C. Grover’s Search Algorithm

In this subsection we review Grover’s quantum algorithm for unstructured search and results we use in our analysis. Grover’s search solves the following problem in the oracle setting.

\

\

\ The function named measure(A) performs a measurement of A in the computational basis and returns the result. An important variant of Grover’s search has been developed for the case in which M is unknown [6]. This algorithm preserves the quadratic speedup over classical algorithms. For a nice geometric description of Grover’s algorithm we direct the reader to [19].
