We study the quantum query complexity of finding a collision for a function f whose outputs are chosen according to a non-uniform distribution D. We derive some upper bounds and lower bounds depending on the min-entropy and the collision-entropy of D. In particular, we improve the previous lower bound by Ebrahimi Targhi et al. from \Omega(2^{k/9}) to \Omega(2^{k/5}) where k is the min-entropy of D.

We prove tight \Omega(n^{1/3}) lower bounds on the quantum query complexity of the Collision and the Set Equality problems, provided that the size of the alphabet is large enough. We do this using the negative-weight adversary method. Thus, we reprove the result by Aaronson and Shi, as well as a more recent development by Zhandry.

It has been proved that almost all n-bit Boolean functions have exact classical query complexity n. However, the situation seemed to be very different when we deal with exact quantum query complexity. In this paper, we prove that almost all n-bit Boolean functions can be computed by an exact quantum algorithm with less than n queries. More exactly, we prove that ANDn is the only n-bit Boolean function, up to isomorphism, that requires n queries.

I offer a case that quantum query complexity still has loads of enticing and fundamental open problems—from relativized QMA versus QCMA and BQP versus IP , to time/space tradeoffs for collision and element distinctness, to polynomial degree versus quantum query complexity for partial functions, to the Unitary Synthesis Problem and more.
