling atoms during the computation" Is any neutral atom computing vendor seriously considering this _during computation_?

Ah, I think I understood. Thanks for your kind answer!
Since you have analyzed the shadow norm and inversion of observables as a function of low depth d, I don't think I've experienced some difficulty reading this paper due to the above question :)
Best regards,

...(continued)Hi, thank you for the comment, and sorry for the late reply, we missed it!
The main result in the paper you mention is formulated in terms of the Haar measure on the unitary group, but since the uniform distribution on the Clifford group forms a 3 design, the t-th moment operator for t≤3 for this m
Dear Aram and Francois,
thanks for your answers!
Yes, I was wondering particularly about the dequantizations for sparse matrices in Gharibian and Le Gall (STOC 2022). Your information about the degree of polynomials solved my paradox. :)
...(continued)Aram is absolutely right.
I would just like to add that one exception is the recent dequantization framework by Gharibian and Le Gall (STOC 2022), for which I give a robust dequantization in Section 6.3. This framework does work for sparse matrices. It dequantizes the Quantum Singular Value Tran
Dequantization requires low-rank matrices. That's why the canonical example is inner-product estimation, i.e. rank-1 matrices. The BQP-completeness results require high-rank matrices.
Great work!
I have a question about the case of sparse matrices:
Isn't this the case that the original HHL algorithm considers?
You cite a reference that says this is BQP-hard, so how is it possible that this can be dequantized?
What am I missing?
...(continued)Looks super interesting! It seems to me that this paper makes progress on the question that we raised here:

So we agree there are some problems that scale as $O(2^n)$ on a classical computer and $O(2^{n/2})$ on a quantum computer but that the ratio of constant factors between the quantum and classical scaling might be high enough that $n$ would need to so large that the point of crossover in
...(continued)@quantumfugazi, your argument appears self-consistent. However, my understanding of this paper is that the problem statement (Section II) is *not* intended to be bounded by any $N_{\mathrm{max}}$, nor to incorporate the effects of relativity. To put it more bluntly, I assert that this is *not* act
...(continued)I mentioned the physics problem first because, theoretically, one does not have to shrink the mass-spring setup (i.e. the Spring computer) at all. So in that case, if the physics problem is within the Newtonian limit, the mass-spring setup will also operate in the Newtonian limit.
Now when it co

Your question is an interesting one as Alex Meiburg's answer showed. His answer is more insightful than what I would have said about the optimal number of iterations, so I'll refer to his answer.From our point of view in the paper, we were just consdering two cases. One is the case wh

One of our main points is that for any Grover-type problem too hard to solve classically, if such a problem eventually gets solved with a quantum algorithm, the algorithm used to solve it will not be Grover
...(continued)@quantumfugazi: The effects of relativity are relevant not to the *problem*, but to the practical question of how rapidly a given computer can solve that problem. The problem that we're trying to solve is a well-defined math problem, and it does indeed describe a Newtonian (not relativistic) physi
...(continued)@Robin, Thank you for your kind comment. I will read Scott's paper and look at the quantum gate details. However, since the goal is to solve Newton's equation, the assumption of the physics problem size ($N=2^n$, also $x$, $\dot{x}$, $a$) is not in the limit that requires Einstein's relativities.
...(continued)@Ryan Thanks for the comment. In my first argument, I am focusing my analysis on time complexity, in which I also talk about speedup in terms of $n$ (like Grover's quadratic speedup).
I only wrote about "resource" (or space complexity) in my second argument after Aram pointed out that the initial

$O(T)$ for Spring (and Analog) vs $O(nTd)$ for Quantum vs $O(\text{exp}(n))$) for Classical.
I mentioned the couplers since Aram kindly reminded us that the initial set

Like Will Kirby, I initially interpreted your comment as a troll, but I really appreciate that your followup comments indicate sincere engagement in a good faith effort to determine the truth. I'll respond in kind.
...(continued)@quantumfugazi, I have trouble following some aspects of your argument but let me just clarify the following. Our algorithm can simulate $2^n$ classical oscillators using a total number of quantum hardware elements, operations and resources (e.g., qubits, space, energy, time, gates, hardware coupler

Sure, you number of possible couplers of *arbitrary size* between qubits in some register will scale exponentially, but it is far too pessimistic to assume we will need to utilize anywhere close to all of these choices.

Now let me take on the space complexity, which is not even important. Yes, I need $2^n$ springs. And yes, the quantum algorithm initiaites (at $t=0$) with $n$ qubits. However, we should also count couplers (similar to springs) later on, and gates (which are made of couplers). If t
