Abstract

We give efficient quantum algorithms for the problems of Hidden Translation and Hidden Subgroup in a large class of non-abelian groups including solvable groups of constant exponent and of constant length derived series. Our algorithms are recursive. For the base case, we solve efficiently Hidden Translation in Z pn, whenever p is a fixed prime. For the induction step, we introduce the problem Orbit Coset generalizing both Hidden Translation and Hidden Subgroup, and prove a powerful self-reducibility result: Orbit Coset in a finite group G is reducible to Orbit Coset in G/N and subgroups of N, for any solvable normal subgroup N of G.
