Lower Bounds for Quantum Communication Complexity
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove new lower bounds for bounded error quantum communication complexity. Our methods are based on the Fourier transform of the considered functions. First we generalize a method for proving classical communication complexity lower bounds developed by Raz [30] to the quantum case. Applying this method we give an exponential separation between bounded error quantum communication complexity and nondeterministic quantum communication complexity. We develop several other Fourier based lower bound methods, notably showing that

Quantum Multiparty Communication Complexity and Circuit Lower Bounds
We define a quantum model for multiparty communication complexity and prove a simulation theorem between the classical and quantum models. As a result, we show that if the quantum k-party communication complexity of a function f is Ω( n 2k ), then its classical k-party communication is Ω( n 2k/2 ). Finding such an f would allow us to prove strong classical lower bounds for k ≥ log n players and...
متن کاملNew bounds on the classical and quantum communication complexity of some graph properties
We study the communication complexity of a number of graph properties where the edges of the graph G are distributed between Alice and Bob (i.e., each receives some of the edges as input). Our main results are: An Ω(n) lower bound on the quantum communication complexity of deciding whether an nvertex graph G is connected, nearly matching the trivial classical upper bound of O(n logn) bits of co...
متن کاملRobust Bell Inequalities from Communication Complexity
The question of how large Bell inequality violations can be, for quantum distributions, has been the object of much work in the past several years. We say a Bell inequality is normalized if its absolute value does not exceed 1 for any classical (i.e. local) distribution. Upper and (almost) tight lower bounds have been given in terms of number of outputs of the distribution, number of inputs, an...
متن کاملOne-way communication complexity and the Neciporuk lower bound on formula size
In this paper the Nečiporuk method for proving lower bounds on the size of Boolean formulae is reformulated in terms of one-way communication complexity. We investigate the scenarios of probabilistic formulae, nondeterministic formulae, and quantum formulae. In all cases we can use results about one-way communication complexity to prove lower bounds on formula size. In the latter two cases we n...
متن کاملCommunication Complexity Lower Bounds by Polynomials
The quantum version of communication complexity allows Alice and Bob to communicate qubits and/or to make use of prior entanglement (shared EPR-pairs). Some lower bound techniques are available for qubit communication [17, 11, 2], but except for the inner product function [11], no bounds are known for the model with unlimited prior entanglement. We show that the “log rank” lower bound extends t...
