1 Quantum Boolean Summation withRepetitions in the Worst - Average Setting ?

We study the quantum summation (QS) algorithm of Brassard, HHyer, Mosca and Tapp, see 1], which approximates the arithmetic mean of a Boolean function deened on N elements. We present sharp error bounds of the QS algorithm in the worst-average setting with the average performance measured in the Lq norm, q 2 1; 1]. We prove that the QS algorithm with M quantum queries, M < N, has the worst-aver...
