Quantum Search and Beyond
Lov K. Grover · 2008
Abstract : Ten years ago, the quantum search algorithm was designed to provide a way of searching a space of N items in only N steps. In the last ten years, it has been used as a building block for numerous applications, both physical and algorithmic -- these are as diverse as precision measurement and communication complexity. It has been generalized to the amplitude amplification principle in which form it can be used.
