Firstly, we show that $D(f) = O(Q_1(f)^3)$ for any total function $f$, where $D(f)$ is the minimal number of queries made by a deterministic query algorithm and $Q_1(f)$ is the number of queries made by any quantum query algorithm (decision tree analog in quantum case) with one-sided constant error; both algorithms compute function $f$. Secondly, we show that for all total Boolean functions $f$ holds $R_0(f)=O(R_2(f)^2 \\log N)$, where $R_0(f)$ and $R_2(f)$ are randomized zero-sided (a.k.a Las Vegas) and two-sided (a.k.a. Monte Carlo) error query complexities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2005-06-30T23:29:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complexity", "quantum query complexities", "total boolean functions", "quantum query algorithm" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005quant.ph..1142M" } } }
