Abstract:When applying Grover's algorithm to an unordered database, the probability of obtaining correct results usually decreases as the quantity of target increases. A four-phase improvement of Grover's algorithm is proposed to fix the deficiency, and the unitary and the phase-matching condition are also proposed. With this improved scheme, when the proportion of target is over 1/3, the probability of obtaining correct results is greater than 97.82% with only one iteration using two phases. When the computational complexity is $O(\sqrt{M/N})$, the algorithm can succeed with a probability no less than 99.63%.
