The QSVT paper cited from the complexity table. The abstract presents a polynomial transformation of the singular values of a block of a unitary, generalizing the optimal Hamiltonian simulation of Low and Chuang, usually with a constant number of ancilla qubits. The title's exponential improvements are improvements for stated matrix-arithmetic tasks, not a single classical speedup this library will label exponential. Hamiltonian simulation and HHL are the pages that already use the block-encoding results this framework generalizes. There is no QSVT algorithm page yet.
