Abstract

Classical Floyd-Warshall algorithm is used to solve all-pairs shortest path problem on a directed graph. The classical algorithm runs in \mathcal{O} (V^{3}) time where V represents the number of nodes. Here we have modified the algorithm and proposed a quantum algorithm analogous to Floyd-Warshall algorithm which exploits the superposition principle and runs in \mathcal{O} (Vlog_{2}V) time.
