Abstract

In the oracle identification problem we have oracle access to bits of an unknown string xx of length nn, with the promise that it belongs to a known set C{0,1}nC\subseteq\{0,1\}^n. The goal is to identify xx using as few queries to the oracle as possible. We develop a quantum query algorithm for this problem with query complexity O(nlogMlog(n/logM)+1)O\left(\sqrt{\frac{n\log M }{\log(n/\log M)+1}}\right), where MM is the size of CC. This bound is already derived by Kothari in 2014, for which we provide a more elegant simpler proof.
