Time evolution of Grover's algorithm with imperfections

Abstract
We study imperfection effects on time evolution of Grover's algorithm on quantum computer. We introduce an effective two-level model with dissipation and stochasty, which is based upon the idea that ideal Grover's algorithm operates in 2 dimensional Hilbert space. The simulation results of both are compared and it is found that they are in good agreement for appropriately tuned parameters. It turns out that the main features of Grover's algorithm with imperfections can be understood in terms of two basic mechanisms, i.e., a diffusion of probability density into full Hilbert space and a stochastic rotation within the original 2 dimensional Hilbert space.
