Improved approximation algorithms for maximum cut and satisfiability problems using semidefinite programming

MX Goemans, DP Williamson - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 1995 - dl.acm.org
We present randomized approximation algorithms for the maximum cut (MAX CUT) and
maximum 2-satisfiability (MAX 2SAT) problems that always deliver solutions of expected …

[BOOK][B] Geometry of cuts and metrics

M Deza, M Laurent, R Weismantel - 1997 - Springer
Cuts and metrics are well-known objects that arise-independently, but with many deep and
fascinating connections-in diverse fields: in graph theory, combinatorial optimization …

On a positive semidefinite relaxation of the cut polytope

M Laurent, S Poljak - Linear Algebra and its Applications, 1995 - Elsevier
We study the convex set L n defined by L nZ≔{X| X=(xij) a positive semidefinite n× n matrix,
xii= 1 for all i}. We describe several geometric properties of L n. In particular, we show that L …

Nonasymptotic assisted distillation of quantum coherence

B Regula, L Lami, A Streltsov - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We characterize the operational task of environment-assisted distillation of quantum
coherence under different sets of free operations when only a finite supply of copies of a …

On the facial structure of the set of correlation matrices

M Laurent, S Poljak - SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 1996 - SIAM
We study the facial structure of the set E_n*n of correlation matrices (ie, the positive
semidefinite matrices with diagonal entries equal to 1). In particular, we determine the …

A tight degree 4 sum-of-squares lower bound for the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick Hamiltonian

D Kunisky, AS Bandeira - Mathematical Programming, 2021 - Springer
We show that, if WW is an N * NN× N matrix drawn from the gaussian orthogonal ensemble,
then with high probability the degree 4 sum-of-squares relaxation cannot certify an upper …

Inverting quantum decoherence by classical feedback from the environment

F Buscemi, G Chiribella, G Mauro D'Ariano - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We show that for qubits and qutrits it is always possible to perfectly recover quantum
coherence by performing a measurement only on the environment, whereas for dimension …

Diagonal unitary and orthogonal symmetries in quantum theory

S Singh, I Nechita - Quantum, 2021 - quantum-journal.org
We analyze bipartite matrices and linear maps between matrix algebras, which are
respectively, invariant and covariant, under the diagonal unitary and orthogonal groups' …

On the mixed-unitary rank of quantum channels

M Girard, D Leung, J Levick, CK Li, V Paulsen… - … in Mathematical Physics, 2022 - Springer
In the theory of quantum information, the mixed-unitary quantum channels, for any positive
integer dimension n, are those linear maps that can be expressed as a convex combination …

[HTML][HTML] Positive semidefinite matrix completion, universal rigidity and the strong Arnold property

M Laurent, A Varvitsiotis - Linear Algebra and its Applications, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper addresses the following three topics: positive semidefinite (psd) matrix
completions, universal rigidity of frameworks, and the Strong Arnold Property (SAP). We …
