Optimal Direct Sum and Privacy Trade-off Results for Quantum and Classical Communication Complexity (2008)

Jain, Rahul, Sen, Pranab, Radhakrishnan, Jaikumar

We show optimal Direct Sum result for the one-way entanglement-assisted quantum communication complexity for any relation f subset of X x Y x Z. We show: Q^{1,pub}(f^m) = Omega(m Q^{1,pub}(f)), where...

We consider the problem of computing the second elementary symmetric polynomial S^2_n(X) using depth-three arithmetic circuits of the form "sum of products of linear forms". We consider this problem...

Invertible Quantum Operations and Perfect Encryption of Quantum States (2006)

Nayak, Ashwin, Sen, Pranab

In this note, we characterize the form of an invertible quantum operation, i.e., a completely positive trace preserving linear transformation (a CPTP map) whose inverse is also a CPTP map. The...

Sen, Pranab

We show that measuring any two quantum states by a random POVM, under a suitable definition of randomness, gives probability distributions having total variation distance at least a universal...

Limitations of Quantum Coset States for Graph Isomorphism (2005)

Hallgren, Sean, Roetteler, Martin, Sen, Pranab

It has been known for some time that graph isomorphism reduces to the hidden subgroup problem (HSP). What is more, most exponential speedups in quantum computation are obtained by solving instances...

A note on the power of quantum fingerprinting (2005)

Jain, Rahul, Radhakrishnan, Jaikumar, Sen, Pranab

In this article we study relationship between three measures of distinguishability of quantum states called as divergence, relative entropy and the substate property.

Radhakrishnan, Jaikumar, Roetteler, Martin, Sen, Pranab

The hidden subgroup problem (HSP) provides a unified framework to study problems of group-theoretical nature in quantum computing such as order finding and the discrete logarithm problem. While it is...

Lower bounds for predecessor searching in the cell probe model (2003)

Sen, Pranab, Venkatesh, S.

We consider a fundamental problem in data structures, static predecessor searching: Given a subset S of size n from the universe [m], store S so that queries of the form "What is the predecessor of x...

A direct sum theorem in communication complexity via message compression (2003)

Jain, Rahul, Radhakrishnan, Jaikumar, Sen, Pranab

A lower bound for bounded round quantum communication complexity of set disjointness (2003)

Jain, Rahul, Radhakrishnan, Jaikumar, Sen, Pranab

We consider the class of functions whose value depends only on the intersection of the input X_1,X_2, ..., X_t; that is, for each F in this class there is an f_F: 2^{[n]} \to {0,1}, such that...

Quantum testers for hidden group properties (2002)

The Quantum Complexity of Set Membership (2000)

Radhakrishnan, Jaikumar, Sen, Pranab, Venkatesh, S.

We study the quantum complexity of the static set membership problem: given a subset S (|S| \leq n) of a universe of size m (m \gg n), store it as a table of bits so that queries of the form `Is x...
