Provable Classical and Quantum Local Algorithms for Max-$k$-Cut and Quantum Advantage at Moderate Girth

Broadening the study of quantum optimization algorithms from binary to $k$-element alphabets has been shown to open new avenues for potential quantum advantage. A quantum advantage claim for approximate optimization requires showing that, under the same assumptions, an efficient quantum algorithm provably achieves a be...

Cycle Codes and Decoded Quantum Interferometry

Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI) reduces optimization problems with two-variable constraints to decoding cycle codes. For one such problem, namely MaxCut, prior work showed that DQI achieves a nontrivial satisfaction fraction guarantee only on linear-girth graphs, for which MaxCut is classically easy. However, thes...

Anytime Training with Schedule-Free Spectral Optimization

SF-NorMuon, a schedule-free spectral optimizer that closes the performance gap with tuned AdamW baselines, makes horizon-free optimization more practical, taking a step towards truly open-ended, continual learning.

Scale Weight Decay and Train Better

It is proved that this scaled weight decay preserves the asymptotic stationarity guarantees of the corresponding unregularized methods for both stochastic gradient descent and the non-Euclidean spectral optimizer Muon, thereby avoiding the additional asymptotic bias introduced by constant decoupled weight decay.
