Abstract
Motivated by the quantum algorithm for testing commutativity of black-box groups (Magniez and Nayak, 2007), we study the following problem: Given a black-box finite ring by an additive generating set and a multilinear polynomial over that ring, also accessed as a black-box function (we allow the indeterminates of the polynomial to be commuting or noncommuting), we study the problem of testing if the polynomial is an \emph{identity} for the given ring. We give a quantum algorithm with query complexity sub-linear in the number of generators for the ring, when the number of indeterminates of the input polynomial is small (ideally a constant). Towards a lower bound, we also show a reduction from a version of the collision problem (which is well studied in quantum computation) to a variant of this problem.
