Title:
On Finding Quantum Multi-collisions

Authors: Qipeng Liu, Mark Zhandry

Abstract:

A k-collision for a compressing hash function H is a set of k distinct inputs that all map to the same output. In this work, we show that for any constant k, \Theta\left(N^{\frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{1}{2^k-1})}\right) quantum queries are both necessary and sufficient to achieve a k-collision with constant probability. This improves on both the best prior upper bound (Hosoyamada et al., ASIACRYPT 2017) and provides the first non-trivial lower bound, completely resolving the problem.
