arXiv:2608. 24527v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We prove the first quantum-classical separation for a sampling problem over a continuous domain.
arXiv:2608.24527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We prove the first quantum--classical separation for a sampling problem over a continuous domain. For a class of Gibbs states $p\propto e^{-\beta E}$...
arXiv:2609.06906v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a new low-accuracy sampler, called \emph{smoothed Picard Hamiltonian Monte Carlo}, which combines Gaussian smoothing, Picard iteration, an...
arXiv:2607. 25492v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study stochastic optimization with heavy-tailed gradient noise.
arXiv:2609.38073v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study exact learning with membership queries for concept classes $\mathcal C\subseteq\{0,1\}^N$, focusing on the relationships among their determi...
arXiv:2609.06307v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study variational quantum distribution learning through a hierarchy of Walsh--Fourier approximations on the Boolean cube. At each level, a selecte...
arXiv:2509. 03734v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the hypothesis selection problem, we are given sample and query access to finite set of candidate distributions (hypotheses), $\mathcal{H} = \{H_1, \ldots, H_n\}$, and samples from an unknown distribution $P$, both over a domain $\mathcal{X}$.
arXiv:2609.05718v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study state tomography when each measurement acts on at most $k$ fresh copies and no quantum memory is retained between blocks. We prove a lower b...
arXiv:2609. 22783v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study differentially private covariance estimation in operator norm for mean-zero sub-Gaussian distributions with unknown covariance support and at most $k$ nonzero entries per row.
arXiv:2609.06905v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of sampling from $\mu(\mathrm{d}x)\propto e^{-V(x)}\,\mathrm{d}x$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $V$ is $\alpha$-strongly convex and $...
arXiv:2607. 12902v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We show the Randomized Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm has accelerated mixing time guarantees for sampling from log-concave probability distributions.
arXiv:2609.15268v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We revisit Valiant's algorithm (Commun. ACM'84) for learning $n$-variable CNF formulas with clause size $k$ and variable degree $d$ from i.i.d. uniform...
arXiv:2608. 03962v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern large language models - transformers and diffusion language models - are built around two canonical algorithmic tasks: prediction and generation.
