: We give a simple proof of the OSSS inequality (O'Donnell, Saks, Schramm, Servedio, FOCS 2005). The inequality states that for any decision tree T calculating a Boolean funct...
: We define quantum expanders in a natural way and give two constructions of quantum expanders, both based on classical expander constructions. The first construction is algebraic,...
: We consider the Submodular Welfare Problem where we have m items and n players with given utility functions wi : 2[m] R+. The utility functions are assumed to be monotone and su...
Abstract: We present a new method for proving lower bounds on quantum query algorithms. The new method is an extension of the adversary method, by analyzing the eigenspace structur...
