Quantum property testing
A language L has a property tester if there exists a probabilistic algorithm that given an input x queries only a small number of bits of x and distinguishes the cases as to whether x is in L and x has large Hamming distance from all y in L. We de. ne a similar notion of quantum property testing and show that there exist languages with good quantum property testers but no good classical testers. We also show there exist languages which require a large number of queries even for quantumly testing.
