Random Garbage Separates XOR from Forward-Only Queries

We give exponential quantum query separations between the standard XOR interface and two forward-only interfaces that supply neither an adjoint nor an inverse oracle. Let $X=\F_2^n$, $N=|X|$, and $f_{h,r}(x)=(h(x),x,r_x)$, where $h:X\to X$ is promised to be either a permutation or a Simon two-to-one function, and $r$ i...
