Quantum walk search on a two-dimensional grid with extra edges
Abstract
Quantum walk has been successfully used to search for targets on graphs with vertices identified as the elements of a database. This spacial search on a two-dimensional periodic grid takes oracle consultations to find a target vertex from number of vertices with success probability, while reaching optimal speed of on dimensional square lattice. Our numerical analysis based on lackadaisical quantum walks searches vertices on a 2-dimensional grid with optimal speed of , provided the grid is attached with additional long range edges. Based on the numerical analysis performed with multiple sets of randomly generated targets for a wide range of and we suggest that the optimal time complexity of with constant success probability can be achieved for quantum search on a two-dimensional periodic grid with long-range edges.
