We study scattering quantum walks on highly symmetric graphs and use the walks to solve search problems on these graphs. The particle making the walk resides on the edges of the graph, and at each time step scatters at the vertices. All of…

Given a graph $G$, a query node $q$, and an integer $k$, community search (CS) seeks a cohesive subgraph (measured by community models such as $k$-core or $k$-truss) from $G$ that contains $q$. It is difficult for ordinary users with less…

We study the quantum query complexity of the Boolean hidden shift problem. Given oracle access to f(x+s) for a known Boolean function f, the task is to determine the n-bit string s. The quantum query complexity of this problem depends…

We propose a new finding $k$-minima algorithm and prove that its query complexity is $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{kN})$, where $N$ is the number of data indices. Though the complexity is equivalent to that of an existing method, the proposed is…

In a fundamental paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 325 (1997)] Grover showed how a quantum computer can find a single marked object in a database of size N by using only O(N^{1/2}) queries of the oracle that identifies the object. His result was…
