Abstract:
An arrangement comprising:a data store capable of containing one or more of 2.sup.n states;a processor for transforming data contained in said data store a preselected number of times with a transform Q having the form -I.sub.s U.sup.-1 V.sup.-1 I.sub.t VU, followed by a transforming of data contained in said data stores with a transform having the form VU,where U is a unitary transformation, V is a unitary transformation, I.sub.s is a diagonal matrix that characterizes a starting state s of data stored in said data store, I.sub.t is a diagonal matrix that characterizes a terminating state t of data stored in said data store, which corresponds to a desired solution, where either said starting state is any state other than the zero state, or said transform VU is any transform other than the Walsh Hadamard transform.
