Abstract

Communication complexity of XOR functions f(x \oplus y) has recently drawn an increasing amount of attention. In this talk, I will discuss some recent progress on this interesting class of functions, including settling communication complexity of all symmetric XOR functions in one-way and SMP model, proving Log-rank conjecture for low-degree polynomials f, and showing tightness of a quantum lower bound in the two-way model.

We focus on two particular models of closed time like curves.

The first is Deutsch's 1991 mixed-state-fixed-point model which
abolishes the grandfather paradox. The second is due to Bennett and
Schumacher, in which the grandfather paradox on certain initial states
is exploited as a putative physical mechanism for post-selection.
