Quantum algorithms for finding constant-sized sub-hypergraphs

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We develop a general framework to construct quantum algorithms that detect if a 3-uniform hypergraph given as input contains a sub-hypergraph isomorphic to a prespecified constant-sized hypergraph. This framework is based on the concept of nested quantum walks recently proposed by Jeffery, Kothari and Magniez [SODA'13], and extends the methodology designed by Lee, Magniez and Santha [SODA'13] for similar problems over graphs. As applications, we obtain a quantum algorithm for finding a 4-clique in a 3-uniform hypergraph on n vertices with query complexity O(n1.883), and a quantum algorithm for determining if a ternary operator over a set of size n is associative with query complexity O(n2.113).
