We explore the space just above BQP by defining a complexity class PDQP (Product Dynamical Quantum Polynomial time) which is larger than BQP but does not contain NP relative to an oracle. The class is defined by imagining that quantum computers can perform measurements that do not collapse the wavefunction. This (non-physical) model of computation can efficiently solve problems such as Graph Isomorphism and Approximate Shortest Vector which are believed to be intractable for quantum computers. Furthermore, it can search an unstructured N-element list in $tilde O$(N^{1/3}) time, but no faster than {Omega}(N^{1/4}), and hence cannot solve NP-hard problems in a black box manner. In short, this model of computation is more powerful than standard quantum computation, but only slightly so. Our work is inspired by previous work of Aaronson on the power of sampling the histories of hidden variables. However Aaronsons work contains an error in its proof of the lower bound for search, and hence it is unclear whether or not his model allows for search in logarithmic time. Our work can be viewed as a conceptual simplification of Aaronsons approach, with a provable polynomial lower bound for search.

Recent work has shown that quantum computers can compute scattering probabilities in massive quantum field theories, with a run time that is polynomial in the number of particles, their energy, and the desired precision. Here we study a closely relat
ed quantum field-theoretical problem: estimating the vacuum-to-vacuum transition amplitude, in the presence of spacetime-dependent classical sources, for a massive scalar field theory in (1+1) dimensions. We show that this problem is BQP-hard; in other words, its solution enables one to solve any problem that is solvable in polynomial time by a quantum computer. Hence, the vacuum-to-vacuum amplitude cannot be accurately estimated by any efficient classical algorithm, even if the field theory is very weakly coupled, unless BQP=BPP. Furthermore, the corresponding decision problem can be solved by a quantum computer in a time scaling polynomially with the number of bits needed to specify the classical source fields, and this problem is therefore BQP-complete. Our construction can be regarded as an idealized architecture for a universal quantum computer in a laboratory system described by massive phi^4 theory coupled to classical spacetime-dependent sources.
In function inversion, we are given a function $f: [N] mapsto [N]$, and want to prepare some advice of size $S$, such that we can efficiently invert any image in time $T$. This is a well studied problem with profound connections to cryptography, data
structures, communication complexity, and circuit lower bounds. Investigation of this problem in the quantum setting was initiated by Nayebi, Aaronson, Belovs, and Trevisan (2015), who proved a lower bound of $ST^2 = tildeOmega(N)$ for random permutations against classical advice, leaving open an intriguing possibility that Grovers search can be sped up to time $tilde O(sqrt{N/S})$. Recent works by Hhan, Xagawa, and Yamakawa (2019), and Chung, Liao, and Qian (2019) extended the argument for random functions and quantum advice, but the lower bound remains $ST^2 = tildeOmega(N)$. In this work, we prove that even with quantum advice, $ST + T^2 = tildeOmega(N)$ is required for an algorithm to invert random functions. This demonstrates that Grovers search is optimal for $S = tilde O(sqrt{N})$, ruling out any substantial speed-up for Grovers search even with quantum advice. Further improvements to our bounds would imply new classical circuit lower bounds, as shown by Corrigan-Gibbs and Kogan (2019). To prove this result, we develop a general framework for establishing quantum time-space lower bounds. We further demonstrate the power of our framework by proving quantum time-space lower bounds for Yaos box problem and salted cryptography.
Due to the decoherence of the state-of-the-art physical implementations of quantum computers, it is essential to parallelize the quantum circuits to reduce their depth. Two decades ago, Moore et al. demonstrated that additional qubits (or ancillae) c
ould be used to design shallow parallel circuits for quantum operators. They proved that any $n$-qubit CNOT circuit could be parallelized to $O(log n)$ depth, with $O(n^2)$ ancillae. However, the near-term quantum technologies can only support limited amount of qubits, making space-depth trade-off a fundamental research subject for quantum-circuit synthesis. In this work, we establish an asymptotically optimal space-depth trade-off for the design of CNOT circuits. We prove that for any $mgeq0$, any $n$-qubit CNOT circuit can be parallelized to $Oleft(max left{log n, frac{n^{2}}{(n+m)log (n+m)}right} right)$ depth, with $O(m)$ ancillae. We show that this bound is tight by a counting argument, and further show that even with arbitrary two-qubit quantum gates to approximate CNOT circuits, the depth lower bound still meets our construction, illustrating the robustness of our result. Our work improves upon two previous results, one by Moore et al. for $O(log n)$-depth quantum synthesis, and one by Patel et al. for $m = 0$: for the former, we reduce the need of ancillae by a factor of $log^2 n$ by showing that $m=O(n^2/log^2 n)$ additional qubits suffice to build $O(log n)$-depth, $O(n^2/log n)$ size --- which is asymptotically optimal --- CNOT circuits; for the later, we reduce the depth by a factor of $n$ to the asymptotically optimal bound $O(n/log n)$. Our results can be directly extended to stabilizer circuits using an earlier result by Aaronson et al. In addition, we provide relevant hardness evidences for synthesis optimization of CNOT circuits in term of both size and depth.
A strong direct product theorem says that if we want to compute k independent instances of a function, using less than k times the resources needed for one instance, then our overall success probability will be exponentially small in k. We establish
such theorems for the classical as well as quantum query complexity of the OR function. This implies slightly weaker direct product results for all total functions. We prove a similar result for quantum communication protocols computing k instances of the Disjointness function. Our direct product theorems imply a time-space tradeoff T^2*S=Omega(N^3) for sorting N items on a quantum computer, which is optimal up to polylog factors. They also give several tight time-space and communication-space tradeoffs for the problems of Boolean matrix-vector multiplication and matrix multiplication.
We give a new version of the adversary method for proving lower bounds on quantum query algorithms. The new method is based on analyzing the eigenspace structure of the problem at hand. We use it to prove a new and optimal strong direct product theor
em for 2-sided error quantum algorithms computing k independent instances of a symmetric Boolean function: if the algorithm uses significantly less than k times the number of queries needed for one instance of the function, then its success probability is exponentially small in k. We also use the polynomial method to prove a direct product theorem for 1-sided error algorithms for k threshold functions with a stronger bound on the success probability. Finally, we present a quantum algorithm for evaluating solutions to systems of linear inequalities, and use our direct product theorems to show that the time-space tradeoff of this algorithm is close to optimal.
