Abstract
In this article, we propose a new strategy to exploit Grover's algorithm for unstructured search problems. We first show that running Grover's routine with a reduced number of iterations but allowing several trials presents a complexity advantage while keeping the same success probability. Then, by a theoretical analysis of the performance, we provide a generic procedure to parameterize the number of iterations $k$ within one shot of Grover's algorithm and the maximum number of trials $T$, given a targeted success $p$ and the size of the database $N$. At the end, we highlight that this new approach permits to reduce the computational time by at least 10% for $p \geq 0.999$ independently of the size of the database.
在本文中,我们提出了一种利用Grover算法解决非结构化搜索问题的新策略。我们首先表明,在保持相同成功概率的情况下,通过减少迭代次数但允许多次试验来运行Grover例程具有复杂性优势。然后,通过对性能的理论分析,我们提供了一个通用的过程来参数化Grover算法的一次迭代次数$k$和最大试验次数$T$,给定目标成功$p$和数据库大小$N$。最后,我们强调这种新方法可以将计算时间减少至少10%% for $p \geq 0.999$ independently of the size of the database.
