Qubit Complexity of Continuous Problems

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The number of qubits used by a quantum algorithm will be a crucial computational resource for the foreseeable future. We show how to obtain the classical query complexity for continuous problems. We then establish a simple formula for a lower bound on the qubit complexity in terms of the classical query complexity
