We present a bounded-error quantum algorithm for evaluating Min - Max trees with $N^{\frac{1}{2}+o(1)}$ queries, where N is the size of the tree and where the allowable queries are comparisons of the form [x j k ]. This is close to tight, since there is a known quantum lower bound of $\Omega(N^{\frac{1}{2}})$.

A fast quantum mechanical algorithm for database search
