Answers: How does Grover's algorithm work on a quantum computer and what is its runtime complexity?

• quantum computing
• superposition
• Grover's algorithm
• state vectors
• qubits
• quantum gates
• runtime complexity

What it concludes

• Quantum computers search an unstructured database of N elements in O(square root of N) time using Grover's algorithm.
• The BBBV Theorem proved that quantum computers cannot perform unstructured search faster than O(square root of N).
• The speedup of Grover's algorithm arises from geometric rotations in state space analogous to Pythagorean distances rather than pure classical parallelism.
