Questions tagged [amplitude-amplification]
For questions about the amplitude-amplitude algorithm. Do NOT use for general Grover's algorithm related question. Amplitude amplification is a technique in quantum computing which generalizes the idea behind Grover's search algorithm and gives rise to a family of quantum algorithms. It was discovered by Gilles Brassard and Peter Høyer in 1997 and independently rediscovered by Lov Grover in 1998. (Wikipedia)
