We present a quantum algorithm for solving the hidden subgroup problem in the general linear group over a finite field where the hidden subgroup is promised to be a conjugate of the group of the invertible lower triangular matrices. The…
Grover's algorithm is a well-known unstructured quantum search algorithm run on quantum computers. It constructs an oracle and calls the oracle O($\sqrt N$) times to locate specific data out of N unsorted data. This represents a quadratic…
