Oracle Separations for Quantum Statistical Zero-Knowledge
share
This paper investigates the power of quantum statistical zero knowledge interactive proof systems in the relativized setting. We prove the existence of an oracle relative to which quantum statistical zero-knowledge does not contain UP intersect coUP, and we prove that quantum statistical zero knowledge does not contain UP relative to a random oracle with probability 1. Our proofs of these statements rely on a bound on output state discrimination for relativized quantum circuits based on the quantum adversary method of Ambainis, following a technique similar to one used by Ben-David and Kothari to prove limitations on a query complexity variant of quantum statistical zero-knowledge.
