Quantum pattern matching fast on average

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The d-dimensional pattern matching problem is to find an occurrence of a pattern of length mimesdotsimesm within a text of length nimesdotsimesn, with ngem. This task models various problems in text and image processing, among other application areas. This work describes a quantum algorithm which solves the pattern matching problem for random patterns and texts in time widetildeO((n/m)d/22O(d3/2sqrtlogm)). For large m this is super-polynomially faster than the best possible classical algorithm, which requires time widetildeOmega((n/m)d+nd/2). The algorithm is based on the use of a quantum subroutine for finding hidden shifts in d dimensions, which is a variant of algorithms proposed by Kuperberg.
