Grover's search algorithm has attracted great attention due to its quadratic speedup over classical algorithms in unsorted database search problems. However, Grover's algorithm is inefficient in multi-target search problems, except in the case of 1/4 of the data in the database satisfying the search conditions. Long presented a modified version of Grover's search algorithm by introducing a phase-matching condition that can search for the target state with a zero theoretical failure rate. In this work, we present an optimized exact multi-target search algorithm based on the modified Grover's algorithm by transforming the canonical diffusion operator to a more efficient diffusion operator, which can solve the multi-target search problem with a 100% success rate while requiring fewer gate counts and shallower circuit depth. After that, the optimized multi-target algorithm for four different items, including 2-qubit with 2 targets, 5-qubit with 2 targets, 5-qubit with 4 targets, and 6-qubit with 3 targets, are implemented on MindSpore framework. The experimental results show that, compared with Grover's algorithm and the modified Grover's algorithm, the proposed algorithm can reduce the quantum gate count by at least 21.1% and the depth of the quantum circuit by at least 11.4% and maintain a 100% success probability.
