Grover's algorithm en · PROPN

Etymology

Named after Indian-American computer scientist Lov Grover, who devised the algorithm in 1996.

Meanings

  1. A quantum algorithm that finds with high probability the unique input to a black-box function that produces a particular output value.
    • 2018, Joseph F. Fitzsimons, Eleanor G. Rieffel, Valerio Scarani, 11: Quantum Frontier, Justyna Zander, Pieter J. Mosterman (editors), Computation for Humanity, Taylor & Francis (CRC Press), page 286, The best possible classical algorithm uses O(N) time. This speed up is only polynomial, but, unlike for Shor's algorithm, it has been proven that Grover's algorithm outperforms any possible classical approach.
    • |Q_A⟩=Gʳ|Ψ(0)⟩≈ sin ((2r+1)ϕ)1/√∑_( mathit )solutions|y⟩ (3.59) where the probability of finding a nonsolution is presumed to be small and has been neglected in the equation. 2022 [2008 Morgan & Claypool], Marco Lanzagorta, Jeffrey Uhlmann, Quantum Computer Science, Springer Nature, page 49, However, we cannot output the entire solution dataset using a single application of Grover's algorithm. Indeed, the superposition of states for the last iteration of Grover's algorithm, with known k, looks like

(editors), General Theory of Information Transfer and Combinatorics, Springer, LNCS 4123, page 452, Thus, Grover's algorithm has optimal order of complexity. Here, we present an information-theoretic analysis of Grover's algorithm and show that the square-root speed-up by Grover's algorithm is the best possible by any algorithm using the same quantum oracle.
