On the Complexity of Unique Quantum Witnesses and Quantum Approximate Counting

Authors: Anurag Anshu, Jonas Haferkamp, Yeongwoo Hwang, and Quynh T. Nguyen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)


Abstract
We study the long-standing open question on the power of unique witnesses in quantum protocols, which asks if UniqueQMA, a variant of QMA whose accepting witness space is 1-dimensional, contains QMA under quantum reductions. This work rules out any black-box reduction from QMA to UniqueQMA by showing a quantum oracle separation between BQP^UniqueQMA and QMA. This provides a contrast to the classical case, where the Valiant-Vazirani theorem shows a black-box randomized reduction from UniqueNP to NP, and suggests the need for studying the structure of the ground space of local Hamiltonians in distilling a potential unique witness. Via similar techniques, we show, relative to a quantum oracle, that QMA^QMA cannot decide quantum approximate counting, ruling out a quantum analogue of Stockmeyer’s algorithm in the black-box setting. Our results employ a subspace reflection oracle, previously considered in [Scott Aaronson and Greg Kuperberg, 2007; Scott Aaronson et al., 2020; She and Yuen, 2023], but we introduce new tools which allow us to exploit the unique witness constraint. We also show a strong "polarization" behavior of QMA circuits, which could be of independent interest in studying quantum polynomial hierarchies. We then ask a natural question; what structural properties of the local Hamiltonian problem can we exploit? We introduce a physically motivated candidate by showing that the ground energy of local Hamiltonians that satisfy a computational variant of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) can be estimated through a UniqueQMA protocol. Our protocol can be viewed as a quantum expander test in a low energy subspace of the Hamiltonian and verifies a unique entangled state across two copies of the subspace. This allows us to conclude that if UniqueQMA is not equivalent to QMA, then QMA-hard Hamiltonians must violate ETH under adversarial perturbations (more accurately, further assuming the quantum PCP conjecture if ETH only applies to extensive energy subspaces). Under the same assumption, this also serves as evidence that chaotic local Hamiltonians, such as the SYK model may be computationally simpler than general local Hamiltonians.

Visualizing Treewidth

Authors: Alvin Chiu, Thomas Depian, David Eppstein, Michael T. Goodrich, and Martin Nöllenburg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
A witness drawing of a graph is a visualization that clearly shows a given property of a graph. We study and implement various drawing paradigms for witness drawings to clearly show that graphs have bounded pathwidth or treewidth. Our approach draws the tree decomposition or path decomposition as a tree of bags, with induced subgraphs shown in each bag, and with "tracks" for each graph vertex connecting its copies in multiple bags. Within bags, we optimize the vertex layout to avoid crossings of edges and tracks. We implement a visualization prototype for crossing minimization using dynamic programming for graphs of small width and heuristic approaches for graphs of larger width. We introduce a taxonomy of drawing styles, which render the subgraph for each bag as an arc diagram with one or two pages or as a circular layout with straight-line edges, and we render tracks either with straight lines or with orbital-radial paths.

Directed Temporal Tree Realization for Periodic Public Transport: Easy and Hard Cases

Authors: Julia Meusel, Matthias Müller-Hannemann, and Klaus Reinhardt

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 137, 25th Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2025)


Abstract
We study the complexity of the directed periodic temporal graph realization problem. This work is motivated by the design of periodic schedules in public transport with constraints on the quality of service. Namely, we require that the fastest path between (important) pairs of vertices is upper bounded by a specified maximum duration, encoded in an upper distance matrix D. While previous work has considered the undirected version of the problem, the application in public transport schedule design requires the flexibility to assign different departure times to the two directions of an edge. A problem instance can only be feasible if all values of the distance matrix are at least shortest path distances. However, the task of realizing exact fastest path distances in a periodic temporal graph is often too restrictive. Therefore, we introduce a minimum slack parameter k that describes a lower bound on the maximum allowed waiting time on each path. We concentrate on tree topologies and provide a full characterization of the complexity landscape with respect to the period Δ and the minimum slack parameter k, showing a sharp threshold between NP-complete cases and cases which are always realizable. We also provide hardness results for the special case of period Δ = 2 for general directed and undirected graphs.

Resilience in Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Authors: Arnab Sharma, N'Dah Jean Kouagou, and Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 2 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 2


Abstract
In recent years, knowledge graphs have gained interest and witnessed widespread applications in various domains, such as information retrieval, question-answering, recommendation systems, amongst others. Large-scale knowledge graphs to this end have demonstrated their utility in effectively representing structured knowledge. To further facilitate the application of machine learning techniques, knowledge graph embedding models have been developed. Such models can transform entities and relationships within knowledge graphs into vectors. However, these embedding models often face challenges related to noise, missing information, distribution shift, adversarial attacks, etc. This can lead to sub-optimal embeddings and incorrect inferences, thereby negatively impacting downstream applications. While the existing literature has focused so far on adversarial attacks on KGE models, the challenges related to the other critical aspects remain unexplored. In this paper, we, first of all, give a unified definition of resilience, encompassing several factors such as generalisation, in-distribution generalization, distribution adaption, and robustness. After formalizing these concepts for machine learning in general, we define them in the context of knowledge graphs. To find the gap in the existing works on resilience in the context of knowledge graphs, we perform a systematic survey, taking into account all these aspects mentioned previously. Our survey results show that most of the existing works focus on a specific aspect of resilience, namely robustness. After categorizing such works based on their respective aspects of resilience, we discuss the challenges and future research directions.

Uniformity Testing When You Have the Source Code

Authors: Clément L. Canonne, Robin Kothari, and Ryan O'Donnell

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 350, 20th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography (TQC 2025)


Abstract
We study quantum algorithms for verifying properties of the output probability distribution of a classical or quantum circuit, given access to the source code that generates the distribution. We consider the basic task of uniformity testing, which is to decide if the output distribution is uniform on [d] or ε-far from uniform in total variation distance. More generally, we consider identity testing, which is the task of deciding if the output distribution equals a known hypothesis distribution, or is ε-far from it. For both problems, the previous best known upper bound was O(min{d^{1/3}/ε²,d^{1/2}/ε}). Here we improve the upper bound to O(min{d^{1/3}/ε^{4/3}, d^{1/2}/ε}), which we conjecture is optimal.

A DSL for Swarm Intelligence Algorithms

Authors: Kevin Martins and Rui Mendes

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 135, 14th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2025)


Abstract
We propose a domain-specific language to simplify the expression of Swarm Intelligence algorithms. These algorithms are typically introduced through metaphors, requiring practitioners to manually translate them into low-level implementations.This process can obscure intent and hinder reproducibility. The proposed DSL bridges this gap by capturing algorithmic behavior at a higher level of abstraction. We demonstrate its expressiveness in a few lines of code and evaluate its feasibility through a reference implementation. A discussion is presented that includes empirical comparisons with traditional implementations and future directions of the proposed DSL.

SP-IMPact: A Framework for Static Partitioning Interference Mitigation and Performance Analysis

Authors: Diogo Costa, Gonçalo Moreira, Afonso Oliveira, José Martins, and Sandro Pinto

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 128, Sixth Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2025)


Abstract
Modern embedded systems are evolving toward complex, heterogeneous architectures to accommodate increasingly demanding applications. Driven by industry SWAP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) constraints, this shift has led to the consolidation of multiple systems onto single hardware platforms. Static Partitioning Hypervisors (SPHs) offer a promising solution to partition hardware resources and provide spatial isolation between critical workloads. However, shared hardware resources like the Last-Level Cache (LLC) and system bus can introduce significant temporal interference between virtual machines (VMs), negatively impacting performance and predictability. Over the past decade, academia and industry have focused on developing interference mitigation techniques, such as cache partitioning and memory bandwidth reservation. Configuring these techniques, however, is complex and time-consuming. Cache partitioning requires careful balancing of cache sections across VMs, while memory bandwidth reservation requires tuning bandwidth budgets and periods. With numerous possible configurations, testing all combinations is impractical and often leads to suboptimal configurations. Moreover, there is a gap in understanding how these techniques interact, as their combined use can result in compounded or conflicting effects on system performance. Static analysis solutions that estimate worst-case execution times (WCET) and upper bounds on execution times provide some guidance for configuring interference mitigation techniques. While useful in identifying potential interference effects, these tools often fail to capture the full complexity of modern multi-core systems, as they typically focus on a limited set of shared resources and neglect other sources of contention, such as IOMMUs and interrupt controllers. To address these challenges, we introduce SP-IMPact, an open-source framework designed to analyze and guide the configuration of interference mitigation techniques, through the deployment of diverse VM configurations and setups, and assessment of hardware-level contention (leveraging SPHs). It supports two mitigation techniques: (i) cache coloring and (ii) memory bandwidth reservation, while also evaluating the interactions between these techniques and their cumulative impact on system performance. By providing insights on real hardware platforms, SP-IMPact helps to optimize the configuration of these techniques in mixed-criticality systems, ensuring both performance and predictability.

Introduction
Introduction to the Special Issue on Embedded Systems for Computer Vision

Authors: Samarjit Chakraborty and Qing Rao

Published in: LITES, Volume 8, Issue 1 (2022): Special Issue on Embedded Systems for Computer Vision. Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1


Abstract
We provide a broad overview of some of the current research directions at the intersection of embedded systems and computer vision, in addition to introducing the papers appearing in this special issue. Work at this intersection is steadily growing in importance, especially in the context of autonomous and cyber-physical systems design. Vision-based perception is almost a mandatory component in any autonomous system, but also adds myriad challenges like, how to efficiently implement vision processing algorithms on resource-constrained embedded architectures, and how to verify the functional and timing correctness of these algorithms. Computer vision is also crucial in implementing various smart functionality like security, e.g., using facial recognition, or monitoring events or traffic patterns. Some of these applications are reviewed in this introductory article. The remaining articles featured in this special issue dive into more depth on a few of them.

A Survey on Static Cache Analysis for Real-Time Systems

Authors: Mingsong Lv, Nan Guan, Jan Reineke, Reinhard Wilhelm, and Wang Yi

Published in: LITES, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2016). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 3, Issue 1


Abstract
Real-time systems are reactive computer systems that must produce their reaction to a stimulus within given time bounds. A vital verification requirement is to estimate the Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) of programs. These estimates are then used to predict the timing behavior of the overall system. The execution time of a program heavily depends on the underlying hardware, among which cache has the biggest influence. Analyzing cache behavior is very challenging due to the versatile cache features and complex execution environment. This article provides a survey on static cache analysis for real-time systems. We first present the challenges and static analysis techniques for independent programs with respect to different cache features. Then, the discussion is extended to cache analysis in complex execution environment, followed by a survey of existing tools based on static techniques for cache analysis. An outlook for future research is provided at last.

WCET Analysis of a Parallel 3D Multigrid Solver Executed on the MERASA Multi-Core

Authors: Christine Rochange, Armelle Bonenfant, Pascal Sainrat, Mike Gerdes, Julian Wolf, Theo Ungerer, Zlatko Petrov, and Frantisek Mikulu

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 15, 10th International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis (WCET 2010)


Abstract
To meet performance requirements as well as constraints on cost and power consumption, future embedded systems will be designed with multi-core processors. However, the question of timing analysability is raised with these architectures. In the MERASA project, a WCET-aware multi-core processor has been designed with the appropriate system software. They both guarantee that the WCET of tasks running on different cores can be safely analyzed since their possible interactions can be bounded. Nevertheless, computing the WCET of a parallel application is still not straightforward and a high-level preliminary analysis of the communication and synchronization patterns must be performed. In this paper, we report on our experience in evaluating the WCET of a parallel 3D multigrid solver code and we propose lines for further research on this topic.
