Abstract: We investigate the branching program complexity of quantum hashing. We consider a quantum hash function that maps elements of a finite field into quantum states. We require that this function is preimage-resistant and collision-resistant.We consider two complexity measures for Quantum Branching Programs (QBP): a number of qubits and a number of compu-tational steps. We show that the quantum hash function can be computed efficiently. Moreover, we prove that such QBP construction is optimal. That is, we prove lower bounds that match the constructed quantum hash function computation.
