We study the quantum summation (QS) algorithm of Brassard, Høyer, Mosca and Tapp, see [1], that approximates the arithmetic mean of a Boolean function defined on N elements. We improve error bounds presented in [1] in the worst-probabilistic setting, and present new error bounds in the average-probabilistic setting. In particular, in the worst-probabilistic setting, we prove that the error of t...
