Time complexity of applying $U(T)$ and possibility of instantaneous application via teleportation
Let $H(t)$ be a time-dependent Hamiltonian. Then, for $t \in [0,T]$, the evolution of $|\psi(t)\rangle$ is given by the Schrodinger equation
$$
\frac{d}{dt}|\psi(t)\rangle = -iH(t) |\psi(t)\rangle, \...

Is it well-known that the Feynman-Kitaev Hamiltonian cannot be constructed from terms of bounded locality?
Suppose I have a depth-$D$ circuit of unitaries $U_1,\dots, U_D$. It's well-known that the Feynman-Kitaev Hamiltonian can implement this:
$$H_U = \sum_{i=1}^D -U_i \otimes \vert x\rangle\langle x-1\...

Is there a sign-problem when the wavefunction itself has positive and negative values, or is it only when the Hamiltonian has such entries?
Consider the following two problems:
Let $A$ be an $s$-sparse $2^n\times 2^n$ Hermitian matrix with entries $A_{jk}$ in $\{0,1,-1\}$ both along the main diagonal and off the diagonal. Let $|\psi\...

Can we edge-color $d$-regular Cayley graphs with only $d$ colors, rather than $(d+1)^2 n^6$ as in Aharanov and Ta-Shma?
Inspired by a recent comment from John Watrous, consider a Cayley graph $\Gamma$ of a group $G$ of order $O(\exp n),$ with generating set $R\subseteq G$ having $d=\vert R\vert$ such generators.
