An intrinsic limitation on the size of quantum database

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is found that Grover's quantum search algorithm is not robust against phase inversion and Hadmard transformation inaccuracies. Imperfect phase inversions and Hadmard-Walsh transformations in Grover's quantum search algorithm lead to reductions in the maximum probability of the marked state and affect the efficiency of the algorithm. even in the absence of decoherence. Given the degrees of inaccuracies, we find that to guarantee half rate of success, the size of the database should be in the order of O(1δ2)O({1 \over \delta^2}), where δ\delta is the uncertainty.
