Tight bounds on quantum searching

…, G Brassard, P Høyer, A Tapp - Fortschritte der Physik …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
We provide a tight analysis of Grover's algorithm for quantum database searching. We give
a simple closed‐form formula for the probability of success after any given number of …

Quantum cryptanalysis of hash and claw-free functions

G Brassard, P Høyer, A Tapp - … Symposium Campinas, Brazil, April 20–24 …, 1998 - Springer
We give a quantum algorithm that finds collisions in arbitrary r-to-one functions after only O(3√N/r)
expected evaluations of the function, where N is the cardinality of the domain. …

Quantum pseudo-telepathy

G Brassard, A Broadbent, A Tapp - Foundations of Physics, 2005 - Springer
Quantum information processing is at the crossroads of physics, mathematics and computer
science. It is concerned with what we can and cannot do with quantum information that goes …

Quantum amplitude amplification and estimation

…, P Hoyer, M Mosca, A Tapp - Contemporary …, 2002 - books.google.com
Consider a Boolean function x: X→{0, 1} that partitions set X between its good and bad
elements, where a is good if x (a)= 1 and bad other-wise. Consider also a quantum algorithm A …

Quantum counting

G Brassard, P Høyer, A Tapp - … , ICALP'98 Aalborg, Denmark, July 13–17 …, 1998 - Springer
We study some extensions of Grover's quantum searching algorithm. First, we generalize the
Grover iteration in the light of a concept called amplitude amplification. Then, we show that …

Limit on nonlocality in any world in which communication complexity is not trivial

…, H Buhrman, N Linden, AA Méthot, A Tapp… - Physical Review Letters, 2006 - APS
Bell proved that quantum entanglement enables two spacelike separated parties to exhibit
classically impossible correlations. Even though these correlations are stronger than anything …

Authentication of quantum messages

…, D Gottesman, A Smith, A Tapp - The 43rd Annual …, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Authentication is a well-studied area of classical cryptography: a sender A and a receiver B
sharing a classical secret key want to exchange a classical message with the guarantee that …

Cost of exactly simulating quantum entanglement with classical communication

G Brassard, R Cleve, A Tapp - Physical Review Letters, 1999 - APS
We investigate the amount of communication that must augment classical local hidden variable
models in order to simulate the behavior of entangled quantum systems. We consider the …

Private quantum channels

A Ambainis, M Mosca, A Tapp… - … 41st Annual Symposium …, 2000 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We investigate how a classical private key can be used by two players, connected by an
insecure one-way quantum channel, to perform private communication of quantum information. …

The impossibility of pseudotelepathy without quantum entanglement

V Galliard, A Tapp, S Wolf - IEEE International Symposium on …, 2003 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In a pseudotelepathy game, communication can be entirely replaced by quantum entanglement.
We provide, for the first proposed arid simplest two-player game of this type, the proof …
