Optimal one-shot quantum algorithm for EQUALITY and AND

Quantum Physics 2017-01-25 v1 Computational Complexity

Abstract

We study the computation complexity of Boolean functions in the quantum black box model. In this model our task is to compute a function f:{0,1}{0,1}f:\{0,1\}\to\{0,1\} on an input x{0,1}nx\in\{0,1\}^n that can be accessed by querying the black box. Quantum algorithms are inherently probabilistic; we are interested in the lowest possible probability that the algorithm outputs incorrect answer (the error probability) for a fixed number of queries. We show that the lowest possible error probability for ANDnAND_n and EQUALITYn+1EQUALITY_{n+1} is 1/2n/(n2+1)1/2-n/(n^2+1).
