Explicit Orthogonal and Unitary DesignsBeyond the Boolean Cube 20232023-06-26
Gives a strongly explicit construction of ε‑approximate k‑designs for O(N) and U(N) with N = 2^n, achieving size poly(N^k/ε) (equivalently seed length O(nk +…

Explicit Abelian Lifts and Quantum LDPC CodesITCS 20222022-01-31
Constructs polynomial-time explicit d-regular expanders that are Z_L lifts (and more generally transitive abelian lifts) for L up to about 2^{cN}…

Optimizing Noncommutative Polynomials: The SYK ModelRigorous Evidence for Information-Computation Trade-offs2021-09-13
Random SYK Hamiltonians (Gaussian coefficients normalized so E[sum A_S^2]=1) live as implicit 2^{N/2}-dimensional Majorana matrices and have OPT(H) = Θ(√N)…

SOS and the Dreaded Bit-complexityHierarchies, Extended Formulations and Matrix-Analytic Techniques (2017)2017-11-06
Claims that degree-D Sum-of-Squares proofs are computable in n^{O(D)} time are misleading: semidefinite feasibility suffers big-R / little-r bit-size issues…

Sum of Squares Lower Bounds for Refuting Any CSPStructure vs. Randomness 20172017-04-10
Proves tight lower bounds showing the Sum‑of‑Squares (SOS) hierarchy cannot refute random CSPs below the specific density thresholds it earlier achieves…
