This document is was the Research Proposal part of my Ph.D. Comprehensive-II requirement at the University of Waterloo.

Working title: Quantum Algorithms and Lower Bounds in the Hamiltonian oracle model

I have "rebooted" this document. The draft from before the reboot may be viewed here.

Introduction and Background

Over 15 years ago, John Preskill proposed that the black hole information loss problem “may well presage a revolution in fundamental physics”^[1]. Since Preskill's paper, much has been learned about quantum information.
