Hidden Subgroup Quantum Algorithms for a Class of Semi-Direct Product Groups

Wim van Dam, Dey, Siladitya

Published Jan 1, 2014• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

A quantum algorithm for the Hidden Subgroup Problem over the group Z/p^{r}Z \rtimes Z/q^{s}Z is presented. This algorithm, which for certain parameters of the group qualifies as 'efficient', generalizes prior work on related semi-direct product groups.

An Efficient Algorithm for the Hidden Subgroup Problem over a Class of Semi-direct Product Groups

Yoshifumi Inui, François Le Gall

Abstract. In this paper, we consider the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) over the class of semi-direct product groups Zn⋊Zq. The definition of the semi-direct product depending on the choice of an homomorphism, we first analyze the different possibilities for this homomorphism in function of n and q. Then, we present a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for the case Zp r ⋊ Zp when p is an odd prime. Keywords: Quantum Algorithms, Hidden Subgroup Problem, Semi-direct Product 1

Efficient quantum algorithms for the hidden subgroup problem over semi-direct product groups

Y. Inui, François Le Gall

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 algorithm for the hidden subgroup problem on a class of semidirect product groups

Carlos Magno Martins Cosme, Renato Portugal

We present efficient quantum algorithms for the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) on the semidirect product of cyclic groups $\Z_{p^r}\rtimes_ϕ\Z_{p^2}$, where $p$ is any odd prime number and $r$ is any integer such that $r>4$. We also address the HSP in the group $\Z_{N}\rtimes_ϕ\Z_{p^2}$, where $N$ is an integer with a special prime factorization. These quantum algorithms are exponentially faster than any classical algorithm for the same purpose.

We characterize the algebraic structure of semi-direct product of cyclic groups, $\Z_{N}\rtimes\Z_{p}$, where $p$ is an odd prime number which does not divide $q-1$ for any prime factor $q$ of $N$, and provide a polynomial-time quantum computational algorithm solving hidden symmetry subgroup problem of the groups.

Efficient quantum algorithms for some instances of the non-Abelian hidden subgroup problem

Gábor Ivanyos, Frédéric Magniez, Miklós Sántha

In this paper we show that certain special cases of the hidden subgroup problem can be solved in polynomial time by a quantum algorithm. These special cases involve finding hidden normal subgroups of solvable groups and permutation groups, finding hidden subgroups of groups with small commutator subgroup and of groups admitting an elementary Abelian normal 2-subgroup of small index or with cyclic factor group.

In this paper, we consider the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) over the class of semi-direct product groups Zpr⋊Zq\mathbb{Z}_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_qZpr​⋊Zq​, for ppp and qqq 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 Zpr⋊Zp\mathbb{Z}_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_pZpr​⋊Zp​, where ppp 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 Zprm⋊Zp\mathbb{Z}^m_{p^r}\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_pZprm​⋊Zp​.

We also address the HSP in the group ZN⋊ϕZp2\Z_{N}\rtimes_ϕ\Z_{p^2}ZN​⋊ϕ​Zp2​, where NNN is an integer with a special prime factorization. These quantum algorithms are exponentially faster than any classical algorithm for the same purpose.
