abstract

Classical fingerprinting associates with each string a shorter string (its fingerprint), such that, with high probability, any two distinct strings can be distinguished by comparing their fingerprints alone. The fingerprints can be exponentially smaller than the original strings if the parties preparing the fingerprints share a random key, but not if they only have access to uncorrelated random sources. In this paper we show that fingerprints consisting of quantum information can be made exponentially smaller than the original strings without any correlations or entanglement between the parties: we give a scheme where the quantum fingerprints are exponentially shorter than the original strings and we give a test that distinguishes any two unknown quantum fingerprints with high probability. Our scheme implies an exponential quantum/classical gap for the equality problem in the simultaneous message passing model of communication complexity. We optimize several aspects of our scheme.

Quantum Time Lower Bounds by Permutation Invariance

quant-ph · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

A reduction framework from sample complexity yields matching time lower bounds for purity estimation, high-order functionals, productness testing, and related quantum protocols.

The power of unentanglement without destructive interference

quant-ph · 2026-04-30 · accept · novelty 8.0

StoqMA(2) contains NP via Õ(√n)-qubit unentangled stoquastic proofs (nearly perfect completeness) and is contained in EXP, with ETH-optimal parameters matching a refined BKS Sum-of-Squares bound.

Quantum Randomized Subspace Iteration

quant-ph · 2026-04-10 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

QRSI spans degenerate quantum eigenspaces almost surely by conjugating the Hamiltonian with random unitaries on g parallel branches and using subspace estimation, while exactly preserving the spectral gap.

GHZ is All You Need: Quantum Sensing with VISTA

quant-ph · 2026-05-05 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

VISTA achieves near-Heisenberg scaling in moderately noisy quantum magnetometry by passively evolving a probe, comparing it via swap test to a physics-informed quantum twin circuit, and optimizing only physical parameters with quasi-normalization.

Probabilistic Condition, Decision and Path Coverage of Circuit-based Quantum Programs

quant-ph · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quantum circuits show high average condition (97.56%) and decision (97.63%) coverage but lower path coverage (71.84%), with probabilistic versions adding confidence levels (averages 88.87%, 88.65%, 37.18%); mutation testing reveals weak or no correlation between structural coverage and fault finding

Are controlled unitaries helpful?

quant-ph · 2025-07-31 · accept · novelty 6.0

Controlled unitaries can be decontrolled into standard unitaries with random phase, showing they do not help beyond global phase information for a large class of quantum problems.
