How many functions can be distinguished with k quantum queries?

Abstract

Suppose an oracle is known to hold one of a given set of D two-valued functions. To successfully identify which function the oracle holds with k classical queries, it must be the case that D is at most 2k. In this paper we derive a bound for how many functions can be distinguished with k quantum queries.
