The complexity of approximating complex-valued Ising and Tutte partition functions

We study the complexity of approximately evaluating the Ising and Tutte partition functions with complex parameters. Our re- sults are partly motivated by the study of the quantum complexity classes BQP and IQP. Recent results show how to encode quantum computations as evaluations of classical parti...
