Abstract

Fourier analysis is playing a pivotal role in designing quantum algorithms. Recently, Fourier analysis on the space of operators and the space of super-operators, which is termed as Pauli analysis, has received increasing attention. It has found connections to various areas of quantum computing. In this talk, I will introduce some background on Pauli analysis and present some recently discovered applications in quantum learning theory and quantum complexity theory.
