Abstract

Difference sets are basic combinatorial structures that have applications in signal processing, coding theory, and cryptography. We consider the problem of identifying a shifted version of the characteristic function of a (known) difference set and present a general algorithm that can be used to tackle any hidden shift problem for any difference set in any abelian group. We discuss special cases of this framework which include a) Paley difference sets based on quadratic residues in finite fields which allow to recover the shifted Legendre function quantum algorithm, b) Hadamard difference sets which allow to recover the shifted bent function quantum algorithm, and c) Singer difference sets which allow us to define instances of the dihedral hidden subgroup problem which can be efficiently solved on a quantum computer.
