Comment on "Multivariable quantum signal processing (M-QSP): prophecies of the two-headed oracle"

Abstract: Multivariable Quantum Signal Processing (M-QSP) [1] is expected to provide an efficient means to handle polynomial transformations of multiple variables simultaneously. However, we noticed several inconsistencies in the main Theorem 2.3 and its proof in Ref. [1]. Moreover, a counterexample for Conjecture 2.1 in Ref. [1], which is used as an assumption in the proof of Theorem 2.3, is presented at Quantum Information Processing 2023 [2], meaning the requirement of the conjecture should be included as a condition in Theorem 2.3. Here we note our observations and propose the revised necessary conditions of M-QSP. We also show that these necessary conditions cannot be sufficient conditions, and thus some additional condition on top of these revisions is essentially required for complete M-QSP Theorem.
