A Linear-Optical Proof that the Permanent is #P-Hard

نویسنده

  • Scott Aaronson
چکیده

One of the crown jewels of complexity theory is Valiant’s 1979 theorem that computing the permanent of an n × n matrix is #P-hard. Here we show that, by using the model of linearoptical quantum computing—and in particular, a universality theorem due to Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn—one can give a different and arguably more intuitive proof of this theorem.

New Hardness Results for the Permanent Using Linear Optics

In 2011, Aaronson gave a striking proof, based on quantum linear optics, showing that the problem of computing the permanent of a matrix is #P-hard. Aaronson’s proof led naturally to hardness of approximation results for the permanent, and it was arguably simpler than Valiant’s seminal proof of the same fact in 1979. Nevertheless, it did not prove that computing the permanent was #P-hard for an...

Zero-One Permanent is #P-Complete, A Simpler Proof

In 1979, Valiant proved that computing the permanent of a 01-matrix is #PComplete. In this paper we present another proof for the same result. Our proof uses \black box" methodology, which facilitates its presentation. We also prove that deciding whether the permanent is divisible by a small prime is #P-Hard. We conclude by proving that a polynomially bounded function can not be #P-Complete und...

Fuzzy Linear Programming and its Application for a Constructive Proof of a Fuzzy Version of Farkas Lemma

The main aim of this paper is to deal with a fuzzy version of Farkas lemma involving trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. In turns to that the fuzzy linear programming and duality theory on these problems can be used to provide a constructive proof for Farkas lemma. Keywords Farkas Lemma, Fuzzy Linear Programming, Duality, Ranking Functions.

Testing for Stochastic Non- Linearity in the Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis

The Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis implies that consumption follows a martingale. However, most empirical tests have rejected the hypothesis. Those empirical tests are based on linear models. If the data generating process is non-linear, conventional tests may not assess some of the randomness properly. As a result, inference based on conventional tests of linear models can b...
