Everything about Grover's algorithm

Quantum search algorithm

In quantum computing, Grover's algorithm, also known as the quantum search algorithm, is a quantum algorithm for unstructured search that finds with high probability the unique input to a black box function that produces a particular output value, using just evaluations of the function, where is the size of the function's domain. It was devised by an Indian-American computer scientist Lov Grover in 1996. Wikipedia →
