Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We review Grover's algorithm by means of a detailed geometrical interpretation and a worked out example. Some basic concepts of Quantum Mechanics and quantum circuits are also reviewed. This work is intended for non-specialists which have basic knowledge on undergraduate Linear Algebra.
