• Abstract: This paper studies the quantum computational complexity of the discrete logarithm (DL) and related group-theoretic problems in the context of generic algorithms -- that is, algorithms that do not exploit any properties of the group encoding. We establish a generic model of quantum computation for group-theoretic problems, which we call the quantum generic group model. Shor's algorithm for the DL problem and related algorithms can be described in this model. We show the quantum complexity lower bounds and almost matching algorithms of the DL and related problems in this model. More precisely, we prove the following results for a cyclic group $G$ of prime order. - Any generic quantum DL algorithm must make $\Omega(\log |G|)$ depth of group operations. This shows that Shor's algorithm is asymptotically optimal among the generic quantum algorithms, even considering parallel algorithms. - We observe that variations of Shor's algorithm can take advantage of classical computations to reduce the number of quantum group operations. We introduce a model for generic hybrid quantum-classical algorithms and show that these algorithms are almost optimal in this model. Any generic hybrid algorithm for the DL problem with a total number of group operations $Q$ must make $\Omega(\log |G|/\log Q)$ quantum group operations of depth $\Omega(\log\log |G| - \log\log Q)$. - When the quantum memory can only store $t$ group elements and use quantum random access memory of $r$ group elements, any generic hybrid algorithm must make either $\Omega(\sqrt{|G|})$ group operations in total or $\Omega(\log |G|/\log (tr))$ quantum group operations. As a side contribution, we show a multiple DL problem admits a better algorithm than solving each instance one by one, refuting a strong form of the quantum annoying property suggested in the context of password-authenticated key exchange protocol.

  We give a quantum algorithm for solving the Bounded Distance Decoding (BDD) problem with a subexponential approximation factor on a class of integer lattices. The running time of the quantum algorithm is for one range of approximation factors and subexponential time for a second range of approximation factors. This view makes for a clean quantum algorithm in terms of finite abelian groups, uses relatively little from lattice theory, and suggests exploring approximation algorithms for lattice problems in parameters other than dimension alone.
