abstract

We study the complexity of Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI), a quantum algorithm for approximate optimization. First, we show that the algorithm resists classical simulation strategies based on locating outputs with large probabilities. We then prove that DQI can be simulated at a low level of the polynomial hierarchy, posing challenges to standard quantum supremacy arguments. We further show that DQI is a constructive solution to a classical coding-theoretic bound based on the MacWilliams identity. Lastly, we interpret DQI as preparing low-energy states of a quantum simple harmonic oscillator, a viewpoint we believe suggests a physics-motivated route to generalizing DQI.

Multivariate Decoded Quantum Interferometry for Weighted Optimization

quant-ph · 2026-05-11 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Multivariate DQI uses N-variable polynomials for weighted Max-LINSAT, derives closed-form asymptotics for expectation and concentration, provides a single-decoder preparation circuit, and shows outperformance over weighted Prange for some OPI cases while extending to Hamiltonian DQI.

Mind the gaps: The fraught road to quantum advantage

quant-ph · 2025-10-22 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0 · 2 refs

The paper identifies four key hurdles in the transition from NISQ to FASQ quantum computers and argues that targeting them will accelerate progress toward useful quantum advantage.
