contents Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI) provides a framework for superpolynomial quantum speedups by reducing certain optimization problems to reversible decoding tasks. We apply DQI to the Optimal Polynomial Intersection (OPI) problem, whose dual code is Reed-Solomon (RS). We establish that DQI for OPI is the first known candidate for verifiable quantum advantage with optimal asymptotic speedup: solving instances with classical hardness $O(2^N)$ requires only $\widetilde{O}(N)$ quantum gates, matching the theoretical lower bound. Realizing this speedup requires highly efficient reversible RS decoders. We introduce novel quantum circuits for the Extended Euclidean Algorithm, the decoder's bottleneck. Our techniques, including a new representation for implicit Bézout coefficient access, and optimized in-place architectures, reduce the leading-order space complexity to the theoretical minimum of $2nb$ qubits while significantly lowering gate counts. These improvements are broadly applicable, including to Shor's algorithm for the discrete logarithm. We analyze OPI over binary extension fields $GF(2^b)$, assess hardness against new classical attacks, and identify resilient instances. Our resource estimates show that classically intractable OPI instances (requiring $>10^{23}$ classical trials) can be solved with approximately 5.72 million Toffoli gates. This is substantially less than the count required for breaking RSA-2048, positioning DQI as a compelling candidate for practical, verifiable quantum advantage.
