Shi's bound of $Ω((n/r)^{1/3})$ is tight, but his proof applies only in the case where the range has size at least $3n/2$. We give a modified version of Shi's argument which removes this restriction.6 pages Extension of work in quant-ph/0112086Quantum PhysicsA quantum lower bound for the collision problemtext
