Abstract
We consider the problem of determining the period of a sequence over an unknown finite field, given a black-box which returns only a few most significant bits of the sequence elements. For sequences with small autocorrelation we prove the existence of a polynomial time quantum algorithm for the above problem based on an algorithm of Hales and Hallgren.
