Ω(n^(k/(k+1))) lower bound proven for fixed k in k-sum

Researchers provided elementary proofs of the Omega(n^(2/3)) quantum query lower bound for element distinctness and the Omega(n^(k/(k+1))) bound for the k-sum problem. The proofs rely only on basic properties of quantum states and linear algebra.

Field
how neural networks work
What they did
Researchers provided simple proofs showing that solving the element distinctness and k-sum problems requires a minimum number of quantum queries.
Why it matters
This allows for accurately estimating the minimum computational complexity of quantum algorithms for these problems using only basic properties of quantum states.
