Quantum Query Complexity of Subgraph Containment with Constant-sized Certificates
read the original abstract
We study the quantum query complexity of constant-sized subgraph containment. Such problems include determining whether an $ n $-vertex graph contains a triangle, clique or star of some size. For a general subgraph $ H $ with $ k $ vertices, we show that $ H $ containment can be solved with quantum query complexity $ O(n^{2-\frac{2}{k}-g(H)}) $, with $ g(H) $ a strictly positive function of $ H $. This is better than $ \tilde{O}\s{n^{2-2/k}} $ by Magniez et al. These results are obtained in the learning graph model of Belovs.

Quantum algorithms for path and cycle containment problems
A dichotomy for path-containment problems shows some are solvable with linear queries while others are equivalent to cycle problems and admit a quantum-walk algorithm with query complexity Õ(n^{3/2 - α_k}) where α_k d...

Lower overhead fault-tolerant building blocks for noisy quantum computers
New combinatorial proofs and circuit designs for quantum error correction reduce physical qubit overhead by up to 10x and time overhead by 2-6x for codes including Steane, Golay, and surface codes.
