All Quantum Adversary Methods Are Equivalent
Abstract: The quantum adversary method is one of the most versatile lower-bound methods for quantum algorithms. We show that all known variants of this method are equivalent: spect...

Negative weights make adversaries stronger
The quantum adversary method is one of the most successful techniques for proving lower bounds on quantum query complexity. It gives optimal lower bounds for many problems, has ap...

The Multiplicative Quantum Adversary
We present a new variant of the quantum adversary method. All adversary methods give lower bounds on the quantum query complexity of a function by bounding the change of a progres...

Inverting a permutation is as hard as unordered search
We describe a reduction from the problem of unordered search (with a unique solution) to the problem of inverting a permutation. Since there is a straightforward reduction in the ...

The Quantum Adversary Method and Classical Formula Size Lower Bounds
We introduce two new complexity measures for Boolean functions, which we name sumPI and maxPI. The quantity sumPI has been emerging through a line of research on quantum query com...
