New upper and lower bounds for randomized and quantum local search
Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to combinatorial optimization, complexi...

Bounded-error quantum state identification and exponential separations in communication complexity
We consider the problem of bounded-error quantum state identification: given either state 0 or state 1, we are required to output `0', `1' or `?' ("don't ...

Lower bounds for adaptive linearity tests
Linearity tests are randomized algorithms which have oracle access to the truth table of some function f, and are supposed to distinguish between linear functions and functions whi...

A genetic approach for random testing of database systems
Testing a database engine has been and continues to be a challenging task. The space of possible SQL queries along with their possible access paths is practically unbounded. Moreo...

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...
