We study the quantum query complexity of the Boolean hidden shift problem. Given oracle access to f(x+s) for a known Boolean function f, the task is to determine the n-bit string s. The quantum query complexity of this problem depends…
We present a quantum algorithmic routine that extends the realm of Grover-based heuristics for tackling combinatorial optimization problems with arbitrary efficiently computable objective and constraint functions. Building on previously…
We consider the quantum complexities of the following three problems: searching an ordered list, sorting an un-ordered list, and deciding whether the numbers in a list are all distinct. Letting N be the number of elements in the input list,…
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…
Perceptrons, which perform binary classification, are the fundamental building blocks of neural networks. Given a data set of size~$N$ and margin~$\gamma$ (how well the given data are separated), the query complexity of the best-known…
The current paper presents a new quantum algorithm for finding multicollisions, often denoted by $\ell$-collisions, where an $\ell$-collision for a function is a set of $\ell$ distinct inputs that are mapped by the function to the same…
Algorithms with unitary oracles can be nested, which makes them extremely versatile. An example is the phase estimation algorithm used in many candidate algorithms for quantum speed-up. The search for new quantum algorithms benefits from…
Quantum contextuality is a limitation on deterministic hidden variable models, testable in measurement scenarios where outcomes differ under quantum or classical descriptions due to a common set of constraints. When considering measurements…
We propose a quantum algorithm for closest pattern matching which allows us to search for as many distinct patterns as we wish in a given string (database), requiring a query function per symbol of the pattern alphabet. This represents a…
In the oracle identification problem, we are given oracle access to an unknown N-bit string x promised to belong to a known set C of size M and our task is to identify x. We present a quantum algorithm for the problem that is optimal in its…
The set equality problem is to tell whether two sets $A$ and $B$ are equal or disjoint under the promise that one of these is the case. This problem is related to the Graph Isomorphism problem. It was an open problem to find any $\omega(1)$…
Research on quantum computing has recently gained significant momentum since first physical devices became available. Many quantum algorithms make use of so-called oracles that implement Boolean functions and are queried with highly…
A probabilistic version of the Bernstein-Vazirani problem (which is a generalization of the original Bernstein-Vazirani problem) and a quantum algorithm to solve it are proposed. The problem involves finding one or more secret keys from a…
Recent results suggest that quantum computers possess the potential to speed up nonconvex optimization problems. However, a crucial factor for the implementation of quantum optimization algorithms is their robustness against experimental…
The quantum query complexity of Boolean matrix multiplication is typically studied as a function of the matrix dimension, n, as well as the number of 1s in the output, \ell. We prove an upper bound of O (n\sqrt{\ell}) for all values of…
Withdrawn by the author due to irreparable errors. We present a quantum algorithm that in the black-box model performs a search in an ordered list of N elements. Using 3/4 log N + O(1) queries, it achieves a success probability of at least…
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 study quantum algorithms working on classical probability distributions. We formulate four different models for accessing a classical probability distribution on a quantum computer, which are derived from previous work on the topic, and…
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 show that quantum search can be used to compute the hardness to round an elementary function, that is, to determine the minimum working precision required to compute the values of an elementary function correctly rounded to a target…
