The success of the abstract model of computation, in terms of bits, logical operations, programming language constructs, and the like, makes it easy to forget that computation is a physical process. Our cherished notions of computation and information are grounded in classical mechanics, but the physics underlying our world is quantum. In the early 80s researchers began to ask how computation would change if we adopted a quantum mechanical, instead of a classical mechanical, view of computation…

Quantum interference as a resource for quantum speedup
Quantum states can in a sense be thought of as generalizations of classical probability distributions, but are more powerful than probability distributions when used for computation or communication.
Entanglement and interference resources in quantum computation and communication
This dissertation contains results on three quite different topics that investigate the entanglement resources required for two parties to jointly implement a unitary operation using local operations and classical communication, and generalizes the concept of graph homomorphism to non-commutative graphs to the quantum case.
Value Indefiniteness, Randomness and Unpredictability in Quantum Foundations. (De la Valeur Indéfinie aux Notions d'Aléatoire et d'Imprévisibilité Quantiques)
A formal model of prediction that can be used to asses the predictability of arbitrary physical experiments is proposed, and it is shown that the outcome of a single measurement of a value indefinite quantum observable is formally unpredictable.
A Non-Probabilistic Model of Relativised Predictability in Physics

• 2015
A more refined model that is capable of studying different degrees of “relativised” unpredictability is presented, showing that quantum complementarity guarantees a form of relativised unpredictability that is weaker than that guaranteed by Kochen–Specker-type value indefiniteness.
Entanglement verification and steering when Alice and Bob cannot be trusted

This paper gives the first formal evidence that quantum Turing machines violate the modern (complexity theoretic) formulation of the Church--Turing thesis, and proves that bits of precision suffice to support a step computation.
Quantum computers that can be simulated classically in polynomial time
It is shown that two-bit operations characterized by 4 \times 4 matrices in which the sixteen entries obey a set of five polynomial relations can be composed according to certain rules to yield a class of circuits that can be simulated classically in polynometric time.

It is shown that quantum states can be too entangled to be useful for the purpose of computation, in that high values of the geometric measure of entanglement preclude states from offering a universal quantum computational speedup.
Quantum Algorithms
New small size quantum computers are coming to age and the use of such a machine brings the possibility of exploring new quantum algorithms, which makes feasible attacking optimization problems, which are relevant for different industries.

It is shown that several simple changes to the axioms of quantum mechanics would let us solve PP-complete problems efficiently, or probabilistic polynomial-time, and implies, as an easy corollary, a celebrated theorem of Beigel, Reingold and Spielman that PP is closed under intersection.
