Abstract
In STOC 1999, Raz presented a (partial) function for which there is a quantum protocol communicating only O(log n) qubits, but for which any classical (randomized, bounded-error) protocol requires poly(n) bits of communication. That quantum protocol requires two rounds of communication. Ever since Raz's paper it was open whether the same exponential separation can be achieved with a quantum protocol that uses only one round of communication. Here we settle this question in the affirmative.
TL;DRThe question whether the same exponential separation can be achieved with a quantum protocol that uses only one round of communication is settled in the affirmative. (Semantic Scholar)
