We prove that any exact quantum algorithm searching an ordered list of N elements requires more than \frac{1}{\pi}(\ln(N)-1) queries to the list. This improves upon the previously best known lower bound of {1/12}\log_2(N) - O(1). Our proof…
Quantum computing promises the ability to compute properties of quantum systems exponentially faster than classical computers. Quantum advantage is achieved when a practical problem is solved more efficiently on a quantum computer than on a…
We propose a new finding $k$-minima algorithm and prove that its query complexity is $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{kN})$, where $N$ is the number of data indices. Though the complexity is equivalent to that of an existing method, the proposed is…

Quantum algorithms are able to solve particular problems exponentially faster than conventional algorithms, when implemented on a quantum computer. However, all demonstrations to date have required already knowing the answer to construct…
Quantum coherence allows the computation of an arbitrary number of distinct computational paths in parallel. Based on quantum parallelism it has been conjectured that exponential or even larger speedups of computations are possible. Here it…
We show that any quantum algorithm searching an ordered list of n elements needs to examine at least 1/12 log n-O(1) of them. Classically, log n queries are both necessary and sufficient. This shows that quantum algorithms can achieve only…

Consider a database most of whose entries are marked but the precise fraction of marked entries is not known. What is known is that the fraction of marked entries is 1-X, where X is a random variable that is uniformly distributed in the…
