Abstract: Let X = (x 0 ; : : : ; xn\Gamma1 ) be a sequence of n numbers. For ffl ? 0, we say that x i is an ffl-approximate median if the number of elements strictly less than x i and the number of elements strictly greater than x i are each less than (1 + ffl) n 2 . We consider the quantum query complexity of computing an ffl-approximate median, given the sequence X as an oracle. We prove a lower bound of\Omega\Gamma/42 f 1 ffl ; ng) queries for any quantum algorithm that computes an... (Update)
