We define a new notion of information cost for quantum protocols, and a corresponding notion of quantum information complexity for bipartite quantum channels, and then investigate the properties of such quantities. These are the fully…
We show that for a randomly sampled unsatisfiable $O(\log n)$-CNF over $n$ variables the randomized two-party communication cost of finding a clause falsified by the given variable assignment is linear in $n$.
Reduction of communication and efficient partitioning are key issues for achieving scalability in hierarchical $N$-Body algorithms like FMM. In the present work, we propose four independent strategies to improve partitioning and reduce…
We consider a quantum and classical version multi-party function computation problem with $n$ players, where players $2, \dots, n$ need to communicate appropriate information to player 1, so that a "generalized" inner product function with…
We obtain a lower bound of n^Omega(1) on the k-party randomized communication complexity of the Disjointness function in the `Number on the Forehead' model of multiparty communication when k is a constant. For k=o(loglog n), the bounds…
We consider the standard two-party communication model. The central problem studied in this article is how much one can save in information complexity by allowing an error of $\epsilon$. For arbitrary functions, we obtain lower bounds and…
The log-rank conjecture in communication complexity suggests that the deterministic communication complexity of any Boolean rank-r function is bounded by polylog(r). Recently, major progress was made by Lovett who proved that the…

A new channel coding approach was proposed in [1] for random multiple access communication over the discrete-time memoryless channel. The coding approach allows users to choose their communication rates independently without sharing the…
We consider the problem of communicating over a channel that breaks the message block into fragments of random lengths, shuffles them out of order, and deletes a random fraction of the fragments. Such a channel is motivated by applications…
One of the best lower bound methods for the quantum communication complexity of a function H (with or without shared entanglement) is the logarithm of the approximate rank of the communication matrix of H. This measure is essentially…
We prove a near optimal round-communication tradeoff for the two-party quantum communication complexity of disjointness. For protocols with $r$ rounds, we prove a lower bound of $\tilde{\Omega}(n/r + r)$ on the communication required for…
We characterize the communication complexity of the following distributed estimation problem. Alice and Bob observe infinitely many iid copies of $\rho$-correlated unit-variance (Gaussian or $\pm1$ binary) random variables, with unknown…
We show a partial Boolean function $f$ together with an input $x\in f^{-1}\left(*\right)$ such that both $C_{\bar{0}}\left(f,x\right)$ and $C_{\bar{1}}\left(f,x\right)$ are at least $C\left(f\right)^{2-o\left(1\right)}$. Due to recent…
We give an exponential separation between one-way quantum and classical communication protocols for a partial Boolean function (a variant of the Boolean Hidden Matching Problem of Bar-Yossef et al.) Earlier such an exponential separation…
