Claw Finding Algorithms Using Quantum Walk
The claw finding problem has been studied in terms of query complexity as one
of the problems closely connected to cryptography. For given two functions, f
and g, as an oracle which have domains of size N and M (N<=M), respectively,
and the same range, the goal of the problem is to find x and y such that
f(x)=g(y). This paper describes an optimal algorithm using quantum walk that
solves this problem. Our algorithm can be generalized to find a claw of k
functions for any constant integer k>1, where the domains of the functions may
have different size.Comment: 12 pages. Introduction revised. A reference added. Weak lower bound

The quantum complexity of approximating the frequency moments
The 'th frequency moment of a sequence of integers is defined as , where is the number of times that occurs in the
sequence. Here we study the quantum complexity of approximately computing the
frequency moments in two settings. In the query complexity setting, we wish to
minimise the number of queries to the input used to approximate up to
relative error . We give quantum algorithms which outperform the best
possible classical algorithms up to quadratically. In the multiple-pass
streaming setting, we see the elements of the input one at a time, and seek to
minimise the amount of storage space, or passes over the data, used to
approximate . We describe quantum algorithms for , and
in this model which substantially outperform the best possible
classical algorithms in certain parameter regimes.Comment: 22 pages; v3: essentially published versio
A Survey of Quantum Learning Theory
This paper surveys quantum learning theory: the theoretical aspects of
machine learning using quantum computers. We describe the main results known
for three models of learning: exact learning from membership queries, and
Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) and agnostic learning from classical or
quantum examples.Comment: 26 pages LaTeX. v2: many small changes to improve the presentation.
