The finite abelian hidden subgroup problem
by Losert, Bernd, M.S., FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY, 2010, 43 pages; 1484583

Abstract:

The hidden subgroup problem has been an active topic of research in quantum computing for over the past 10 years. Out of all the literature that is out there on this topic, there are very few survey articles which discuss most or all of the details concerning the Abelian hidden subgroup problem. As a matter of fact, many articles [17, 26, 22, 451 claim that an efficient quantum algorithm for the Abelian hidden subgroup problem is folklore. To quote Jozsa [211: "...the detailed description of an efficient quantum algorithm for the general abelian hidden subgroup problem seems not to have been described in the literature." Apart from banishing this folklore, the aim of this work is to serve as a monograph about the Abelian hidden subgroup, discussing many of the finer points that are ignored in the literature so as to make it accessible and comprehensible to the mathematically mature reader.

About ProQuest Dissertations & Theses
With over 2.3 million records, the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) database is the most comprehensive collection of dissertations and theses in the world. It is the database of record for graduate research.

The database includes citations of graduate works ranging from the first U.S. dissertation, accepted in 1861, to those accepted as recently as last semester. Of the 2.3 million graduate works included in the database, ProQuest offers more than 1.9 million in full text formats. Of those, over 860,000 are available in PDF format. More than 60,000 dissertations and theses are added to the database each year.
