Postdoc doing quantum complexity theory at University of Waterloo.

My PhD thesis "Quantum State and Unitary Complexity" is out: cs.toronto.edu/~rosenthal/th…. Three reasons to look at it even if you're already familiar with my papers:

On the contrary: the “Key Dates” at qipconference.org/2027/, which I viewed weeks ago and planned around, does not say manuscripts must be public on arXiv by Oct. 5. Please update the webpage, as I previously requested, rather than relying on social media reminders.
For talks that have been registered, keep in mind the deadline for uploading to arXiv: submit before 14:00 Eastern Daylight Time (18:00 UTC) on September 30 2026, to have moderation-delay protection.

New paper with Hugo Aaronson, Sathya Subramanian, Animesh Datta, @TomGur: “Quantum channel testing in average-case distance” arxiv.org/abs/2409.12566. How many times do you need to query a blackbox quantum channel to test identity to a fixed channel? (1/5)

My coauthors and I are high on ACID distance being the right notion since we give dimension-independent upper bounds for testing some properties. (Not via blackbox reductions to state testing on the Choi state! Those aren’t always optimal.) (4/5)

We improve state-of-the art upper bounds in diamond distance too. On the other hand we also show dimension-dependent lower bounds for testing some properties, even in ACID distance, among other results. Lots of open problems! (5/5)

Question for quantum information people: Is the following lower bound on fidelity claimed by ChatGPT accurate?

Update: some responses to the quote tweet give a counterexample.

“A lot of people have expressed their shock about what’s happened on college campuses… but I wasn’t shocked. And I want to tell you why.” Watch Free Press intern @juliaonatroika’s testimony in front of Congress this morning on the rise of antisemitism on college campuses.

Finally thanks to Ben Rossman and @henryquantum for being great advisors!

The complexity class AM should be called AMA because Merlin tells Arthur “ask me anything”.

An underrated benefit of Zoom talks is that when this happens, it's easier to inconspicuously leave the talk (or stay but divert attention elsewhere until the immediate subject changes).
