A time-efficient output-sensitive quantum algorithm for Boolean matrix multiplication

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper presents a quantum algorithm that computes the product of two nimesn Boolean matrices in ildeO(nsqrtell+ellsqrtn) time, where ell is the number of non-zero entries in the product. This improves the previous output-sensitive quantum algorithms for Boolean matrix multiplication in the time complexity setting by Buhrman and v{S}palek (SODA'06) and Le Gall (SODA'12). We also show that our approach cannot be further improved unless a breakthrough is made: we prove that any significant improvement would imply the existence of an algorithm based on quantum search that multiplies two nimesn Boolean matrices in O(n5/2−varepsilon) time, for some constant varepsilon>0.
