Given a function f as an oracle, the collision problem is to find two distinct inputs i and j such that f(i)=f(j), under the promise that such inputs exist. Since the security of many fundamental cryptographic primitives depends on the…
Based on the recent breakthrough of Huang (2019), we show that for any total Boolean function $f$, the deterministic query complexity, $D(f)$, is at most quartic in the quantum query complexity, $Q(f)$: $D(f) = O(Q(f)^4)$. This matches the…
The approximate degree of a Boolean function f is the least degree of a real polynomial that approximates f pointwise to error at most 1/3. Approximate degree is known to be a lower bound on quantum query complexity. We resolve or nearly…

We study the $\textit{average-case deterministic query complexity}$ of boolean functions under a $\textit{uniform input distribution}$, denoted by $\mathrm{D}_\mathrm{ave}(f)$, the minimum average depth of zero-error decision trees that…
An inequality by Samorodnitsky states that if $f : \mathbb{F}_2^n \to \mathbb{R}$ is a nonnegative boolean function, and $S \subseteq [n]$ is chosen by randomly including each coordinate with probability a certain $\lambda = \lambda(q,\rho)…
Lin and Lin have recently shown how starting with a classical query algorithm (decision tree) for a function, we may find upper bounds on its quantum query complexity. More precisely, they have shown that given a decision tree for a…
Query complexity is a model of computation in which we have to compute a function $f(x_1, \ldots, x_N)$ of variables $x_i$ which can be accessed via queries. The complexity of an algorithm is measured by the number of queries that it makes.…

The current paper presents a new quantum algorithm for finding multicollisions, often denoted by $\ell$-collisions, where an $\ell$-collision for a function is a set of $\ell$ distinct inputs that are mapped by the function to the same…
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…
Let $f: \{0,1\}^n \to \{0, 1\}$ be a boolean function, and let $f_\land (x, y) = f(x \land y)$ denote the AND-function of $f$, where $x \land y$ denotes bit-wise AND. We study the deterministic communication complexity of $f_\land$ and show…
Let a Boolean function be available as a black-box (oracle) and one likes to devise an algorithm to test whether it has certain property or it is $\epsilon$-far from having that property. The efficiency of the algorithm is judged by the…
