We introduce a new model for studying quantum data structure problems -- the quantum cell probe model. We prove a lower bound for the static predecessor problem in the address-only version of this model where, essentially, we allow quantum parallelism only over the 'address lines' of the queries. This model subsumes the classical cell probe model, and many quantum query algorithms like Grover's algorithm fall into this framework. We prove our lower bound by obtaining a round elimination lemma…

This survey summarizes several results about quantum computing related to (mostly static) data structures and gives proofs for lower bounds in this setting that show that the classical data structures from the first section are, in some sense, asymptotically optimal - even in the quantum model.

This work uses a quantum argument to prove that LDCs with 2 classical queries need exponential length: m=2Ω(n), and shows that a 2-query LDC can be decoded with only 1 quantum query, and proves an exponential lower bound for such 1-query locally quantum-decodable codes.

It is shown that the first message of P can be compressed to 0(k) classical bits using prior entanglement if it carries at most k bits of information about the sender's input, which implies a general direct sum result for one-round and simultaneous quantum protocols.

In early 1994, it was demonstrated that a quantum mechanical computer could efficiently solve a well-known problem for which there was no known efficient algorithm using classical computers, i.e. testing whether or not a given integer, N, is prime, in a time which is a finite power of o (logN) .
