Our problem is to evaluate a multi-valued Boolean function $F$ through oracle calls. If $F$ is one-to-one and the size of its domain and range is the same, then our problem can be formulated as follows: Given an oracle $f(a,x):…
It is an established fact that for many of the interesting problems quantum algorithms based on queries of the standard oracle bring no significant improvement in comparison to known classical algorithms. It is conceivable that there are…
In this paper, we consider a quantum algorithm for solving the following problem: ``Suppose $f$ is a function given as a black box (that is also called an oracle) and $f$ is invariant under some AND-mask. Examine a property of $f$ by…
We study how the choices made when designing an oracle affect the complexity of quantum property testing problems defined relative to this oracle. We encode a regular graph of even degree as an invertible function $f$, and present $f$ in…
We present a polynomial-time quantum algorithm making a single query (in superposition) to a classical oracle, such that for every state $|\psi\rangle$ there exists a choice of oracle that makes the algorithm construct an exponentially…
A foundational question in quantum computational complexity asks how much more useful a quantum state can be in a given task than a comparable, classical string. Aaronson and Kuperberg showed such a separation in the presence of a quantum…
The standard oracle operator corresponding to a function f is a unitary operator that computes this function coherently, i.e. it maintains superpositions. This operator acts on a bipartite system, where the subsystems are the input and…
We consider a generalization of the standard oracle model in which the oracle acts on the target with a permutation selected according to internal random coins. We describe several problems that are impossible to solve classically but can…
Kearns' statistical query (SQ) oracle (STOC'93) lends a unifying perspective for most classical machine learning algorithms. This ceases to be true in quantum learning, where many settings do not admit, neither an SQ analog nor a quantum…
We show that there exists an oracle relative to which quantum commitments exist but no (efficiently verifiable) one-way state generators exist. Both have been widely considered candidates for replacing one-way functions as the minimal…
We construct a classical oracle relative to which $\mathsf{P} = \mathsf{NP}$ but quantum-computable quantum-secure trapdoor one-way functions exist. This is a substantial strengthening of the result of Kretschmer, Qian, Sinha, and Tal (STOC…
Consider a quantum computer in combination with a binary oracle of domain size N. It is shown how N/2+sqrt(N) calls to the oracle are sufficient to guess the whole content of the oracle (being an N bit string) with probability greater than…
In this note we study the power of so called query-limited computers. We compare the strength of a classical computer that is allowed to ask two questions to an NP-oracle with the strength of a quantum computer that is allowed only one such…
Query complexity is a common tool for comparing quantum and classical computation, and it has produced many examples of how quantum algorithms differ from classical ones. Here we investigate in detail the role that oracles play for the…
Selecting a set of basis states is a common task in quantum computing, in order to increase and/or evaluate their probabilities. This is similar to designing WHERE clauses in classical database queries. Even though one can find heuristic…
The main promise of quantum computing is to efficiently solve certain problems that are prohibitively expensive for a classical computer. Most problems with a proven quantum advantage involve the repeated use of a black box, or oracle,…
The Unitary Synthesis Problem (Aaronson-Kuperberg 2007) asks whether any $n$-qubit unitary $U$ can be implemented by an efficient quantum algorithm $A$ augmented with an oracle that computes an arbitrary Boolean function $f$. In other…
The oracle model of computation is believed to allow a rigorous proof of quantum over classical computational superiority. Since quantum and classical oracles are essentially different, a correspondence principle is commonly implicitly used…
Quantum information is well-known to achieve cryptographic feats that are unattainable using classical information alone. Here, we add to this repertoire by introducing a new cryptographic functionality called uncloneable encryption. This…
Quantum algorithms are known for providing more efficient solutions to certain computational tasks than any corresponding classical algorithm. Here we show that a single qudit is sufficient to implement an oracle based quantum algorithm,…
