In this paper, we provide a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of $c$-coloring $chi$-chromatic graphs using distributed algorithms in various models of distributed computing. We demonstrate that these problems do not offer any distributed quantum advantage. Firstly, we present a new distributed algorithm that can identify a $c$-coloring in $chi$-chromatic graphs in approximately $tilde{mathcal{O}}(n^{frac{1}{alpha}})$ rounds. […]
