Description
Summary:In this article, we propose a new strategy to exploit Grover&#x0027;s algorithm for unstructured search problems. We first show that running Grover&#x0027;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 <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$k$</tex-math></inline-formula> within one shot of Grover&#x0027;s algorithm and the maximum number of trials <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$T$</tex-math></inline-formula>, given a targeted success <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$p$</tex-math></inline-formula> and the size of the database <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$N$</tex-math></inline-formula>. At the end, we highlight that this new approach permits to reduce the computational time by at least 10&#x0025; for <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$p \geq 0.999$</tex-math></inline-formula> independently of the size of the database.
