We present two general methods for proving lower bounds on the query complexity of nonadaptive quantum algorithms. Both methods are based on the adversary method of Ambainis. We sh...
Obtaining fast and good quality approximations to data distributions is a problem of central interest to database management. A variety of popular database applications including,...
Given a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space, S ⊂ Ed , and a query point q ∈ Ed , we wish to determine the nearest neighbor of q, that is, the point of S whose Euc...
Abstract. We consider data structures and algorithms for preprocessing a labelled list of length n so that, for any given indices i and j we can answer queries of the form: What is...
