Spatial search algorithms on Hanoi networks
Franklin de Lima Marquezino, Renato Portugal, Stefan Boettcher · Physical Review A · 2013
We use the abstract search algorithm and its extension due to Tulsi to analyze a spatial quantum search algorithm that finds a marked vertex in Hanoi networks of degree 4 faster than classical algorithms. We also analyze the effect of using non-Groverian coins that take advantage of the small-world structure of the Hanoi networks. We obtain the scaling of the total cost of the algorithm as a function of the number of vertices. We show that Tulsi's technique plays an important role to speed up the searching algorithm. We can improve the algorithm's efficiency by choosing a non-Groverian coin if we do not implement Tulsi's method. Our conclusions are based on numerical implementations.
