dc.descriptionWe investigate the power of interaction in two player quantum communication protocols. Our main result is a rounds-communication hierarchy for the pointer jumping function $f_k$. We show that $f_k$ needs quantum communication $Ω(n)$ if Bob starts the communication and the number of rounds is limited to $k$ (for any constant $k$). Trivially, if Alice starts, $O(k\log n)$ communication in $k$ rounds suffices. The lower bound employs a result relating the relative von Neumann entropy between density matrices to their trace distance and uses a new measure of information. We also describe a classical probabilistic $k$ round protocol with communication $O(n/k\cdot(\log^{(k/2)}n+\log k)+k\log n)$ in which Bob starts the communication. Furthermore as a consequence of the lower bound for pointer jumping we show that any $k$ round quantum protocol for the disjointness problem needs communication $Ω(n^{1/k})$ for $k=O(1)$.
