- Abstract
- We will give an introduction into the quantum search algorithms on the Markov chains introduced by Szegedy and recent modifications based on partially absorbing Markov chains due to Krovi et al. Algorithmica 74, 851 (2016) It has been shown that a quantum search can find a set of marked vertices quadratically faster (in units of the hitting time) for any reversible Markov chain. The proofs are based on certain properties of the stationary state of the partially absorbing walk and rely on quantum phase estimation techniques. We will offer an alternative view of the underlying mechanism of the quantum search based on spectral properties of the quantum walk operator. By considering the complete graph as an example, we identify the relevant two-level quantum subspace leading to a Grover-like rotation in the underlying vector space.
