Quantum and Randomized Lower Bounds for Local Search on Vertex-Transitive Graphs
We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...

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...

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...

On the Quantum Query Complexity of Local Search in Two and Three Dimensions
The quantum query complexity of searching for local optima has been a subject of much interest in the recent literature. For the d-dimensional grid graphs, the complexity has been...

Quantum Search of Spatial Regions
: Can Grover’s algorithm speed up search of a physical region—for example a 2-D grid of size √ n × √ n? The problem is that √ n time seems to be needed for each query, j...
