We show a power 2.5 separation between bounded-error randomized and quantum query complexity for a total Boolean function, refuting the widely believed conjecture that the best such separation could only be quadratic (from Grover's…
We propose an algorithm for answering conjunctive queries with negation, where the negated relations have bounded degree. Its data complexity matches that of the best known algorithms for the positive subquery of the input query and is…
The main reason for query model's prominence in complexity theory and quantum computing is the presence of concrete lower bounding techniques: polynomial and adversary method. There have been considerable efforts to give lower bounds using…
Quantum algorithms can be analyzed in a query model to compute Boolean functions where input is given in a black box, but the aim is to compute function value for arbitrary input using as few queries as possible. In this paper we…
We consider the communication complexity of the binary inner product function in a variation of the two-party scenario where the parties have an a priori supply of particles in an entangled quantum state. We prove linear lower bounds for…
By how much must the communication complexity of a function increase if we demand that the parties not only correctly compute the function but also return all registers (other than the one containing the answer) to their initial states at…
Given a Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n\to\{0,1\}$, the goal in the usual query model is to compute $f$ on an unknown input $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ while minimizing the number of queries to $x$. One can also consider a "distinguishing" problem…
Generalizing earlier work characterizing the quantum query complexity of computing a function of an unknown classical ``black box'' function drawn from some set of such black box functions, we investigate a more general quantum query model…
A new quantum algorithm for a search problem and its computational complexity are discussed. It is shown in the search problem containing 2^n objects that our algorithm runs in polynomial time.
Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm (the one-query algorithm) can identify a completely specified linear Boolean function using a single query to the oracle with certainty. The first aim of the paper is to show that if the provided Boolean…
Quantum information processing is at the crossroads of physics, mathematics and computer science. It is concerned with that we can and cannot do with quantum information that goes beyond the abilities of classical information processing…
In this note, we develop a bounded-error quantum algorithm that makes $\tilde O(n^{1/4}\varepsilon^{-1/2})$ queries to a Boolean function $f$, accepts a monotone function, and rejects a function that is $\varepsilon$-far from being…
We consider the process consisting of preparation, transmission through a quantum channel, and subsequent measurement of quantum states. The communication complexity of the channel is the minimal amount of classical communication required…
The query model offers a concrete setting where quantum algorithms are provably superior to randomized algorithms. Beautiful results by Bernstein-Vazirani, Simon, Aaronson, and others presented partial Boolean functions that can be computed…
We establish a lower bound of $\Omega{(\sqrt{n})}$ on the bounded-error quantum query complexity of read-once Boolean functions, providing evidence for the conjecture that $\Omega(\sqrt{D(f)})$ is a lower bound for all Boolean functions.…
The mathematical structure of quantum entanglement is studied and classified from the point of view of quantum compound states. We show that t he classical-quantum correspondences such as encodings can be treated as dia gonal (d-)…
This paper gives a dichotomy theorem for the complexity of computing the partition function of an instance of a weighted Boolean constraint satisfaction problem. The problem is parameterised by a finite set F of non-negative functions that…
This paper considers distributed computing on an anonymous quantum network, a network in which no party has a unique identifier and quantum communication and computation are available. It is proved that the leader election problem can…
In this note, we study the relation between the parity decision tree complexity of a boolean function $f$, denoted by $\mathrm{D}_{\oplus}(f)$, and the $k$-party number-in-hand multiparty communication complexity of the XOR functions…
We describe new lower bounds for randomized communication complexity and query complexity which we call the partition bounds. They are expressed as the optimum value of linear programs. For communication complexity we show that the…
