In this case, $x$ describes the colors assigned to the vertices, and $f(x)$ is $1$ if the constraints are satisfied or $0$ otherwise.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>You will learn more about appliyng Grover's search to solving specific problems in later katas.\nThis kata focuses on Grover's search algorithm itself rather than on applying it to a specific problem, so\nit uses a very simple function definition as an example.</p>\n<p>Let's define a fixed bit string $p$ of length $P$. The function $f(x)$ is $1$ if the bit string $x$ starts with $p$, and $0$ otherwise.</p>\n<p>This function has a very simple implementation and will allow you to experiment with instances of the search problem with different parameters easily.\nFor example, if the length of the bit string $p$ equals the length of the input, the function $f(x) = 1$ if $x = p$, and $0$ otherwise.

superpositions of &quot;good&quot; and &quot;bad&quot; states can be defined as follows:</p>\n<p>$$\\ket{\\text{good}} = \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{M}}\\sum_{x,f(x)=1}{\\ket{x}}$$\n$$\\ket{\\text{bad}} = \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{N-M}}\\sum_{x,f(x)=0}{\\ket{x}}$$</p>\n<p>Now, the even superposition of all basis states can be rewritten as follows:\n$$\\ket{\\text{all}} = \\sqrt{\\frac{M}{N}}\\ket{\\text{good}} + \\sqrt{\\frac{N-M}{N}}\\ket{\\text{bad}}$$</p>\n<p>The amplutudes $\\sqrt{\\frac{M}{N}}$ and $\\sqrt{\\frac{N-M}{N}}$ can then be written in a trigonometric representation,\nas a sine and cosine of the angle $\\theta$:</p>\n<p>$$\\sin \\theta = \\sqrt{\\frac{M}{N}}, \\cos \\theta = \\sqrt{\\frac{N-M}{N}}$$</p>\n<p>With this replacement, the initial state can be written as</p>\n<p>$$\\ket{\\text{all}} = \\sin \\theta \\ket{\\text{good}} + \\cos \\theta \\ket{\\text{bad}}$$</p>\n<p>The states involved in the algorithm can be represented on a plane on which

recall that $\\theta = \\arcsin \\sqrt{\\frac{M}{N}}$. When $M$ is much smaller than $N$, $\\frac{M}{N}$ is close to 0, and $\\theta$ is a small angle that can approximated as $\\theta \\approx \\sqrt{\\frac{M}{N}}$. This gives the following equation for $R_{opt}$</p>\n<p>$$ 2R_{opt}+1 \\approx \\frac{\\pi}{2\\theta} = \\frac{\\pi}{2}\\sqrt{\\frac{N}{M}}$$\nSince $\\theta$ is small, $R_{opt}$ is large, and the $+1$ term next to $2R_{opt}$ can be ignored, giving the final formula:\n$$ R_{opt} \\approx \\frac{\\pi}{4}\\sqrt{\\frac{N}{M}}$$</p>\n<p>What happens if you use more iterations than is optimal? Each iteration will keep rotating the state $2\\theta$ counterclockwise,\ngetting it further away from the vertical axis and thus reducing the probability of measuring the correct answer.</p>\n<p>In this demo you will see how success probability of Grover's algorithm changes when it uses different numbers of iterations\nbefore the final measurements.</p>\n"

If the algorithm failed, you can re-run it from scratch and hopefully get a correct answer on the next attempt!</p>\n<h3>Special cases</h3>\n<p>This calculation for the optimal number of iterations is done under the assumption that $M$ is much smaller than $N$ but greater than $0$. In other words, the algorithm works if solutions to the search problem exist, but there are very few of them.</p>\n<p>What happens if these assumptions are not valid?</p>\n<h4>No solutions ($M = 0$)</h4>\n<p>In this case the starting system state  $\\ket{\\psi} = \\ket{\\text{bad}}$, and $\\theta = \\arcsin \\sqrt{\\frac{M}{N}} = 0$.\nNo matter how many iterations we do, the probability of our measurement yielding a marked state is $0$.</p>\n<p>In practice this means that Grover's search will yield a random non-solution every time.\nTo detect that this is the case, we need to run the algorithm multiple times and note the results. If none of them are problem solutions, we can conclude that the problem doesn't have a solution.</p>\n<h4>Solutions make up half of the search space</h4>\n<p>If $M = \\frac{N}{2}$, then $\\theta = \\arcsin \\sqrt\\frac{N/2}{N}  = \\arcsin \\sqrt\\frac{1}{2} = \\frac{\\pi}{4}$.<br />\nThis means that after an arbitrary number of iterations $R$ the amplitude of the basis state $\\ket{\\text{good}}$ in the  system will be:</p>\n<p>$$\\sin{(2R+1)\\theta} = \\sin\\frac{(2R+1)\\pi}{4} = \\pm \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{2}}$$</p>\n<p>The probability of the measurement yielding a solution is then $P(\\ket{\\text{good}}) = \\sin^2\\frac{(2R+1)\\theta}{2} = (\\pm \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{2}})^2 = \\frac{1}{2}$</p>\n<p>You can see that the probability of measuring a state that is a solution remains constant regardless of the number of iterations.</p>\n<h4>Solutions make up more than half of the search space</h4>\n<p>If $\\frac{N}{2} &lt; M \\leq N$, then $\\frac{\\pi}{4} &lt; \\theta \\leq \\frac{\\pi}{4}$.\nNow using even one iteration doesn't always increase $P(\\ket{\\text{good}}) = \\sin^2{(2R+1)\\theta}$.\nIn fact, the first iteration is likely to decrease the probability of success!</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Have you ever wondered why all tutorials on Grover's search start with two-bit functions?\nThat's the reason why: if you have only one bit, you only have functions for which $M=0$, $M=\\frac{N}{2}$, or $M=N$, and none of these make for a good illustration of the algorithm!</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The last two scenarios are a lot easier to handle classically.\nIndeed, a randomly selected classical value has a probability of being a problem solution $p = \\frac{M}{N} &gt; \\frac{1}{2}$!\nIf we repeat the random selection of the variable $k$ times, the probability of success grows to $1-(1-p)^k$, thus by increasing $k$ we can get this probabilty as close to $1$ as we need.\nFor example, For $p=0.5$ and $k=10$ the probality of success is about $99.9\\%$.</p>\n<h4>Unknown number of solutions</h4>\n<p>In practical applications you don't usually know how many solutions your problem has before you start solving it.\nIn this case, you can pick the number of iterations as a random number between 1 and $\\frac{\\pi}{4} \\sqrt{N}$,\nand if the search did not yield the result on the first run, re-run it with a different number of iterations.\nSince Grover's algorithm is probabilistic, you don't nee to get the exact number of iterations to get a correct answer!</p>\n"

The advantage offered by Grover's algorithm is described in terms of the number of queries to the oracle and classical function evaluations. But, if a single oracle call takes many orders of magnitude longer to run than a single classical function evaluation, this overhead can easily negate the advantage in the number of calls. This limitation comes into play even for problems which don't have efficient classical algorithms, such as hash inversion.</p>\n<p>This means that Grover's search is unlikely to offer us a practical advantage over the best classical algorithms for any problems.\nHowever, it remains one of the several fundamental quantum computing algorithms, and a great educational algorithm.\nBesides, a technique that generalizes the idea behind Grover's algorithm called <em>amplitude amplification</em> can be used\nas a building block for other quantum algorithms.</p>\n"
