Computation at a Distance

We consider a model of computation motivated by possible limitations on quantum computers. We have a linear array of n wires, and we may perform operations only on pairs of adjacent wires. Our goal is to build a circuits that perform specified operations spanning all n wires. We show that the natural lower bound of n− 1 on circuit depth is nearly tight for a variety of problems, and we prove li...
