Verification of Group Non-membership by Shallow Quantum Circuits
英文摘要:
Decision problems are the problems whose answer is either YES or NO. As the quantum analogue of $\mathsf{NP}$ (nondeterministic polynomial time), the class $\mathsf{QMA}$ (quantum Merlin-Arthur) contains the decision problems whose YES instance can be verified efficiently with a quantum computer. The problem of deciding the group non-membership (GNM) of a group element is known to be in $\mathsf{QMA}$. Previous works on the verification of GNM required a quantum circuit with $O(n^5)$ group oracle calls. Here we propose an efficient way to verify GNM problems, reducing the circuit depth to $O(1)$ and the number of qubits by half. We further experimentally demonstrate the scheme, in which two-element subgroups in a four-element group are employed for the verification task. A significant completeness-soundness gap is observed in the experiment.
