Abstract:
In this talk, I will provide a brief introduction to quantum computation and demonstrate its potential for accelerating classical graph algorithms. Specifically, I will present an asymptotically tight result for learning a Hamiltonian cycle using OR queries, as well as a significant polynomial improvement on the best-known quantum algorithm for ($\Delta$+1) -coloring a graph with maximum degree $\Delta$.\\ \\ This work is based on joint research with Liam Hardiman (UCI) and Xiaonan Chen (UCI).
