Amplitude amplification is a technique in quantum computing which generalizes the idea behind the Grover's search algorithm, and gives rise to a family of quantum algorithms. It was discovered by Gilles Brassard and Peter Høyer in 1997, 〔 〕 and independently rediscovered by Lov Grover in 1998. 〔 〕 In a quantum computer, amplitude amplification can be used to obtain a quadratic speedup over several classical algorithms. == Algorithm == The derivation presented here roughly follows the one given in .〔 〕 Assume we have an N-dimensional Hilbert space representing the state space of our quantum system, spanned by the orthonormal computational basis states . Furthermore assume we have a Hermitian projection operator . Alternatively, may be given in terms of a Boolean oracle function and an orthonormal operational basis , in which case :. can be used to partition into a direct sum of two mutually orthogonal subspaces, the ''good'' subspace and the ''bad'' subspace : : Given a normalized state vector which has nonzero overlap with both subspaces, we can uniquely decompose it as :, where , and and are the normalized projections of into the subspaces and , respectively. This decomposition defines a two-dimensional subspace , spanned by the vectors and . The probability of finding the system in a ''good'' state when measured is . Define a unitary operator , where : flips the phase of the states in the ''good'' subspace, whereas flips the phase of the initial state . The action of this operator on is given by : and :. Thus in the subspace corresponds to a rotation by the angle : :. Applying times on the state gives :, rotating the state between the ''good'' and ''bad'' subspaces. After iterations the probability of finding the system in a ''good'' state is . The probability is maximized if we choose :. Up until this point each iteration increases the amplitude of the ''good'' states, hence the name of the technique. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amplitude amplification」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
