Grover's Algorithm/Evidence
Method evidence record

Grover's Algorithm

Grover's Algorithm is a quantum algorithm for searching an unsorted database, offering a quadratic speedup over classical linear search. Proposed by Lov Grover in 1996, it exploits quantum superposition and amplitude amplification to find a target item among N items in O(√N) queries, compared to the classical O(N) requirement.
