We examine a class of collective coin- ipping games that arises from randomized distributed algorithms with halting failures. In these games, a sequence of local coin ips is gener...
We consider the quantum complexities of the following three problems: searching an ordered list, sorting an un-ordered list, and deciding whether the numbers in a list are all dis...
We show that any quantum algorithm to decide whether a function f : [n] → [n] is a permutation or far from a permutation must make Ω n1/3 /w queries to f, even if the algorith...
A randomized algorithm is given that solves the wait-free consensus problem for a shared-memory model with infinitely many processes. The algorithm is based on a weak shared coin ...
Abstract: We give a quantum algorithm for the binary NAND tree problem in the Hamiltonian oracle model. The algorithm uses a continuous time quantum walk with a running time propor...
