We study the quantum query complexity of minor-closed graph properties, which include such problems as determining whether an $n$-vertex graph is planar, is a forest, or does not contain a path of a given length. We show that most…

There are few known exponential speedups for quantum algorithms and these tend to fall into even fewer families. One speedup that has mostly resisted generalization is the use of quantum walks to traverse the welded-tree graph, due to…

In this paper, we propose an extension of quantum searches on graphs driven by quantum walks to simplicial complexes. To this end, we newly define a quantum walk on simplicial complex which is an alternative of preceding studies by authors.…
