Dorit Aharonov
Israeli computer scientist and quantum-complexity theorist; co-author of a survey on "Quantum NP" (with T. Naveh) and a paper on lattice problems in NP ∩ coNP (with O. Regev), both cited in Scott Aaronson's 2005 postselection paper.
Matters to this vault as a disambiguation: she is Yakir Aharonov's niece (corrected from "daughter," 2026-10-30 scheduled audit), but the two have no documented shared work in this vault's cluster. Aaronson's citations to "D. Aharonov" are to her, not to Yakir Aharonov's retrocausal weak-value program — the shared surname (and the actual family relation) invites a conflation that the underlying citations don't support. Recorded on her own hub specifically so a future keyword search for "Aharonov" lands on the distinction rather than rediscovering and half-trusting the coincidence.
