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...
Security of quantum key distribution against sophisticated attacks is among the most important issues in quantum information theory. In this work we prove security against a very ...
