Language: English

Thus, Grover's algorithm has optimal order of complexity. Here, we present an information-theoretic analysis of Grover's algorithm and show that the square-root speed-up by Grover's algorithm is the best possible by any algorithm using the same quantum oracle.
text: 2018, Joseph F. Fitzsimons, Eleanor G. Rieffel, Valerio Scarani, 11: Quantum Frontier, Justyna Zander, Pieter J. Mosterman (editors), Computation for Humanity, Taylor & Francis (CRC Press), page 286,
The best possible classical algorithm uses O(N) time. This speed up is only polynomial, but, unlike for Shor's algorithm, it has been proven that Grover's algorithm outperforms any possible classical approach.
