Abstract
Based on the recent breakthrough of Huang (2019), we show that for any total Boolean function , the deterministic query complexity, , is at most quartic in the quantum query complexity, : . This matches the known separation (up to log factors) due to Ambainis, Balodis, Belovs, Lee, Santha, and Smotrovs (2017). We also use the result to resolve the quantum analogue of the Aanderaa-Karp-Rosenberg conjecture. We show that if is a nontrivial monotone graph property of an -vertex graph specified by its adjacency matrix, then , which is also optimal.
