Lower bounds for local search by quantum arguments
The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hype...

Quantum lower bound for the collision problem
The collision problem is to decide whether a function X : {1, . . . , n} {1, . . . , n} is one-to-one or two-to-one, given that one of these is the case. We show a lower bound of...

Quantum Lower Bound for Recursive Fourier Sampling
One of the earliest quantum algorithms was discovered by Bernstein and Vazirani, for a problem called Recursive Fourier Sampling. This paper shows that the Bernstein-Vazirani algo...

Quantum Lower Bounds by Polynomials
We examine the number T of queries that a quantum network requires to compute several Boolean functions on f0;1gN in the black-box model. We show that, in the blackbox model, the ...
