摘要

While it is known that there is at most a polynomial separationbetween quantum query complexity and the polynomial degree fortotal functions, the precise relationship between the two is not clear forpartial functions. In this paper, we demonstrate an exponential separationbetween exact polynomial degree and approximate quantum querycomplexity for a partial Boolean function. For an unbounded alphabetsize, we have a constant versus polynomial separation.
