Complexity measures and decision tree complexity: a survey

TL;DR: Several complexity measures for Boolean functions are discussed: certificate complexity, sensitivity, block sensitivity, and the degree of a representing or approximating polynomial, and how they give bounds for the decision tree complexity of Boolean functions on deterministic, randomized, and quantum computers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum fingerprinting

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that fingerprints consisting of quantum information can be made exponentially smaller than the original strings without any correlations or entanglement between the parties, and they give a test that distinguishes any two unknown quantum fingerprints with high probability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum lower bounds by polynomials

TL;DR: This work examines the number of queries to input variables that a quantum algorithm requires to compute Boolean functions on {0,1}N in the black-box model and gives asymptotically tight characterizations of T for all symmetric f in the exact, zero-error, and bounded-error settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlocality and communication complexity

TL;DR: The area of quantum communication complexity is reviewed, and it is shown how it connects the foundational physics questions regarding non-locality with those of communication complexity studied in theoretical computer science.

Quantum Lower Bounds by Polynomials

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the exponential quantum speed-up obtained for partial functions (i.e., problems involving a promise on the input) by Deutsch and Jozsa and by Simon cannot be obtained for any total function, and that there is a classical deterministic algorithm that computes some total Boolean function f with bounded-error using T black-box queries.
