Quantum Property Testing of Group Solvability

Testing efficiently whether a finite set with a binary operation over it, given as an oracle, is a group is a well-known open problem in the field of property testing. Recently, Friedl, Ivanyos and Santha have made a significant step in the direction of solving this problem by showing that it it possible to test efficiently whether the input is an Abelian group or is far, with respect to some distance, from any Abelian group. In this paper, we make a step further and construct an efficient quantum algorithm that tests whether the input is a solvable group, or is far from any solvable group. More precisely, the number of queries used by our algorithm is polylogarithmic in the size of the set.

Efficient Quantum Algorithms for the Hidden Subgroup Problem over a Class of Semi-direct Product Groups

In this paper, we consider the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) over the class of semi-direct product groups $\mathbb{Z}_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_q$, for p and q prime. We first present a classification of these groups in five classes. Then, we describe a polynomial-time quantum algorithm solving the HSP over all the groups of one of these classes: the groups of the form $\mathbb{Z}_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_p$, where p is an odd prime. Our algorithm works even in the most general case where the group is presented as a black-box group with not necessarily unique encoding. Finally, we extend this result and present an efficient algorithm solving the HSP over the groups $\mathbb{Z}^m_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_p$.

Quantum Property Testing for Solvable Groups

Property testing has been extensively studied and its target is to determine whether a given object satisfies a certain property or it is far from the property. In this paper, we construct an efficient quantum algorithm which tests if a given quantum oracle performs the group multiplication of a solvable group. Our work is strongly based on the efficient classical testing algorithm for Abelian groups proposed by Friedl, Ivanyos and Santha. Since every Abelian group is a solvable group, our result is in a sense a generalization of their result.
