    Graduate Grover's Algorithm: is it really a search algorithm

    Hello, me again. I'm still incrediably confused regarding this algorithm. I just cannot see how this algorithm gives the actual location in an unsorted list of a desired state. I can increase the amplitude of the desired state starting from the uniform distribution easily enough and collapse it...

    Graduate Grover's Algorithm: is it really a search algorithm

    Intriguing, thank you. Edit: Great blog by the way (The Raven is coincidentally my favourite poem).

    Graduate Grover's Algorithm: is it really a search algorithm

    Wow thanks. But regarding your final comment rrtucci; how does it collapse down to the target state with absolute certainty? I thought your could only get closer and closer to a probability of 1 as you increase the number of qubits used in the system?

    Graduate Grover's Algorithm: is it really a search algorithm

    I too am having a problem understanding the use of this algorithm (sorry for necro-posting). My problem is that I'm trying to construct an emulation of Grover's search within Matlab. However, by following the mathematical operations discussed in Grover's paper and from other sources I can...
