Three new graph invariants are introduced which may be measured from a quantum graph state and form examples of a framework under which other graph invariants can be constructed. Each invariant is based on distinguishing a different number of qubits. This is done by applying alternate measurements to the qubits to be distinguished. The performance of these invariants is evaluated and compared to classical invariants. We verify that the invariants can distinguish all non-isomorphic graphs with 9 or fewer nodes. The invariants have also been applied to `classically hard strongly regular graphs, successfully distinguishing all strongly regular graphs of up to 29 nodes, and preliminarily to weighted graphs. We have found that although it is possible to prepare states with a polynomial number of operations, the average number of preparations required to distinguish non-isomorphic graph states scales exponentially with the number of nodes. We have so far been unable to find operators which reliably compare graphs and reduce the required number of preparations to feasible levels.

In the Graph Isomorphism problem two N-vertex graphs G and G are given and the task is to determine whether there exists a permutation of the vertices of G that preserves adjacency and transforms G into G. If yes, then G and G are said to be isomorph ic; otherwise they are non-isomorphic. The GI problem is an important problem in computer science and is thought to be of comparable difficulty to integer factorization. In this paper we present a quantum algorithm that solves arbitrary instances of GI and can also determine all automorphisms of a given graph. We show how the GI problem can be converted to a combinatorial optimization problem that can be solved using adiabatic quantum evolution. We numerically simulate the algorithms quantum dynamics and show that it correctly: (i) distinguishes non-isomorphic graphs; (ii) recognizes isomorphic graphs; and (iii) finds all automorphisms of a given graph G. We then discuss the GI quantum algorithms experimental implementation, and close by showing how it can be leveraged to give a quantum algorithm that solves arbitrary instances of the NP-Complete Sub-Graph Isomorphism problem.
It has been known for some time that graph isomorphism reduces to the hidden subgroup problem (HSP). What is more, most exponential speedups in quantum computation are obtained by solving instances of the HSP. A common feature of the resulting algori thms is the use of quantum coset states, which encode the hidden subgroup. An open question has been how hard it is to use these states to solve graph isomorphism. It was recently shown by Moore, Russell, and Schulman that only an exponentially small amount of information is available from one, or a pair of coset states. A potential source of power to exploit are entangled quantum measurements that act jointly on many states at once. We show that entangled quantum measurements on at least Omega(n log n) coset states are necessary to get useful information for the case of graph isomorphism, matching an information theoretic upper bound. This may be viewed as a negative result because highly entangled measurements seem hard to implement in general. Our main theorem is very general and also rules out using joint measurements on few coset states for some other groups, such as GL(n, F_{p^m}) and G^n where G is finite and satisfies a suitable property.
Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ on $n$ vertices each, we define a graph $G$ on vertex set $V_1times V_2$ and the edge set as the union of edges of $G_1times bar{G_2}$, $bar{G_1}times G_2$, ${(v,u),(v,u))(|u,uin V_2}$ for each $vin V_1$, and ${((u,v) ,(u,v))|u,uin V_1}$ for each $vin V_2$. We consider the completely-positive Lovasz $vartheta$ function, i.e., $cpvartheta$ function for $G$. We show that the function evaluates to $n$ whenever $G_1$ and $G_2$ are isomorphic and to less than $n-1/(4n^4)$ when non-isomorphic. Hence this function provides a test for graph isomorphism. We also provide some geometric insight into the feasible region of the completely positive program.
Computational advantages gained by quantum algorithms rely largely on the coherence of quantum devices and are generally compromised by decoherence. As an exception, we present a quantum algorithm for graph isomorphism testing whose performance is op timal when operating in the partially coherent regime, as opposed to the extremes of fully coherent or classical regimes. The algorithm builds on continuous-time quantum stochastic walks (QSWs) on graphs and the algorithmic performance is quantified by the distinguishing power (DIP) between non-isomorphic graphs. The QSW explores the entire graph and acquires information about the underlying structure, which is extracted by monitoring stochastic jumps across an auxiliary edge. The resulting counting statistics of stochastic jumps is used to identify the spectrum of the dynamical generator of the QSW, serving as a novel graph invariant, based on which non-isomorphic graphs are distinguished. We provide specific examples of non-isomorphic graphs that are only distinguishable by QSWs in the presence of decoherence.
If a morphism of germs of schemes induces isomorphisms of all local jet schemes, does it follow that the morphism is an isomorphism? This problem is called the local isomorphism problem. In this paper, we use jet schemes to introduce various closure operations among ideals and relate them to the local isomorphism problem. This approach leads to a partial solution of the local isomorphism problem, which is shown to have a negative answer in general and a positive one in several situations of geometric interest.
