We show that any quantum algorithm searching an ordered list of n elements needs to examine at least 1/12 log n-O(1) of them. Classically, log n queries are both necessary and sufficient. This shows that quantum algorithms can achieve only…
Quantum Search Algorithm made a big impact by being able to solve the search problem for a set with $N$ elements using only $O(\sqrt{N})$ steps. Unfortunately, it is impossible to reduce the order of the complexity of this problem, however,…

Grover's database search algorithm is the optimal algorithm for finding a desired object from an unsorted collection of items. Although it was discovered in the context of quantum computation, it is simple and versatile enough to be…
Quantum algorithms can be analyzed in a query model to compute Boolean functions where input is given in a black box, but the aim is to compute function value for arbitrary input using as few queries as possible. In this paper we…
We consider the quantum complexities of the following three problems: searching an ordered list, sorting an un-ordered list, and deciding whether the numbers in a list are all distinct. Letting N be the number of elements in the input list,…
We want to find a marked element out of a black box containing N elements. When the number of marked elements is known this can be done elegantly with Grover's algorithm, a variant of which even gives a correct result with certainty. On the…
In this summary we discuss two new algorithms for Grover's unsorted database search problem that claimed to have reached exponential speedup over Grover's original algorithm. One is in the quantum setting with "power queries" that allow for…

This paper presents an enhancement to Grover's search algorithm for instances where the number of items (or the size of the search problem) $N$ is not a power of 2. By employing an efficient algorithm for the preparation of uniform quantum…
In computer science, many search problems are reducible to decision problems, which implies that finding a solution is as hard as deciding whether a solution exists. A quantum analogue of search-to-decision reductions would be to ask…
While powerful tools have been developed to analyze quantum query complexity, there are still many natural problems that do not fit neatly into the black box model of oracles. We create a new model that allows multiple oracles with…
