Algorithm Steps
The steps of Grover's algorithm are given as follows. Let denote the uniform superposition over all states
- .
Then the operator
is known as the Grover diffusion operator.
Here is the algorithm:
- Initialize the system to the state
-
- Perform the following "Grover iteration" r(N) times. The function r(N), which is asymptotically O(N½), is described below.
- Apply the operator .
- Apply the operator .
- Perform the measurement Ω. The measurement result will be λω with probability approaching 1 for N≫1. From λω, ω may be obtained.

Famous quotes containing the word steps:
“Digressions, incontestably, are the sunshine;Mthey are the life, the soul of reading!take them out of this book, for instance,you might as well take the book along with them;Mone cold external winter would reign in every page of it; restore them to the writer;Mhe steps forth like a bridegroom,bids All-hail; brings in variety, and forbids the appetite to fail.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
