This report gives a lower bound of entanglement cost for antisymmetric states of bipartite d-level systems to be log_2 (d/(d-1)) ebit (for d=3, E_c >= 0.585...). The paper quant-ph/0112131 claims that the value is equal to one ebit for d=3, since all of the eigenvalues of reduced matrix of any pure states living in N times tensor product of antisymmetric space is not greater than 2^(-N) thus the von Neumann entropy is not less than N, but the proof is not true. Hence whether the value is equal to or less than one ebit is not clear at this moment.
We prove lower bounds on the worst-case error of numerical integration in tensor product spaces. The information complexity is the minimal number N of function evaluations that is necessary such that the N -th minimal error is less than a factor ε times the initial error, i.e., the error for N = 0 , where ε belongs to ( 0 , 1 ) . We are interested to which extent the information complexity depends on the number d of variables of the integrands. If the information complexity grows exponentially fast in d , then the integration problem is said to suffer from the curse of dimensionality. Under the assumption of the existence of a worst-case function for the uni-variate problem, we present two methods for providing lower bounds on the information complexity. The first method is based on a suitable decomposition of the worst-case function and can be seen as a generalization of the method of decomposable reproducing kernels. The second method, although only applicable for positive quadrature rules, does not require a suitable decomposition of the worst-case function. Rather, it is based on a spline approximation of the worst-case function and can be used for analytic functions. Several applications of both methods are presented.
We determine the quantum query complexity of oracle identification on the hyperoctahedral group
BN={±1}N⋊SN with respect to the natural representation:
QLV(BN)=2(N−1) for all
N≥2. This is twice the symmetric-group value
QLV(SN)=N−1; the doubling arises from an
ε-parity obstruction that restricts the bottleneck representation
sgn(σ) to even tensor powers. The proof combines a reduction to
SN Kronecker products via Rademacher moment polynomials with the bipartition distance formula
dT(((N),∅),(α,β))=2(N−α1)−∣β∣ in the tensor product graph. A closed-form generating function yields the first-appearance multiplicity
(2N−3)!!. We also show
Qdecomp(φ)≤2Qsigned(φ), with equality on
B2, and conjecture a link between the adversary bound and the graph eccentricity.
