Hidden shift problems are relevant to assess the quantum security of various cryptographic constructs. Multiple quantum subexponential time algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, we propose some improvements on a polynomial quantum memory algorithm proposed by Childs, Jao and Soukharev in 2010. We use subset-sum algorithms to significantly reduce its complexity. We also propose new tradeoffs between quantum queries, classical time and classical memory to solve this problem.
