  • Abstract
    Gauging a quantum algorithm´s practical significance requires weighing it against the best conventional techniques applied to useful instances of the same problem. The authors show that several commonly suggested applications of Grover´s quantum search algorithm fail to offer computational improvements over the best conventional algorithms.
