State succinctness of two-way finite automata with quantum and classical states
Abstract
{\it Two-way quantum automata with quantum and classical states} (2QCFA) were introduced by Ambainis and Watrous in 2002. In this paper we study state succinctness of 2QCFA. For any and any , we show that: {enumerate} there is a promise problem which can be solved by a 2QCFA with one-sided error in a polynomial expected running time with a constant number (that depends neither on nor on ) of quantum states and classical states, whereas the sizes of the corresponding {\it deterministic finite automata} (DFA), {\it two-way nondeterministic finite automata} (2NFA) and polynomial expected running time {\it two-way probabilistic finite automata} (2PFA) are at least , , and , respectively; there exists a language over the alphabet which can be recognized by a 2QCFA with one-sided error in an exponential expected running time with a constant number of quantum states and classical states, whereas the sizes of the corresponding DFA, 2NFA and polynomial expected running time 2PFA are at least , , and , respectively; {enumerate} where is a constant.
