Quantum query complexity measures the minimum number of queries a quantum algorithm needs to make to some input string to compute a function of that input. Query complexity models are widely used throughout quantum computing, from setting limits on quantum algorithms to analyzing post-quantum cryptography.

In recent research, the self-supervised video representation learning methods have achieved improvement by exploring video’s temporal properties, such as playing speeds and temporal order. These works inspire us to exploit a new artificial supervision signal for self-supervised representation learning: the change of video playing speed.
