- We have a random oracle relative to which BPP and BQP are separated. This is an improvement over the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm separating P from EQP. The oracle needs to be quantum and nondecohering.
I think what this is saying is that given a quantum oracle (running in BQP time?), the classic algorithm can't solve the problem as efficiently as quantum algorithm. It's a stronger example of the power of QC than the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm. I don't quite understand the sentence either, but if you have another idea about how to capture this concept, it would be helpful. I don't know enough about quantum complexity to craft a sentence myself. Skippydo (talk) 14:43, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- The first sentence is vague, but a fairly common interpretation of it would be that there is a random oracle separation between BQP and BPP. This is not known to be true, and conjectured to be false. The second sentence is OK, so I didn't remove it -- although I'll try to reword it to make it clearer. The last one about the oracle being quantum and decohering makes very little sense to me. If it just means that the oracle has to allow the quantum computer to make queries in quantum superposition, then that's part of the definition of what it means to give BQP oracle access. --Robin (talk) 15:07, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
