Deciding circuit width w(f) ≤ k for degree-3 polynomials with no constant term is NP-complete, with 49/48-ε inapproximability, ETH lower bounds, and FPT algorithms.
Depolarizing noise cuts one-dimensional shallow quantum circuits into independent logarithmic pieces, enabling a parallel sampler with doubly-logarithmic runtime and an AC^0 simulation that rules out any superconstant classical depth advantage on a line.
Sparse qubit connectivity inflates compiled circuit depth, pushing noisy IQP sampling implementations closer to the classically simulatable regime, whereas all-to-all architectures preserve a positive simulatability margin at current error rates.
A quantum algorithm simulates unital dephasing dynamics by sampling stochastic unitaries and decouples coupled fermion-boson dephasing into an IQP circuit that controls the fermion evolution.
QAIS uses a parameterized quantum circuit to allocate Monte Carlo samples along a learned non-separable density and achieves VEGAS-competitive or better accuracy on correlated integrands in simulation.
