The Learnability of Quantum States
Traditional quantum state tomography requires a number of measurements that grows exponentially with the number of qubits n. But using ideas from computational learning theory, we...

On the Deduction Theorem and Complete Disjoint NP-Pairs
In this paper we ask the question whether the extended Frege proof system EF satisfies a weak version of the deduction theorem. We prove that if this is the case, then complete dis...

Faster algorithms for finding lowest common ancestors in directed acyclic graphs
We present two new methods for finding a lowest common ancestor (LCA) for each pair of vertices of a directed acyclic graph (dag) on n vertices and m edges. The first method is su...

Uniform Hardness Amplification in NP via Monotone Codes
We consider the problem of amplifying uniform average-case hardness of languages in NP, where hardness is with respect to BPP algorithms. We introduce the notion of monotone error...

On the Subgroup Distance Problem
We investigate the computational complexity of finding an element of a permutation group H Sn with a minimal distance to a given Sn, for different metrics on Sn. We assume that...

How to rank with few errors: A PTAS for Weighted Feedback Arc Set on Tournaments
Suppose you ran a chess tournament, everybody played everybody, and you wanted to use the results to rank everybody. Unless you were really lucky, the results would not be acyclic...
