Distributed Exact Generalized Grover's Algorithm

Abstract

Distributed quantum computation has garnered immense attention in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, where each computational node necessitates fewer qubits and quantum gates. In this paper, we focus on a generalized search problem involving multiple targets within an unordered database and propose a Distributed Exact Generalized Grover's Algorithm (DEGGA) to address this challenge by decomposing it into arbitrary $t$ components, where $2\le t\le n$. Specifically, (1) our algorithm ensures accuracy, with a theoretical probability of identifying the target states at $100\%$; (2) if the number of targets is fixed, the pivotal factor influencing the circuit depth of DEGGA is the partitioning strategy, rather than the magnitude of $n$; (3) our method requires a total of $n$ qubits, eliminating the need for auxiliary qubits; (4) we elucidate the resolutions (two-node and three-node) of a particular generalized search issue incorporating two goal strings (000000 and 111111) by applying DEGGA. The feasibility and effectiveness of our suggested approach is further demonstrated by executing the quantum circuits on MindSpore Quantum (a quantum simulation software). Eventually, through the decomposition of multi-qubit gates, DEGGA diminishes the utilization of quantum gates by $90.7\%$ and decreases the circuit depth by $91.3\%$ in comparison to the modified Grover's algorithm by Long. It is increasingly evident that distributed quantum algorithms offer augmented practicality.
