Abstract

We completely (that is, up to a logarithmic factor) characterize the bounded-error quantum communication complexity of every predicate depending only on (). Namely, for a predicate on let $\ell_0(D)\df \max\{\ell : 1\leq\ell\leq n/2\land D(\ell)\not\equiv D(\ell-1)\}$ and $\ell_1(D)\df \max\{n-\ell : n/2\leq\ell < n\land D(\ell)\not\equiv D(\ell+1)\}$. Then the bounded-error quantum communication complexity of is equal (again, up to a logarithmic factor) to . In particular, the complexity of the set disjointness predicate is . This result holds both in the model with prior entanglement and without it.
