Abstract

In the paper we consider measured-once (MO-QFA) one-way quantum finite automaton. We prove that for MO-QFA Q that (1=2+Ɛ)-accepts (Ɛ ∈ (0, 1=2)) regular language L it holds that dim(Q) = Ω (log dim(A)/log log dim(A)). In the case Ɛ ∈ (3/8,1/2) we have more precise lower bound dim(Q) = Ω(log dim(A)) where A is a minimal deterministic finite automaton accepting L, dim(Q), and dim(A) are complexity (number of states) of automata Q and A respectively, (1=2-Ɛ) is the error of Q. The example of language presented in [2] show that our lower bounds are tight enough.
