We consider the use of arbitrary phases in quantum amplitude amplification which is a generalization of quantum searching. We prove that the phase condition in amplitude amplification is given by $\tan(\varphi/2) = \tan(\phi/2)(1-2a)$,…

We obtain area growth estimates for constant mean curvature graphs in $\mathbb{E}(\kappa,\tau)$-spaces with $\kappa\leq 0$, by finding sharp upper bounds for the volume of geodesic balls in $\mathbb{E}(\kappa,\tau)$. We focus on complete…
