Grover's quantum search algorithm provides a way to speed up combinatorial search, but is not directly applicable to searching a physical database. Nevertheless, Aaronson and Ambainis showed that a database of N items laid out in d spatial…
This paper explores Quantum Search on the two dimensional spatial grid. Recent exploration into the topic has devised a solution that runs in O(sqrt(n*ln(n))). This paper explores a new algorithm that gives promise for the O(sqrt(n)) result…
Let G=(V,E) be a finite graph, and f:V->N be any function. The Local Search problem consists in finding a local minimum of the function f on G, that is a vertex v such that f(v) is not larger than the value of f on the neighbors of v in G.…
$ $In its usual form, Grover's quantum search algorithm uses $O(\sqrt{N})$ queries and $O(\sqrt{N} \log N)$ other elementary gates to find a solution in an $N$-bit database. Grover in 2002 showed how to reduce the number of other gates to…
L. K. Grover's search algorithm in quantum computing gives an optimal, quadratic speedup in the search for a single object in a large unsorted database. In this paper, we generalize Grover's algorithm in a Hilbert-space framework for both…
Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to combinatorial optimization, complexity theory and many other areas in theoretical computer…
We show that the quantum query complexity of detecting if an $n$-vertex graph contains a triangle is $O(n^{9/7})$. This improves the previous best algorithm of Belovs making $O(n^{35/27})$ queries. For the problem of determining if an…
We present a continuous time quantum search algorithm analogous to Grover's. In particular, the optimal search time for this algorithm is proportional to $\sqrt{N}$, where $N$ is the database size. This search algorithm can be implemented…
The Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to many areas in computer science and natural sciences. In this paper, we show that for the…
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 $\mathcal{O}\left(\sqrt{N\log N}\right)$ oracle…
Spatial search on graphs is one of the most important algorithmic applications of quantum walks. To show that a quantum-walk-based search is more efficient than a random-walk-based search is a difficult problem, which has been addressed in…
L. K. Grover's search algorithm in quantum computing gives an optimal, square-root speedup in the search for a single object in a large unsorted database. In this paper, we expound Grover's algorithm in a Hilbert-space framework that…
This paper addresses the problem of finding the densest $k$-vertex subgraph in an arbitrary graph. This problem is NP-hard and has important applications in social network analysis, fraud detection, recommendation systems, and…
We investigate a set of discrete-time quantum search algorithms on the n-dimensional hypercube following a proposal by Shenvi, Kempe and Whaley. We show that there exists a whole class of quantum search algorithms in the symmetry reduced…
Quantum searching for one of $N$ marked items in an unsorted database of $n$ items is solved in $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{n/N})$ steps using Grover's algorithm. Using nonlinear quantum dynamics with a Gross-Pitaevskii type quadratic nonlinearity,…
Quantum computation, in particular Grover's algorithm, has aroused a great deal of interest since it allows for a quadratic speedup to be obtained in search procedures. Classical search procedures for an $N$ element database require at most…
We recast Grover's generalised search algorithm in a geometric language even when the states are not approximately orthogonal. We provide a possible search algorithm based on an arbitrary unitary transformation which can speed up the steps…
We consider the quantum query complexity of local search as a function of graph geometry. Given a graph $G = (V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and black box access to a function $f : V \to \mathbb{R}$, the goal is find a vertex $v$ that is a local…
I improve the tight bound on quantum searching by Boyer et al. (quant-ph/9605034) to a matching bound, thus showing that for any probability of success Grovers quantum searching algorithm is optimal. E.g. for near certain success we have to…
We show how to search N items arranged on a $\sqrt{N}\times\sqrt{N}$ grid in time $O(\sqrt N \log N)$, using a discrete time quantum walk. This result for the first time exhibits a significant difference between discrete time and continuous…
