Testing Spreading Behavior in Networks with Arbitrary Topologies

Authors: Augusto Modanese and Yuichi Yoshida

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)

Abstract
Given the full topology of a network, how hard is it to test if it is evolving according to a local rule or is far from doing so? Inspired by the works of Goldreich and Ron (J. ACM, 2017) and Nakar and Ron (ICALP, 2021), we initiate the study of property testing in dynamic environments with arbitrary topologies. Our focus is on the simplest non-trivial rule that can be tested, which corresponds to the 1-BP rule of bootstrap percolation and models a simple spreading behavior: Every "infected" node stays infected forever, and each "healthy" node becomes infected if and only if it has at least one infected neighbor. Our results are subdivided into two main groups: - If we are testing a single time step of evolution, then the query complexity is O(Δ/ε) or Õ(√n/ε) (whichever is smaller), where Δ and n are the maximum degree of a node and the number of vertices in the underlying graph, respectively. We also give lower bounds for both one- and two-sided error testers that match our upper bounds up to Δ = o(√n) and Δ = O(n^{1/3}), respectively. If ε is constant, then the first of these also holds against adaptive testers. - When testing the environment over T time steps, we have two algorithms that need O(Δ^{T-1}/εT) and Õ(|E|/εT) queries, respectively, where E is the set of edges of the underlying graph. All of our algorithms are one-sided error, and all of them are also non-adaptive, with the single exception of the more complex Õ(√n/ε)-query tester for the case T = 2.

On the Complexity of Two Dimensional Commuting Local Hamiltonians

Authors: Dorit Aharonov, Oded Kenneth, and Itamar Vigdorovich

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 111, 13th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography (TQC 2018)

Abstract
The complexity of the commuting local Hamiltonians (CLH) problem still remains a mystery after two decades of research of quantum Hamiltonian complexity; it is only known to be contained in NP for few low parameters. Of particular interest is the tightly related question of understanding whether groundstates of CLHs can be generated by efficient quantum circuits. The two problems touch upon conceptual, physical and computational questions, including the centrality of non-commutation in quantum mechanics, quantum PCP and the area law. It is natural to try to address first the more physical case of CLHs embedded on a 2D lattice, but this problem too remained open apart from some very specific cases [Aharonov and Eldar, 2011; Hastings, 2012; Schuch, 2011]. Here we consider a wide class of two dimensional CLH instances; these are k-local CLHs, for any constant k; they are defined on qubits set on the edges of any surface complex, where we require that this surface complex is not too far from being "Euclidean". Each vertex and each face can be associated with an arbitrary term (as long as the terms commute). We show that this class is in NP, and moreover that the groundstates have an efficient quantum circuit that prepares them. This result subsumes that of Schuch [Schuch, 2011] which regarded the special case of 4-local Hamiltonians on a grid with qubits, and by that it removes the mysterious feature of Schuch's proof which showed containment in NP without providing a quantum circuit for the groundstate and considerably generalizes it. We believe this work and the tools we develop make a significant step towards showing that 2D CLHs are in NP.
