Deleting a marked item from an unsorted database with a single query

Quantum Physics 2007-10-18 v1

Abstract

In this Letter we present a quantum deletion algorithm that deletes a marked state from an unsorted database of NN items with only a single query. This algorithm achieves exponential speedup compared with classical algorithm where O(N) number of query is required. General property of this deleting algorithm is also studied.
