QUANTUM COMPUTING, GROVER'S SEARCH ALGORITHM AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN BIOINFORMATICS
Keng Wah Choo · COSMOS · 2006
This article reviews quantum computing and quantum algorithms. Some insights into its potential in speeding up computations are covered, with emphasis on the use of Grover's Search. In the last section, we discuss applications of quantum algorithm to bioinformatics. In particular, the extension of quantum counting algorithm to protein mass spectra counting is proposed.
