Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Given an array a[1..n], the Range Minimum Query (RMQ) problem is to maintain a data structure that supports RMQ queries: given a range [l, r], find the index of the minimum element among a[l..r], i.e., arg min(i is an element of[l,r]) a[i]. In this paper, we propose a quantum data structure that supports RMQ queries and range updates, with an optimal time complexity (Theta) over tilde(root nq) for performing q = O(n) operations without preprocessing, compared to the classical (Theta) over tilde (n + q).(1) As an application, we obtain a time-efficient quantum algorithm for k-minimum finding without the use of quantum random access memory.
