Abstract
Let denote length preserving function on words. A classical algorithm can be considered as iterated applications of black box representing , beginning with input word of length . It is proved that if , and is chosen randomly then with probability 1 every quantum computer requires not less than evaluations of to obtain the result of classical computation. It means that the set of classical algorithms admitting quantum speeding up has probability measure zero. The second result is that for arbitrary classical time complexity and chosen randomly with probability 1 every quantum simulation of classical computation requires at least evaluations of .
