Algebraic and combinatorial aspects of incidence groups and linear system non-local games arising from graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-06)To every linear binary-constraint system (LinBCS) non-local game, there is an associated algebraic object called the solution group. Cleve, Liu, and Slofstra showed that a LinBCS game has a perfect quantum strategy if and ... -
Assessing the Trainability of the Variational Quantum State Diagonalization Algorithm at Scale
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-28)Quantum algorithm development is a famously difficult problem. The lack of intuition concerning the quantum realm makes constructing quantum algorithms which solve partic- ular problems of interest difficult. In addition, ... -
Near-optimal quantum strategies for nonlocal games, approximate representations, and BCS algebras
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-04)Quantum correlations can be viewed as particular abstract states on the tensor product of operator systems which model quantum measurement scenarios. In the paradigm of nonlocal games, this perspective illustrates a ... -
Real equiangular lines and related codes
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)We consider real equiangular lines and related codes. The driving question is to find the maximum number of equiangular lines in a given dimension. In the real case, this is controlled by combinatorial phenomena, and until ...
