Quantum computing via the lens of additive combinatorics

Abstract
We present a new paradigm of designing quantum algorithms via a general-purpose machinery for boosting quantum computation. The framework relies on deep mathematical tools including the quasi-polynomial Bogolyubov-Ruzsa lemma and sheds light on an inherent connection between additive combinatorics and the linearity of quantum mechanics. I will also discuss applications to quantum complexity theory, learning, and cryptography.
