We define a new model of communication complexity, called the garden-hose model. Informally, the garden-hose complexity of a function f:{0,1}^n x {0,1}^n to {0,1} is given by the minimal number of water pipes that need to be shared between…
We study position-based cryptography in the quantum setting. We examine a class of protocols that only require the communication of a single qubit and 2n bits of classical information. To this end, we define a new model of communication…
We show new results about the garden-hose model. Our main results include improved lower bounds based on non-deterministic communication complexity (leading to the previously unknown $\Theta(n)$ bounds for Inner Product mod 2 and…

We study the communication complexity of computing functions $F:\{0,1\}^n\times \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ in the memoryless communication model. Here, Alice is given $x\in \{0,1\}^n$, Bob is given $y\in \{0,1\}^n$ and their goal is to…
Downward translation of equality refers to cases where a collapse of some pair of complexity classes would induce a collapse of some other pair of complexity classes that (a priori) one expects are smaller. Recently, the first downward…

We investigate how much quantum distributed algorithms can outperform classical distributed algorithms with respect to the message complexity (the overall amount of communication used by the algorithm). Recently, Dufoulon, Magniez and…
The polynomial hierarchy plays a central role in classical complexity theory. Here, we define a quantum generalization of the polynomial hierarchy, and initiate its study. We show that not only are there natural complete problems for the…
Equality and disjointness are two of the most studied problems in communication complexity. They have been studied for both classical and also quantum communication and for various models and modes of communication. Buhrman et al. [Buh98]…
