It may be that life is just an example of Grover’s quantum search at work, and that this algorithm is itself a fundamental property of nature. That’s a Big Idea if ever there was one.

In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array ... Next, we introduce the heap data structure and the basic properties of ...

But algorithms, unlike humans, are susceptible to a specific type of problem called an “adversarial example.” These are specially designed optical illusions that fool computers into doing ...

Photosynthesis, for example, is now thought to be an essentially quantum process. The work of Guillet and co throws a new perspective on all this. It suggests that Grover’s algorithm is not only ...
