Quantum search of partially ordered sets
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the generalisation of quantum search of unstructured and totally ordered sets to search of partially ordered sets (posets). Two models for poset search are considered. In both models, we show that quantum algorithms can achieve at most a quadratic improvement in query complexity over classical algorithms, up to logarithmic factors; we also give quantum algorithms that almost achieve this optimal reduction in complexity. In one model, we give an improved quantum algorithm for searching forest-like posets; in the other, we give an optimal O( √ m)-query quantum algorithm for searching posets derived from m×m arrays sorted by rows and columns. This leads to a quantum algorithm that finds the intersection of two sorted lists of n integers in O( √ n) time, which is optimal.

متن کاملInterval fractional integrodifferential equations without singular kernel by fixed point in partially ordered sets
This work is devoted to the study of global solution for initial value problem of interval fractional integrodifferential equations involving Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative without singular kernel admitting only the existence of a lower solution or an upper solution. Our method is based on fixed point in partially ordered sets. In this study, we guaranty the existence of special kind of ...

متن کاملCategorical properties of regular partially ordered pure monomorphisms
Let a family of monomorphisms in the category A To study mathematical notions in a category A, such as injectivity, tensor products, flatness, with respect to a class M of its (mono)morphisms, one should know some of the categorical properties of the pair (A ,M ). In this paper we take A to be thecategory Pos-S of S-partially ordered sets and to be a particular class o...
