The Index Erasure problem asks a quantum computer to prepare a uniform superposition over the image of an injective function given by an oracle. We prove a tight $Omega(sqrt{n})$ lower bound on the quantum query complexity of the non-coherent case of the problem, where, in addition to preparing the required superposition, the algorithm is allowed to leave the ancillary memory in an arbitrary function-dependent state. This resolves an open question of Ambainis, Magnin, Roetteler, and Roland (CCC 2011), who gave a tight bound for the coherent case, the case where the ancillary memory must return to its initial state. The proof is based on evaluating certain Krein parameters of a symmetric association scheme defined over partial permutations. The study of this association scheme may be of independent interest.

For even $k$, the matchings connectivity matrix $mathbf{M}_k$ encodes which pairs of perfect matchings on $k$ vertices form a single cycle. Cygan et al. (STOC 2013) showed that the rank of $mathbf{M}_k$ over $mathbb{Z}_2$ is $Theta(sqrt 2^k)$ and use
d this to give an $O^*((2+sqrt{2})^{mathsf{pw}})$ time algorithm for counting Hamiltonian cycles modulo $2$ on graphs of pathwidth $mathsf{pw}$. The same authors complemented their algorithm by an essentially tight lower bound under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH). This bound crucially relied on a large permutation submatrix within $mathbf{M}_k$, which enabled a pattern propagation commonly used in previous related lower bounds, as initiated by Lokshtanov et al. (SODA 2011). We present a new technique for a similar pattern propagation when only a black-box lower bound on the asymptotic rank of $mathbf{M}_k$ is given; no stronger structural insights such as the existence of large permutation submatrices in $mathbf{M}_k$ are needed. Given appropriate rank bounds, our technique yields lower bounds for counting Hamiltonian cycles (also modulo fixed primes $p$) parameterized by pathwidth. To apply this technique, we prove that the rank of $mathbf{M}_k$ over the rationals is $4^k / mathrm{poly}(k)$. We also show that the rank of $mathbf{M}_k$ over $mathbb{Z}_p$ is $Omega(1.97^k)$ for any prime $p eq 2$ and even $Omega(2.15^k)$ for some primes. As a consequence, we obtain that Hamiltonian cycles cannot be counted in time $O^*((6-epsilon)^{mathsf{pw}})$ for any $epsilon>0$ unless SETH fails. This bound is tight due to a $O^*(6^{mathsf{pw}})$ time algorithm by Bodlaender et al. (ICALP 2013). Under SETH, we also obtain that Hamiltonian cycles cannot be counted modulo primes $p eq 2$ in time $O^*(3.97^mathsf{pw})$, indicating that the modulus can affect the complexity in intricate ways.
We show that an improvement to the best known quantum lower bound for GRAPH-COLLISION problem implies an improvement to the best known lower bound for TRIANGLE problem in the quantum query complexity model. In GRAPH-COLLISION we are given free access
to a graph $(V,E)$ and access to a function $f:Vrightarrow {0,1}$ as a black box. We are asked to determine if there exist $(u,v) in E$, such that $f(u)=f(v)=1$. In TRIANGLE we have a black box access to an adjacency matrix of a graph and we have to determine if the graph contains a triangle. For both of these problems the known lower bounds are trivial ($Omega(sqrt{n})$ and $Omega(n)$, respectively) and there is no known matching upper bound.
We prove a quantum query lower bound Omega(n^{(d+1)/(d+2)}) for the problem of deciding whether an input string of size n contains a k-tuple which belongs to a fixed orthogonal array on k factors of strength d<=k-1 and index 1, provided that the alph
abet size is sufficiently large. Our lower bound is tight when d=k-1. The orthogonal array problem includes the following problems as special cases: k-sum problem with d=k-1, k-distinctness problem with d=1, k-pattern problem with d=0, (d-1)-degree problem with 1<=d<=k-1, unordered search with d=0 and k=1, and graph collision with d=0 and k=2.
We prove tight lower bounds for the following variant of the counting problem considered by Aaronson et al. The task is to distinguish whether an input set $xsubseteq [n]$ has size either $k$ or $k=(1+epsilon)k$. We assume the algorithm has access to
* the membership oracle, which, for each $iin [n]$, can answer whether $iin x$, or not; and * the uniform superposition $|psi_xrangle = sum_{iin x} |irangle/sqrt{|x|}$ over the elements of $x$. Moreover, we consider three different ways how the algorithm can access this state: ** the algorithm can have copies of the state $|psi_xrangle$; ** the algorithm can execute the reflecting oracle which reflects about the state $|psi_xrangle$; ** the algorithm can execute the state-generating oracle (or its inverse) which performs the transformation $|0ranglemapsto |psi_xrangle$. Without the second type of resources (related to $|psi_xrangle$), the problem is well-understood, see Brassard et al. The study of the problem with the second type of resources was recently initiated by Aaronson et al. We completely resolve the problem for all values of $1/k le epsilonle 1$, giving tight trade-offs between all types of resources available to the algorithm. Thus, we close the main open problems from Aaronson et al. The lower bounds are proven using variants of the adversary bound by Belovs and employing analysis closely related to the Johnson association scheme.
Given two strings $S$ and $P$, the Episode Matching problem is to compute the length of the shortest substring of $S$ that contains $P$ as a subsequence. The best known upper bound for this problem is $tilde O(nm)$ by Das et al. (1997), where $n,m$ a
re the lengths of $S$ and $P$, respectively. Although the problem is well studied and has many applications in data mining, this bound has never been improved. In this paper we show why this is the case by proving that an $O((nm)^{1-epsilon})$ algorithm (even for binary strings) would refute the popular Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH). The proof is based on a simple reduction from Orthogonal Vectors.
