Efficient Dictionary Search Quantum Algorithms

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we consider the problem of searching for an element in a dictionary. Various approaches to solving this problem have been proposed in recent decades: classical and quantum algorithms. We present two algorithms: a hybrid classical-quantum algorithm [1], that implements Grover’s search, and a “pure” quantum algorithm based on the quantum fingerprinting technique. Both algorithms work (a) with a high probability of obtaining the correct result and (b) with a quadratic query acceleration compared to the classical one. Our algorithms are much more memory efficient in terms of the number of qubits used compared to previously known quantum algorithms.
