Quantum Computing Beyond Integer Factorization--Exploring the Potential of Quantum Search
Seiichiro Tani · NTT technical review · 2014
Quantum computers are novel computing devices that make effective use of quantum-mechanical phenomena, and they are expected to emerge within the next few decades.Extensive studies on them have revealed that they will be able to solve many problems significantly faster than current computers or their possible extensions.This article briefly outlines the theory and applications of quantum search to show the potential wide applicability of quantum computing.
