Improved Undecidability Results on the Emptiness Problem of Probabilistic and Quantum Cut-Point Languages

Mika Hirvensalo, Improved Undecidability Results on the Emptiness Problem of Probabilistic and Quantum Cut-Point Languages. TUCS Technical Reports 769, Turku Centre for Computer Science, 2006.

Abstract:

We give constructions of probabilistic and MO-type quantum automata
that have undecidable emptiness problem for the cut-point languages. The
sizes of the automata over a binary alphabet are 25 and 21, rather than
47 and 43 given in [1] and [2], respectively.
