We show that any k-regular bipartite graph with 2n vertices has at least ((k−1)k−1 kk−2 )n perfect matchings (1-factors). Equivalently, this is a lower bound on the permanent...

We prove lower bounds on the error probability of a quantum algorithm for searching through an unordered list of N items, as a function of the number T of queries it makes. In par...
