Abstract

For k functions f1,...,fk, a k-tuple (x1,...,xk) such that f1(x1) = ... = fk(xk) is called a claw of f1,...,fk. In this paper, we construct a new quantum claw-finding algorithm for three functions that is efficient when the number M of intermediate solutions is small. The known quantum claw-finding algorithm for three functions requires O(N7/8 log N) queries to find a claw, but our algorithm requires O(N3/4 log N) queries if M ≤ √N and O(N7/12M1/3 log N) queries otherwise. Thus, our algorithm is more efficient if M ≤ N7/8.
