Quantum complexity theory
In this paper we study quantum computation from a complexity theoretic viewpoint. Our first result is the existence of an efficient universal quantum Turing machine in Deutsch’s...

Average-Case Quantum Query Complexity
Abstract. We compare classical and quantum query complexities of total Boolean functions. It is known that for worst-case complexity, the gap between quantum and classical can be a...

The Quantum Communication Complexity of Sampling
Sampling is an important primitive in probabilistic and quantum algorithms. In the spirit of communication complexity, given a function f : X

Complexity Limitations on Quantum Computation
We use the powerful tools of counting complexity and generic oracles to help understand the limitations of the complexity of quantum computation. We show several results for the p...

Quantum Algorithms for Element Distinctness
We present several applications of quantum amplitude amplification to finding claws and collisions in ordered or unordered functions. Our algorithms generalize those of Brassard...
