Implementation of Grover’s Quantum Search Algorithm using Rigetti Forest

Anthony Anthony, Arya Wicaksana

Published Nov 22, 2019• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

Grover’s quantum search algorithm allows quadratic speedup in unsorted search problem by utilizing amplitude amplification trick in quantum computing. In this paper, an approach to implement Grover’s quantum search algorithm is proposed. The implementation is done using Rigetti Forest and Python. The testing and evaluation processes are carried on in two computers with different hardware specifications to derive more information from the result. The results are measured in user time and compared with implementation from Quantum Computing Playground. The user time of this implementation for 10 qubits and 1024 data is slower compared to Quantum Computing Playground’s implementation. The proposed implementation can be improved by calculating the probability of Grover’s quantum search algorithm in finding the appropriate search result.

Modification of the quantum grover algorithm by using the inversion method around the middle

Larissa V. Cherckesova, Olga Alexandrovna Safaryan, Irina A. Pilipenko +3 more

Abstract The article proposes a modification of Grover’s quantum oracle quantum search algorithm, which makes it easier to search the database. The algorithm is implemented in the Python programming language using the Reggeti Forest cloud quantum service. The authors of the article use the mean flipping method, which solves the search problem during the iterative order √ (2 ^ n). Development offers great potential for the practical application of the Grover quantum algorithm, as it is characterized by higher performance and speed when performing research. Theoretically, the algorithm provides quadratic acceleration compared to conventional computers. It is not an exponential acceleration, but it remains important for large data carriers. The quantum parallelism of the Grover search algorithm is based on a simultaneous change in the amplitudes of all the inputs. This is done through a superposition of states, which is a purely quantum concept. In addition, the research is carried out globally, which indicates a significant improvement in optimization procedures. Grover’s algorithm, on the other hand, is sensitive to the number of iterations. The more iterations, the smaller the amplitude of the correct answer, so the wrong choice of this parameter can digest the solution. In addition, the operation of the algorithm is limited in the case of the introduction of noise into a quantum system, which is real in modern quantum computers.

Implementation of Efficient Quantum Computing Algorithm for Searching

Nirhali Atharva, Malwade Rohit, P. Akshay +2 more

The K-SAT problem is a fundamental challenge in computational theory, widely used in artificial intelligence, cryptography, and optimization. Classical algorithms struggle with exponential time complexity, making them inefficient for large-scale instances. In this research, we propose an efficient quantum computing approach based on Grover’s algorithm to enhance the search process for satisfiable solutions in K-SAT problems. Our implementation leverages quantum superposition and amplitude amplification to explore multiple possible solutions simultaneously, reducing the search complexity from O (2ⁿ) in classical methods to O(√2ⁿ) in quantum computing. We design a quantum oracle that encodes the K-SAT clauses and integrates it into Grover’s iterative search framework. The performance is evaluated through Qiskit simulations, demonstrating a significant improvement in search efficiency compared to classical brute-force techniques. The results highlight the potential of quantum algorithms in solving complex combinatorial problems with enhanced speed and accuracy. This study contributes to the development of quantum-accelerated optimization methods, paving the way for real-world applications in machine learning, cryptanalysis, and large-scale data processing.

Implementation of Grover’s Iterator for Quantum Searching With an Arbitrary Number of Qubits

Sihyung Lee, Seung Yeob Nam

Grover’s algorithm harnesses the power of quantum computing to swiftly locate specific elements in an unstructured database, outperforming classical computers in tasks like database searching. This algorithm capitalizes on the unique ability of qubits to be in both 0 and 1 states simultaneously (superposition), allowing it to scan the entire search space at once. It then boosts the probability of the target element, making it more prominent. While the foundational concepts of Grover’s algorithm are well-documented, practical implementation using quantum operators, especially for large search spaces, remains less explored beyond basic examples with a small number of qubits. Existing general synthesis techniques often involve numerous operators or are time-consuming. Our proposed methods specifically address the amplitude-amplification component of Grover’s algorithm for any size of search space. These methods detail the required types and quantities of qubits and operators, emphasizing minimal usage and efficient assembly. Developed and evaluated in Python, our methods consistently identified target elements with over 95% accuracy and achieved configurations comparably compact as those in the existing literature but at a faster pace. We anticipate that these methods facilitate practical implementations of Grover’s algorithm across various domains.

Evaluating the Practicality of Grover’s Algorithm for Large-Scale Data Search via Quantum Simulation

Lovish Bhatia, Vinay Shankar Pandey, Ajay K. Sharma

Abstract Quantum computing can solve some classes of problems faster than classical computing. Among the greatest quantum algorithms to showcase this benefit is Grover's search algorithm, which has a quadratic speed-up for unstructured search problems. In this study, we present an implementation of Grover’s algorithm on a large-scale dataset comprising approximately 131,072 (217) names. We contrast its efficiency with the classical linear search based on time complexity, scalability, and the likelihood of success. The experiment was conducted using Qiskit on a quantum simulator, where several query scenarios were implemented to verify the algorithm's efficiency and accuracy. Our findings highlight the theoretical advantage of Grover’s algorithm in situations involving large data sets, while also discussing real-world limitations such as gate noise, qubit number, and circuit depth as we move towards actual quantum hardware. This study serves as a step toward evaluating the real-world relevance of quantum search algorithms and provides information on current challenges and future directions in quantum information retrieval.
