New upper and lower bounds for randomized and quantum local search
Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to combinatorial optimization, complexi...

Lower Bounds for Randomized k-Server and Motion Planning Algorithms
In this paper, we prove lower bounds on the competitive ratio of randomized algorithms for two on-line problems: the k-server problem, suggested by [MMS], and an on-line motion-pl...

Quantum Lower Bound for Recursive Fourier Sampling
One of the earliest quantum algorithms was discovered by Bernstein and Vazirani, for a problem called Recursive Fourier Sampling. This paper shows that the Bernstein-Vazirani algo...

Lower Bounds for Quantum Search and Derandomization
We prove lower bounds on the error probability of a quantum algorithm for searching through an unordered list of N items, as a function of the number T of queries it makes. In par...

Evolving blackbox quantum algorithms using genetic programming
Although it is known that quantum computers can solve certain computational problems exponentially faster than classical computers, only a small number of quantum algorithms have ...
