Simon's problem asks the following: determine if a function $f: \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$ is one-to-one or if there exists a unique $s \in \{0,1\}^n$ such that $f(x) = f(x \oplus s)$ for all $x \in \{0,1\}^n$, given the promise that…

The fastest known classical algorithm deciding the $k$-colorability of $n$-vertex graph requires running time $\Omega(2^n)$ for $k\ge 5$. In this work, we present an exponential-space quantum algorithm computing the chromatic number with…
I provide an alternative way of seeing quantum computation. First, I describe an idealized classical problem solving machine that, thanks to a many body interaction, reversibly and nondeterministically produces the solution of the problem…
We discuss quantum algorithms that calculate numerical integrals and descriptive statistics of stochastic processes. With either of two distinct approaches, one obtains an exponential speed increase in comparison to the fastest known…
Given an item and a list of values of size $N$. It is required to decide if such item exists in the list. Classical computer can search for the item in O(N). The best known quantum algorithm can do the job in $O(\sqrt{N})$. In this paper, a…
